DONT USE THE ONE OF TUXSH. IT COULD HARDBRICK YOUR 3DS.
The differnece between the two i uploaded is simple:
-SUlib -> works
-libkhax ->higher bootrate than with SUlib

 

[CarefulCrysis]

I'm using the latest build of yours, but it either blackscreens or fails to get CIA info. Should I keep trying?

Ok, I got downgraded to 9.2 from 10.1. My 3ds will not boot with the SD card in unless I hold L like I am trying to boot up the homebrew menu. Ironfall wont start anymore, gets to the 3ds license screen and just freezes there. Trying to figure out what I need to do next.

So your's can't? If you may, can you explain what is the SAFEMODE thing?

Again, unless we install wrong CIAs, there is no way it wouldn't let us use recovery mode?

Ironfall freezes here too. Luckily it's not the only entry point.

Yes keep trying

its possible to get hard brick with either one of yours ? ( using the correct cias of course )

 

[SomeGamer]

Can I keep wireless on during the downgrade?

 

[KillzXGaming]

Ironfall doesnt boot, freezes at 3ds logo. Homebrew wont work and cannot reinstall browserhax??

 

[KentaYoui]

Yes keep trying

Is it enough to press b after the CIA file error and start sysupdater from Homebrew Launcher again?
Or do we have to restart the 3DS?

 

[Substance12]

Ironfall won't work because it doesn't work on firmware 9.4 and below, it's normal. Just use browserhax.

 

[julian20]

So your's can't? If you may, can you explain what is the SAFEMODE thing?

You can launch SAFEMODE instead of normal firmware via L+R+A+DPAD-UP+POWER to update your 3ds. This can unbrick your normal firmware. The one i posted first downgrades SAFEMODE, then normal firmware. TuxSH version doesnt(and steveice first build) doesnt do it in this order so both can be not finished or courrupted. In the version i poste both shouldnt get unuseable at the same time. The one i posted is Steveice10 latest code compiled + libkhax or SUlib

Browser haxs gives a blank screen on 9.2, but not 10.3?

Ok, so yours is "safe", as long as we don't install wrong CIAs.

 

[Boogieboo6]

What's the latest version of sysupdater? 0.4.1?

 

[Ryuzaki_MrL]

So this latest build installs SAFE FIRM first and if it fails during the installation the normal firm still works and I can try again. And if it stucks installing normal firm I can just recover with safe firm since it was installed beforehand. Is it right?

Switch your theme. Choose a colored one, than go back to default one.
This will remove the theme used by menuhax.
You should be able to boot with SD card inserted afterwards.

Also, IronFall does only works in 9.5+.
Use Browserhax for now and install a new menuhax for 9.2
