Homebrew [WIP] SafeSysUpdater

[Welcius]

I think i have fixed the "can't press (Y) button the second time" bug, well i just removed this second user input confirmation and it seems to work 100%. In fact if something is wrong it wont downgrade so i guess this check was useless anyway..

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

So i uploaded version 07, which should fix the main problem ("press Y to downgrade" not working) by removing this second confirmation.

Good job, keep working like this

EDIT: @cpasjuste is it possible to add a blinking character on the screen so we know that the application is not frozen? Something like a character changing between "\" "l" and "/" for example, I think it's a good idea

This is totally possible. I'll have to do a lot of debug tough to ensure this doesn't interfere with the downgrade (title installation/deletion). I'll take a look in the future.

Edit: just downgrade my n3ds three times in a row so i guess it's ok

Confirmed working! My N3DS is now a cool 9.2! (downgraded from a fresh, formatted 10.3!

your model is a n3dsxl?region?

It works with EUR/USA/JPN o3DS/XL n3DS/XL. If the device is not supported it will report that and don't downgrade tough.

And thank you for this excellent updater and your continued work on it!
Now that the scariest part is over, I'll start setting up emunand and cfw tomorrow!

Euro. I was on 9.5, but updated to 10.3 as suggested. Then a system format to make sure they system is as clean as possible.
I used menuhax to run the safeupdater.

You have to try multiple times until it pass (should not take too much tries). Waiting ~10 sec before launching it from hb menu seems to help too.

@cpasjuste
When you've got a stable build, I would be happy to make some graphical assets. So long as your intrested/it wouldnt hinder the downgrade process.
Things like loading bar, friendly GUI, battery life icons, ect.

[Joshwraith]

Did anyone have already tried with an US version!?

 

[beefsloth]

should this work for a red N3DS XL with 10.3.0-28U? Also, if I am mainly concerned about losing my save files for fire emblem awakening which I installed via FBI as a legit .cia game how should I go about keeping that save file after downgrading? Thanks!

 

[Tyler Martin]

i get a black screen with dots on the left side when i press y

 

[Lazy0wnage]

0.7 worked, thank you!

 

[Tyler Martin]

I'm going to try to downgrade now with my JP N3DS XL, but first I saw this thread, could you guys help me? which is the best SysUpdater I can use for the downgrade? is this the safest? or may be I should just use the one in this tutorial: http://gbatemp.net/threads/simple-guide-to-downgrading-your-3ds.407888/page-202#post-5948297 ?
