Tutorial Simple Guide to Downgrading your 3DS

[Viri]

Holy hell, I either get stuck at step 7/8, or I get messed up text, and the buttons don't work! Oh, and once, I got a non messed up menu, but the buttons still didn't work.

Yeah, after 20 tries, I give up. I'll just wait for KTM. I still cannot believe people are that impatient to trust this unstable program. I guess, I did just spend 30 mins trying it my self.

That time you got the menu, you should have waited about 30 seconds after hitting y for it to initiate

It appears to me the error: "ERROR : Can't force threads to core 1."

No matter how many times I restart, it keeps popping up.

I really want to downgrade, but I'm too afraid after today's odd incident.
I guess I'll just wait for KTM then.

This seems important.

I hit y every time I made it to the menu. I gave it 5 minutes, due to me being paranoid of brick.

Okay, n3DSXL/MenuHax/10.3/9.2 complete update pack. Getting black screen after successful update and reboot. Can't go into recovery mode either unless the combination is different.

Yep, in theory everyone will be able to get to recovery if something messes up now. Want to test it?

10.3 U, N3DS

Took me about 2 hours to get pass step 1-8, and the red letters.
Currently installing CIA. Well just finished the Updates Installed, and says Rebooting in 10 seconds.

After it says "Updates installed. Rebooting in 10 Seconds" It fine to force shut down right after 5 minutes?

That's odd then. It took a good while for it to initiate for me, but not that long.

Can someone build that boot.3dsx? And will it help those of us on black screen?

 

[Boogieboo6]

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.

O' wise one, what shall I do if I'm stuck at Getting CIA file informations?

Here is what I did and it seemed to work - If you are having problems getting to where you press Y to install your firmware. Remove your battery for 10 seconds - Boot to the Homebrew Menu - Launch the downgrader - It should now get to where you Press Y - Let me know if this works.
