Tutorial Simple Guide to Downgrading your 3DS

[MasterLel]

Doin it now

Wait so you had the black screen thing, and then simply format it instead of updating it back to 10.3, and boom everything works ?

 

[DarkenedMatter]

Latest version still doesn't work so...

 

[Blade151]

Worked like a charm. No issues.
Just downgraded from 10.3J to 9.20J (O3DS)
Everything is also still intact except for menuhax it seems.

Using recently posted new version. Now I'm getting:

titleException:
main.cpp:148: Result: 0xD900182F
Failed to get CIA file info!

does DSi titles get removed If I format my 3DS? transfered them from my old DSi , Im pretty sure theyll be gone forever if I format my 3DS

 

[Nzash]

Same here, getting "Failed to get CIA file info!" with the newest sysupdater

Yes, all the titles are removed

failed to install==crash

So if I'm getting this correctly, the new build ensures that Recovery Mode flashes correctly before moving on?

I was on 10.3. I formatted and then downgraded. it worked.

 

[Danieldodi]

So, with the new SysUpdater is more safe?

 

[Zedjones]

i got a "failed to get CIA file info" error with the new version you guys posted

is it safe to boot into HOME menu? i am still at Homebrew Channel and i'm afraid to go into HOME menu if it broke

It should be fine. That's a common error on Steveice10's build. I've gotten that like 20+ times.

Here it is

Ty, I tried 10 more times with this version, same result. Failed to get CIA info :[

Using recently posted new version. Now I'm getting:

titleException:
main.cpp:148: Result: 0xD900182F
Failed to get CIA file info!

This is the same error as before. When julian20 uploaded it the first time.
Also @Mrrraou mentioned that this certain app doesn't exploit kernel access.
The question is does it really work as a sysupdater?

 

[Seriel]

I don't know what to do now im in 9.2
How do i get my apps back? Can I set up eshop spoof?

 

[Nzash]

Keep hearing from people about how their 3DS ended up getting bricked after some hours of working fine, that really has me worried

 

[Heavy01]

I'm using an original 3ds XL on 10.3.0-28U, downgrade is successful, system reboots normally, but when I go into system settings I'm still on 10.3.0-28U

Am I doing something wrong or do I have to keep downgrading until it works?

Bumping question because I got the last post in the previous page (just my luck)

 

[AtlasFontaine]

Which version of Sysupdater is safer to use?

 

[MasterLel]

I was on 10.3. I formatted and then downgraded. it worked.

Ah, so ->

1) Format the 3ds
2) Setup menuhax and run sysupdater
3) Dowgrade to 9.2
4) ?????
5) Profit

is that correct ?
