I fucking did it. I factory reset my 3DS, used a mostly clean SD, no menuhax installed, and used OoThax.I'm pretty much in the same situation as you (except n3DSXL 10.3.0-28E). Soft-bricked 6 times (tried different things, formatted SD, checked again and again CIA files...)
I've seen here and there that it's advised to format the 3DS but I don't want to do it unless I can restore my friends list and Mii Plaza data (at least Puzzle Swap, I somehow got to like those 3D pictures/animations). If I understand correctly we can back up our saves from digital games using svdt and restore them later using the same tool (once these games are back on SD) (I'd appreciate if anyone could confirm about the restore part). NNID can be restored just by linking it back to the n3DS (and so we can get back our eShop games). But it doesn't allow anything for Mii Plaza or Friend Codes...

Heh thanks for the reminder.Time to change your signature then! Congratulations!
I've been debating about downgrading my New 3DS just because I want CFW support and eShop access, but I'll probably hold off until KTM is released because of the current risk.
Heh thanks for the reminder.
So far, with the latest build provided in the guide, hard bricks don't seem to be possible as long as you don't do something like get the wrong CIAs. Guess just infuriating shit like what happened to me lol. But yeah it's coming tomorrow allegedly so might as well wait if you're not as impatient as me.
I'm pretty much in the same boat as this guy. I'm constantly softbricking and I feel like formatting the 3ds would fix it, but I really don't want to lose my NNID, Friends List, Puzzles from Mii Plaza, etc.
Is there any way I can keep it or put it back after downgrading? NNID is obviously the most important.
Formatting your 3DS doesn't destroy your NNID. You can re-link it later.
You'll lose your mii plaza progress, and friend codes. Message everyone to get them to re-add your new friend code afterwards or something.
At the end of the day, are mii plaza puzzles more important than cfw?
I wouldnt use SysUpdator on n3DS's. Its a really high brick rate. I would wait for KTM to release as its coming within the next few hours
Did you factory reset 10.3, then do the downgrade?I fucking did it. I factory reset my 3DS, used a mostly clean SD, no menuhax installed, and used OoThax.
Justpingo changed his estimate to "sometime before Sunday".I wouldnt use SysUpdator on n3DS's. Its a really high brick rate. I would wait for KTM to release as its coming within the next few hours
This was the case for me.Got the same problem and formatting was the solution

That high brick rate is bullshit, if you use the latest build, and don't do stupid crap such as using the wrong CIAs, then at most you'll softbrick. And besides, o3DS is apparently much better to do this on.I'm on an o3ds though. But now that I know about KTM I think I'll wait.
Yes.Did you factory reset 10.3, then do the downgrade?
o3ds is practically guarenteed to either softbrick or work.That high brick rate is bullshit, if you use the latest build, and don't do stupid crap such as using the wrong CIAs, then at most you'll softbrick. And besides, o3DS is apparently much better to do this on.
Yes.
