Tutorial Simple Guide to Downgrading your 3DS

[hacksn5s4]

some one pm the site i googled that iso site but it don't come up

 

[gmol]

Well I get to the menu but apparently it freeze because it doesn't respond when I press Y or B...

 

[WeedZ]

Farthest I've gotten is 7, usually freeze at 5.

Homemenuhax seems to be the sweet spot. All steps pre installation passed first try. Currently Installing 9.2 cias, will report when finished.

 

[Rob Eich]

where did you get the "Failed to get CIA file info!" is it below the red text (i'm trying to visualise it, as i did not reach that far though)

for others who did not reach yet the red text.. try to run a game close and run HBL>sysupdater that made me go through the option, but im thinking it freeze me since nothing happens after i pres (Y)downgrade

Yes, below the red text after pressing Y. It takes about 30 seconds than displays the error at the bottom of the screen on the left. SUCKS

 

[Nepeta]

Mine keeps freezing on one of the steps - it got to the menu once, but nothing happened after I pressed Y for Downgrade. I have Ironhax and of course browserhaxon 10.3. Should I try installing menuhax?

Is there a way to backup a nand on 9.3++ firmware? I think it's safer if you have a NAND backup in case something goes wrong.

 

[hacksn5s4]

First two attempts with iron hax stalled at step 5.
Third attempt with ironhax stalled at step 8.
First attempt with homemenuhax was successful.

I used HomeMenuHax and even BrowserHax

 

[MochaMilk]

Everything installed perfectly. But...I'm experiencing Homebrew freezing, and booting back to the Home Menu. I had to downgrade back to the other version of Ninjhax. Any tips on how to fix the crashing?

 

[vlasp01]

So HomeMenuHax+Old3ds+CIA Zip from That ISO Site with the latest Sysupdater yields the best result?

 

[WeedZ]

I just want to say that even though I, and quite a few others, we're successful in downgrading with this method. I highly recommend everyone waits until a more stable method is released. Especially if you are a noob or don't fully understand the details of how this works. There is a HUGE risk here. There is currently no way to create a sysnand backup at 9.3 and up, as far as I know, so if you don't have one already not even a hardmod can save you from a brick.

Now if you know what you're doing and are willing to take the risk.. whatever, good luck.

Guess so, but make sure your using the (Full) version of the .cia file, not the modified version
