Tutorial Simple Guide to Downgrading your 3DS

[DKB]

@julian20 : Failed to get CIA info.
N3DS 9.9E, homemenuhax with the last build you published.
I checked the checksum, it is ok.
I'm using OS X 10.11 El Capitan.

Your on MAC, that's why. Make sure to delete files starting with... _. or something like that.

Oh, ok, thank you!

@julian20, is there any way to find out why it freezes on a n3ds after a successful exploit? I mean it gives me the options to press A Y or B, but nothing happens when I press anything.

 

[DKB]

Oh, ok, thank you!

Don't take that so fast! Just look up "Downgrading with MAC or something." It'll work out for you, then.

Thanks TheStoneBanana and everyone else involved!

I've successfully downgraded my N3DS (PAL) 10.3 to a 9.2
I recorded the whole process, so will post a video on youtube shortly ...for anyone that wants to see it in action.

Almost when the it didn't auto restart, had to force power off, when I powered it back on it showed a black screen for several seconds on first boot ...but it was just the new install process!

Also just to add the browerhax worked fine!

im about to give it a 5th try using OoT3D and Julians Sysupdate, will report back as soon as its done

Has anyone successfully done it on a N3DSXL from Europe?

It isnt safe to shutdown the 3ds while sysupdater has started downgrading. If you crashed while init SUlib its safe

To clarify, unless we pick the wrong CIA files (like, for another 3DS model or another region), there is no way it wouldn't let us boot into recovery?

If you pick the wrong CIA files, sorry for the language, but,

YOU'RE FUCKED

Unless you have a hardmod + backup.

I didn't downgrade yet ._. I'm just asking a question. I've spent the whole yesterday trying to prevent people from bricking their 3DSs...

Oh, then, yes. You will brick your 3DS instantly if you pick the wrong CIA files.

I've tried like 30 time but still stuck at #7 or 8# last julian build (n3ds EUR 10.3 using OOTHAX, MenuHAx, BrowserHax, Ninjhax).
i guess i'm not in luck today.

Thank you sooooooo much downgraded 10.3E to 9.2.0-20E New 3DS XL Majoras Mask edition no hard mod EUR/PAL

Yes, I downgraded from 10.3 to 9.2
New 3DSXL (PAL / Europe Version)

That's not my question. My question for @julian20 is that if the latest build will ALWAYS let us use recovery, unless we pick the wrong files.

Just keep doing it, I was about to give up at about 50 times, and then it finally entered the application.

Then, yeah. It should..unless..the recovery files get damaged.

what sysupdate did you use?

 

[julian20]

USE IT WITH YOUR OWN RISK!!!

this uses libkhax again. It should work(the last one works too, but it needs much times to launch)
