Tutorial Simple Guide to Downgrading your 3DS

[Xen0]

maybe the cause of the brick is that im using a us cia update while my o3ds is japa version? 10.3 downgrading = brick again i will access recovery again if it works

LOL why don't you use japanese files then? It's obviously not good...

you can't change your sysnand 3ds region.....

Im on old 3ds 9.9.0-26 (blocked browser), so I can update to the latest version and use the spider28hax and then downgrade with this. Correct?

That would quite likely do it, please don't try things like that at this stage people. There's no way things are stable enough that experimentation is a good idea at this point.

Sorry to ask these questions again, but there's so many informations in this thread i'm lost so sorry for asking again

1) As of today is it safe to downgrade a N3DS 10.3U to 9.2?
2) If 1) is yes can I have the files please
3) What do we do after the downgrade, do we need new files or can we install emunand?

Baccked up my SD card, formatted it, copied over the Nintendo 3DS folder and the bare minimum need to downgrade.
Still doesn't work.

For the ones who downgraded their N3DS XL USA: Did you install a CFW after downgrading without any issues? I'm very confused of what's happening with N3DS now, everything is a mess due to the excitement and I don't want to brick my console.

I'm on a 9.9.0-26 EU N3DS. Can anyone confirm that this should work for me? I don't want to brick my 3ds lol.

hmmm put the backup of my microsd on another one. n3ds still boots but cant access the micro sd

 

[YugamiSekai]

I'll just wait for a stable release.

Swanky. I'm going back to sleep, but I know what I'm doing today!

Going back to 10.3 since I can't use FBI nor EmuNAND9 on my 9.2 N3DS...

Just want to confirm for fellow New3DS Japanese System owners..
I finally succeed downgrading to 9.1. Here are the details if needed:
System : New 3DS LL Pearl White (JP System)
Firmware : 10.3- (latest)
Entrypoint used: Menuhax2.1 (with config Hold R when booting to enter HBL)
000400102002CA00.cia deleted
No of tries: 6
Note: Before opening sysupdater, i always open FTBrony first, then press B twice to go back to HBL, then open sysupdater. (Advice from several forum members)

Often freeze on step 2, 7 , 8.. (If freeze happens on the steps, just hold power button to force shut down) then try again.
After that downgrade menu show up, press Y. Heavy Breathing~~
~~~~.cia installed
~~~~.cia installed
Success and automatically rebooted after 10 seconds.
Home menu displayed, check setting , 9.1x firmware spotted HURRAHHH !!
Thanks for all the devs and you guys on gbatemp

That is correct yes.

 

[hacksn5s4]

how many people have bricked with this

 

[Seriel]

Out of sheer desperation I decided to install 9.0 instead of 9.2
And that did not work either.
Anybody know why this is constantly failing on my 3ds and no one elses?

 

[ketal]

how many people have bricked with this

I don't know about the users of this guide, but according to my survey, on 34 users, only bricked 3 units (8.8)
