Tutorial Simple Guide to Downgrading your 3DS

[nugundam0079]

If you have a Japanese 3DS is there anything specific that you need to do?

I do have 7.x on my 2DS, can I just "update" to 9.2 with this guide or <do i have to> upgrade first to 10.x and do an downgrade to 9.2 again?

I do have only Browserhax method.

i formatted my 3ds to get past the softbrick. @GoodCookie88

Having some issues loading the damn thing.

Try FTBrony, and then press L+R+B+Down on the starting screen, that is what worked for me.

Recovery Mode (A L R Up when starting up) or system update

When starting up; without the SD card I guess? And... just replacing all files on my SD card with my backup or should I formate it before?

It worked for me on my new 3ds xl (eu) i downgraded to 9.2
after the reboot and the black screen i have shutdown the 3ds and removed the micro sd card.
Is there something i need to delete on my micro sd card before i put it back ?
sorry for my poor english btw

i found on thatisosite update packages for 9.2, but shuld i install a normal one or a modfied one (without DS-whitelist update, TWL-firm update, MSET update, AGB-firm update)?

Does this mean we have to redownload the app from your latest post?

 

[ar4757]

That's great for ya!

Now to figure out whether formatting is worthwhile as I don't wanna lose activity log and such

I have downgraded with SteveIce10 Sysupdate after almost 40 fails in booting sysupdate.

Very good news!
You formatted only the system (not the sd card) and now you have everything like before or how you did it exactly?

 

[Av448]

where can i download the lastest version? ( the one that installs SAFEMODE first )

you must post it so to avoid any further brick

@julian20 Your release is a bit more stable on the n3ds but I still keep getting failed to get CIA file and I retried 10 times. I guess I just have to keep doing it?
