No not really... Downgrading is still really new so we don't know a whole lot about any adverse effects on the system... this MAY be one of them
Was able to get it working! Turns out I had Disable Signature either on or off, so it wasn't allowing FBI loader to run on H&S.
I think I tinkered with it when I booted CFW the first time. It was in the Configuration menu or Patches, not sure.
I followed these steps on suggestion on someone. Now all my downloaded titles are gone even after I put the SD card back in. How can I get them back?
Phew, almost had a heart attack. Apparently by unlinking the NANDs I can now install themehax without problems. I hope so, at least.
I need help. I am a bit confused here.
What I have:
New 3ds XL on 9.2fw using Cubic Ninja - Ninjhax 1.1b - to launch Pasta CFW
What I Want:
New 3ds XL on 9.2fw with MenuHax Autobooting Pasta CFW.
Issues: I cannot install menuhax because I use ninjhax 1.1, and menuhax requires 2.5 to work, but ninjhax 2.5 does not load arm9 stuff. Which I would need brahma2 right? I have the brahma2 files, but not sure how i would install that via HBL or what to do. I am lost, Please help.
-----UPDATE----
Tried to use ninjhax2.5 and now I am able to install themehax. I tested booting HBL and it worked. I moved the pastacfw 3dxsometing file to root and renamed it to boot. tested to boot directly into pastacfw and it gets stick in a black screen. Help!
I have not done anything with brahma2 at this point.

Had a few edits to this but the long and short is every time I inject the fbi'd health and safety app it no longer appears on my 3DS regardless of being booted normal or CFW. Restored my original hs.app and did it again, no difference.
Yet another edit: I enabled Disable Signature Checks in the Cakes options. Making progress again.

You need an updated version of pasta... (Look for minipasta) also don't worry about Brahma 2 most CFWs have it integrated right into the launcher, as long as you're using a recent build
Hmm, weird... Did you try both the banner and no banner versions of the .app?
Solved by enabling Disable Signature Checks in the Cakes cfw patches. This was off by default for me.

Hi , thank you for the update. I got it to work with minipasta, but is there a way to configure minipasta with firmlaunch?
I used to use pastacfw with out issues, accessing normally via cubic ninja. Then after installing latest updates for smash, smash stopped working. would get stuck at the 3ds loading screen. I configured firmlaunch to work, dont remember how now, and after that smash worked fine with out issues. Booting directly into minipasta most games work fine, but I am back to smash not working, I think it is related to that firmlaunch thing.
As a quick FYI, my emunand crashed nearly instantly on the first time and now will not boot, just goes to black screen. I downgraded my 3DS from 10.3.0.28 U before starting any of this so perhaps an unexpected side effect?
Sysnand(+CFW) is still all good and fully usable. I'll try recreating my emunand and see if it works. Is there any real reason I'd care about running an emunand other than not screwing up my sysnand on cia installs?
Been out of the game for a bit and just still working on wrapping my head around each of the hacks, how they relate and why some methods/cfw would be chosen over others.

Hmm, I know that Cakes handles this fine (you can boot to sysNAND with it too) not sure where you can get a version of pasta that boots with hax 2.5 as I only use Cakes anymore
--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------
If you're on n3ds and you updated your emuNAND to the latest it will not work. The highest version that works on n3ds is 9.5... This guide used to have that but I think in one of the many edits it got taken out. Sorry about that
EDIT: also emuNAND allows you to be on a higher system version without sacrificing the exploitable firmware you're on... If you don't care about the eShop and don't have any games that require > 9.2 then you're fine to use sysNAND

Sorry, I should include details. It is an old 3DS XL. Emunand was not updated, it just crashed on first boot (wouldn't actually load apps, would show them but couldn't start them as no option to start would appear, eventually crashed).
Couldn't care if things went sideways on this in the end at least as I have a New 3DS XL that I won't be goofing around with at any point. Just writing a new emunand now and will see if it plays nice or still stays screwy.
