You can, but formatting it won't do anything; it'll still be on 11.0. Your only options of downgrading are a hardmod or using another 3ds with custom firmware.Hi,
I soft-bricked my N3DS, but I managed to update it through Recovery Mode. Can I format it without bricking it (in order to send it back)?
Thanks
Thanks, I know that it'll still be on 11.0. I just want to format it in order to send it back.You can, but formatting it won't do anything; it'll still be on 11.0. Your only options of downgrading are a hardmod or using another 3ds with custom firmware.
Oh, I thought you meant sending it back to an older firmware.Thanks, I know that it'll still be on 11.0. I just want to format it in order to send it back.
To downgrade 11.0 with another console on CFW, I'll need that DSi Ware game?
Formatting is safe. There's no way to prevent a soft-brick while downgrading, but formatting your system before doing it will significantly lower the chance of a brick.Hum, I think I'll send it back. So formatting is safe even if it has been soft-bricked?
I'd also like to know how to prevent that soft-brick (I formatted the device), please.

If it's a brand new system, you probably don't have to format it, but if you do format it, you should format it before accessing the homebrew launcher.OK, thanks.
Have I to format it before accessing to the first access HBL? Do I have to format the SD Card too?
Oh, I formatted it after accessing to HBL (it was a brand new system)If it's a brand new system, you probably don't have to format it, but if you do format it, you should format it before accessing the homebrew launcher.
I don't think you have to, but you can just to be safe.Oh, I formatted it before accessing to HBL (it was a brand new system)
Do I have to format SD too?
