i said it because i've been following this thread pretty closely ( have lots of spare time lmao ) and there was not a single person whose downgrade didn't succeed after formatting their 3DS ( talking about O3DS herE )
Didn't work...I formatted and reformatted my SD...

I just downgraded and installed CFW!

View attachment 34645

Almost brand European N3DS XL 9.4 -> 10.3 -> 9.2 -> RX 9.2

Downgraded using @julian20 's sysUpdater - After maybe an hour or two of constantly trying different things.
Open ftBRONY first, Open CHMM2 first, Wifi ON/OFF, Cartridge in/out, using sysupdate as boot.3dsx etc.
I think in the end it was just a random boot up, open and close either CHMM2 or ftBRONY and then the updater.

For CFW i used @wurstpistole 's [Tutorial] and it went smoothly! (Except for errors on my end ofcourse. I forgot to remove SD card when system formatting while unlinking NANDs:rofl2:)

Congratulations to developers :bow:

I'm almost as excited as i was for the original GameBoy ~19 years ago! (Profile picture)

OMG THANK YOU, finally, I have been trying for hours without success.

I was stuck on getting the "Failed to get CIA file info!" error, ready to give up I came across your comment so I gave it another try.
I loaded menuhax, started up ftBRONY, exit and then sysupdater and it just worked. Thank you again ^^

I created a folder called SysUpdate and placed the files there, should i leave it like that? Or just put them on the 3ds folder?

so far i managed to downgrade my O3DS no problem, my N3DS on the other hand is having a lot of trouble getting sysUpdater to work, it goes black screen on menuhax and gives me an error on ninjahax i've already formatted the sd card AND the system

i may have to try another entrypoint
