Holy crap, talk about fast reply. Gonna try it out anyways...
Actually, yeah. Just keep trying.

I would be more worried if the process froze when its installing the stuff.
Since it got stuck at the init, it couldn't have possibly started to mess with the files anyway because safeSysUpdater does a check on the MD5 before installing.

I recommend using the most newer SD cart you have when doing this, then you can switch SD cards once its down to 9.2.

I downgraded with a new 4GB sd card which I got gifted the day prior. Then after the downgrade was successful, I continued with my 32GB sd I had for a while.

Eh... Gonna test it out with my other 3DS... I'll keep on trying until it successfully worked.

Yeah, unfortunately the exploit needed to downgrade in 10.3 is unstable. Perseverance is the key.

This is the screen you should see once it started downgrading, right after it checks the MD5.

I have just successfully downgraded my old-3DS directly from 9.4.0-21J to 9.2.0-20J.

At first, trying to use "sysupdater" gave me nothing but freezing problems.. Tried it over and over again like 40 times and it froze every time..
Got tired of trying that and downloaded "SafeSysUpdater" instead.. SafeSysUpdater worked for me the very first time (not sure if it was luck or that maybe it is just built to be more stable than sysupdater.. Plus I kind of like that it tries to check old/new compatibility and region compatibility and MD5 hashes before it just brazenly goes about writing stuff to the sysnand like sysupdater does..)

I downloaded the full .cia file pack from a "3ds" site dealing with "iso" stuff..
The MD5 hash of the .zip file that contained the .cia files that I used is: a7c14f50e553d99d93efd3a8dd4f8b9d
I used the japanese cubic-ninja game as an entry point in to the homebrew channel..
I didn't have to touch 10.3 at all.. Went directly from 9.4.0 to 9.2.0.

Guess you just got lucky ;) Versions lower than 10.2 aren't certain bricks, they're just a higher brick chance than 10.2 and 10.3.

So, having figured out I can make this attempt safely (manual verification of 9.2 menu MD5/SHA-1, as well as automated verification via SafeSysUpdater with homebrew methods left even if I have to go to 10.5 via softbrick), I'm attempting to use this, but it's ALWAYS dying just after pressing Y.

I'm trying with menuhax, but I also have ironhax available if necessary. Is there anything I can do to increase my chances of getting the memchunkhax2 part of the process to actually succeed?

Well it has nothing to do with latest sysupdater, you guys should just read first post carrefully (where it say in red be sure to be on 10.3 ..)
I meant that as it is based on sysUpdater, why isn't it using the new safety methods too, that were implemented into sysUpdater ? (I'm not talking about the crash, but the title installation order.)

Keep trying, the good thing here is you have back up of the NAND. Also check the MD5 of the CIA packages using to downgrade.

Check the MD5 of the hashes. Sounds like something is corrupt.

also do the .cia need to be listed in a certain order like by date/size/name or will program pick what needs to be installed automaticly.
