Tutorial Simple Guide to Downgrading your 3DS

[hacksn5s4]

They have the encryption keys.

then its not permanent like if you get a brick just send it into them make sure to take all the hack files of the sd though and say you dropped it while it was updating or some thing and it bricked will cost money but you get it unbricked

is there a way to fix a permabrick? i mean, i have some old 3DS parts over there, if i get a permabrick, then what part should i replace? CPU? which? just in case

 

[Garcia98]

They didnt. This is all unreleased code that someone snagged and compiled. Wasn't till later that a test version was made public. This not an official release. But, no one reads.

Jesus...

I don't think nintendo has done the repair centers since the snes days. And even if they did you would have to be under warranty.

I have o3ds in 9.4 and 9.5...
Someone told me that I have to update it to 10.3 first before I started downgrading to 9.2, is it true?
Or can I start downgrading right away?

You would have to re-flash the NAND using a backup of your own NAND before the brick.

HEY EVERYONE, two guys got this working on the FIRST try, by just formatting the SD before using sysUpdater.

Everyone should try that out before keep trying and post if it managed to get the downgrade working

would you wait or lose an 100 to 200 dollar system why are people trying this

Mob mentality. Everyone heard about a great thing and they want it asap. Unfortunately, this great thing is unreleased code and not fully tested yet so people who don't know exactly what they are getting into are willfully risking their systems because they either don't understand the huge risks, or don't care. Some people have money and systems to spare, others assume they won't have any problems at all.

I'm also sure there are some that simply don't understand that a brick is unfixable by the common user.

That thing of "this is unofficial" and "this is unreleased code" it's just bullshit

 

[hacksn5s4]

why can't we make nand back ups on newer flimwares to avoid this

That thing of "this is unofficial" and "this is unreleased code" it's just bullshit

Why? Because Steveice10 compiled a quick update to try and salvage the disaster of all the lemmings walking off the brick cliff?

You can with a hardmod

Impatient champs. Whatever

Why is it bullshit? Because kids on gbatemp can't wait another week before downgrading? Funny.

 

[hacksn5s4]

it wil only take 1 2 or a few days to stable lize it the exploit already works but its not stable

guys i have a pokemon smd which i wanna run on my newlu downgraded o3ds but it requires firmware 9.9.what do i do then?

Steveice10 has nothing to with sysUpdater.

Code is released and THERE IS NOT ANYTHING OFFICIAL.

If these new hax enable NAND downgrading from 10.3, could they not also allow a backup to be made of 10.3? That way downgrade permabricks could be recovered using a hardmod installed after the event.

 

[hacksn5s4]

id just intall cias for now

But really it's not? Almost all bricks have been caused by user error, and most of the sysupdater caused bricks are on the n3ds, which was untested as of the most recent github push. This version of sysupdater was made for this downgrade using memchunkhax2's code, but it wasn't a full release. I'm pretty sure it's just testing ground for KernelTimeMachine's release coming up. Either way, this code wasn't optimised for downgrading yet and anyone running it at this point should understand the risks associated with running ANY code that affects system files. Yeah, steveice10 made a slightly more optimised edit that changed the order that things happened to make it safer (and also implemented memchuckhax2 I'm seeing) but its still a dangerous program for unskilled users to use.

Purhaps, but you'd still need to be hardmodded in order to restore.

Steveice10 incorporated sysupdater into the new memchunkhax2 in order to gain am:u

But since you know better then I do, link me the official release and the github that's not Steve's.
