Homebrew [WIP] List of known bricks due to an attempt to downgrade to 9.2.

[Ridge]

Where did you get yours?

Also, I should say that I haven't actually downgraded using this pack, I am waiting for KTM.

Googled and landed on a certain iso site which gave me what I needed. Works on my Old 3DS XL, downgraded from 9.8

If it came on a version over 9.2 I'm not sure if it's safe.

It's a good question that, since I have not seen it mentioned elsewhere. It could be like a PS3 and that certain models cannot be downgraded as they shipped post 3.55 from factory, so trying to downgrade a 3DS to 9.2 that shipped with a higher stock firmware from factory may cause issues.

It's just a guess and could be wrong, yet thought it was worth mentioning.

Same source, I don't why it's different. Are you on mac maybe? Anyway, it worked for you, so that's all that matters.

Nah I'm on Windows (10 to be precise). I must have done something wrong when checking the SHA1, but those are the ones I use and they worked on my Old 3DS XL. That's what's important I guess.

Alright @Ridge sent me the dl link by pm, it's the n3ds version... if you have installed this on your o3ds, you will have serious troubles soon or later

[Ridge]

He gave us the wrong checksum (he have multiple downgrade packs, for o3ds and n3ds), it's just a mistake

No, it was indeed the checksum for Old 3DS 9.2.0-20E firmware folder. I just must have done something wrong when checking it. Which is a ridiculous fail on my part, I'll admit.

 

[trigao]

this bricks caused by this downgrade are fixable by hardmod? or its a raspberry pi stuff?

i will not do it, just curiosity

yes, I posted too fast before reading the pm haha, I edited my message.

Imagine if 10.4 was released during the fixing of your console and they decide to update it....

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Also could someone tell me or tag me in their post of what happened to their 3ds when they received it from Nintendo, so I can decide whether or not I should just buy a 9.2 3ds

I downgraded succesfully about 100 tries via menuhax on 9.8 O3ds.

Steps:

-start 3ds with menuhax
-turn wifi on when menuhax logo shows up
-start any 3ds ftp app and close it by button B
-go down to sysupdater, wait till the dropdown comes to still standing and start it.
-Press Y on sysupdater app

I began the process, saw four CIAs correctly installing and had to get the phone. When I came back the screen was black (but on), left at it for some minutes, and then looked it up and saw some people saying that they had to force reboot, tried that, but nothing happens....did it brick???

Take out your SD card and reboot. Could be menuhax.

If you had menuhax remove the SD and boot, if that doesn't work then yea, it bricked.

Reporting successful downgrade of a launch-day black N3DS XL from 10.1U to 9.2U. Menuhax 2.5 used as entrypoint, I had previously been getting a "Failed to get CIA info" but I backup up all data on MicroSD, formatted it, and then restored only the essential data (just the folders of 3DS, Nintendo DS, private, updates, and all the homebrew-related files and nothing else) and then next successful launch of the sysUpdater it successfully downgraded. Then after it rebooted on finish I powered down, removed the microSD, powered back up, and I had 9.2 installed. Used SteveIce10's improved downgrader.
