Every time I try I get the error:

titleException:
main.cpp:100: Result: 0xD8E08067
Failed to get CIA file info!

Any advice? I've tried with both menuhax and ironhax

Mind giving some details on your 3DS, like the model, FW, entrypoint, etc.?

I bricked as well:

O3DS
9.9.0-26U
Entrypoint: Menuhax 2.1
Issue: Downgrade stopped due to a missing cia file (apparently) and force rebooted my 3ds. Now I get a black screen everytime I power the 3ds on. (With and without SD) Also, I can't boot to recovery.

So I got this working perfectly on my secondary 3ds on the first try using ironhax as the entry point ..
My question is.. Is it safe to "Format System Memory" now that we have correctly downgraded?
Would like to format so I can unlink the NNID so I can set one up for a 10.3 emunand.

So... is it really worth to downgrade? I mean, i've a lot of legit apps and games installed in my sd card, and since you are downgrading and need to unlink sysnand and emunand, do i will lose all my data? I dont want to lose it...

Still freezing @ #7:Clean memory and release kobjects..." with menuhax.
Freezing @ #8 Ironhax. Jesus, this figures...

Also tried with FTP-3DS open/close but that shit just freezes on Press B to Exit, like FTP-Brony does.

Bricked similar to what PF2M described in his earlier post:

Was about 4 CIAs into installation and then interrupted by a black error screen in the regular 3DS font saying that an error has occurred and that I need to restart.

I am unable to enter Recovery Mode. Tried with and without SD card inserted.

I am on N3DSXL running 9.9 with MenuHax.

Has anyone who hasn't used MenuHax experienced a brick?

No, EUR has exactly 130. If not so please PM me the right files
Sorry this is US not Europe, you're probably good although I'm not sure of the correct number for Europe.

Did you try taking out your sd card?

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    He couldn't eat until after his MRI, when he had a bomb pop.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    What matters now is that he's doing alright.

    But you still don't know what it was?
