Please keep in mind this as a way of knowing what NOT to do. If you seemed to have gotten a brick, first try taking out the SD card (seems to be a menuhax error, intended to happen) and booting into recovery mode. If you bricked your console, please report it here!
@Mai Heroes: N3DS. Installed CIA files for O3DS on an N3DS.
@VanFinale: Had a Japan N3DS and didn't delete 000400102002CA00.cia.
@sampson: cause is unknown, apparently a crash occured.
@Ryuzaki_MrL: Shut down his 3DS on "Getting CIA Information". (Not a proper brick, he can't use recovery mode and eShop and System Settings are gone.)
@theholycabbage: 2DS. A CIA install failed. Cause is unknown.
@BlindEdict: N3DS. Installed CIA files for O3DS on an N3DS.
@bjt: EU 10.3 N3DS, menuhax 2.1. Shut down his 3DS after staying on the "Rebooting" SysUpdater screen for 10+ minutes.
@Evoker: Hard-shutdown his 3DS after "Installation Complete, rebooting in 10 seconds..." This shouldn't happen, so it's likely a crash happened. Managed to get into recovery, and changed his primary DNS to 8.8.8.8 and secondary to 8.8.4.4, which downloaded 10.3.
@MassExplosion213: No info given.

@Hihomaster: O3DS. Managed to boot into recovery and update to 10.3.
@Minnow: Downgraded with 9.2 CIAs, but he ended up with a 9.1 system.
@Theswweet: 10.3 O3DS. Downgraded with 9.2 CIAs, but he ended up with a 9.0 system.
If you are getting "an error has occurred" after "successfully" downgrading, and you used HomeMenuHax as your entry point, try the following:
REMOVE payload files from SD card root. BACKUP and REMOVE homemenu extdata (/Nintendo 3DS/<a bunch of numbers and letters>/<a bunch of numbers and letters>/extdata/00000000/0000008f). Insert SD card back into 3DS. Hold L+R+UP+A before powering on, power on, and continue to hold the buttons.
TO PREVENT A BRICK:
- Do not shut down your 3DS on "Getting CIA Information"
- JAPAN N3DS ONLY: Delete the file 000400102002CA00.cia from your update folder.
- Have some battery on your 3DS and leave it plugged in.
- Wait a while for SysUpdater to do it's thing.
- Delete the Tubehax DNS before doing anything, as you won't be able to update from recovery if anything happens.
