[Urkaz]

@Jackus , @GoodCookie88 some results? I have the same problem and I don't know what to do...
Formatting deletes everything? Including your NNID or you can link it again after downgrading and download your eshop things again?

It still doesn't work with mine... I guess its the safest if I just wait for a more stable release.

i have removed sd card, even with L R A UP is not working, only the led is starting at power

I'm sorry man, I don't think there is much you can do, maybe wait for a solution. Just warn people not to use ttp files.

a hint of where to find the proper/safer cia update files for all region would be great and could prevent some brick, i'm not even sure i have the right one.

Have been trying to downgrade for a few times now.
n3dsxl 9.6-24e. Have 9.2-20e n3ds files in the root>updates folder. Size of all 102 cia files is 149,543,616.
Menuhax>theme manager app, press A>back to menuhax>sysupdater
#8..success!
I press Y AND NOTHING EVER HAPPENS. I waited for good 5 something minutes.
Like 5th time, but this time after I pressed Y I'm just staring at the screen, nothing past red text of n3ds warning. I actually waited for like 10 minutes this time, still NOPE.
What is this.

Using the app in the OP. How long does it stay on Step 5? Could I just turn off the system or no?

People already talked so much about it here.

It's an absolute Chaos, but the ISO site also has it.

after the #8 step you should have a menu that ask you to push Y for downgrade, if not you're stuck at step 8 like many of us.

The thing is it takes literally half a second to get to that point YES it says A/Y/B button commands and the red text on the bottom but as I mentioned in my previous post nothing happens if I press Y, also tried to press B afterwards and it doesn't work neither. :C

I'm now stuck at "Updates installed. Rebooting in 10 seconds...", waited 5 minutes. Should I hard restart or wait more

So long as it hasnt started a text saying "reading cia files" its safe to hardboot and try again

N3DS? Update pack file name? PC or Mac? 3DS FW version before downgrading?
