I have sucessufully downgraded my N3DS 10.3.28U to 9.2!!!

I have used the SafeSysUpdater from this thread and worked very nice! Thank you very much for your app! It worked at my first attempt and I just had one issue: It didn't reboot by itself.

Before attempt I formated my system and my SDCard using the Nintendo's recommendations. It seems to help avoiding softbricks.

So, everything sounds good so far! Tomorrow I'll spend my day reading and reading tutorials how to setup a CFW. I hope it works like the downgrade has worked for me, with no issues.

EDIT: I used menuhax as entry point

it has been sitting at this for more than 5 minutes... and everytime I start it this same happens, any tips please?

should I restart it? is this normal?

could it be that my error is because I'm trying it on a Japanese N3DS XL??

@cpasjuste I finally got it to work after 24 attempts! Thanks, great work!

Alrighty! Finally got it to work after around <20 times! Just keep trying and you'll eventually get past that "init ->" point. :)

Time to see if I can do some cool things with this.

FINALLYYYYY YAYYYYYYY

New 3DS Hyrule Gold Edition US
original firmware: 9.9
updated to: 10.3
downgraded to 9.2

after 7x black screen, i turned wifi on, and the downgrade was made. thanks for your work!

Hi !

i'm so glad it worked nicely for all of you :) I think it's time to change the title from [WIP] to [RELEASE] ... if a moderator could do that for me :)

I'll take a look today to the JPN code, but i don't see why it wouldn't work :/ By the way what's your firmware version actually ?
 
I can never get past the integrity checks I always get a MD5 fail on the first cia. Is there something else I need besides the cia's in the update folder?

I am on N3DS 10.3J. I downloaded the 9.2.0-20J(Full)_n3DS zip from the usual site.

I just found the problem, i did a mistake on the JPN files path :x I'm uploading a fixed version in a few secondes..

Version .08 uploaded which fix the wrong filepath, sorry for that !
 
i downgraded an o3ds and an n3ds at the first try with the latest sysupdater from julian20, but both 3ds must be on 10.3.

my o3ds was on Firmware 10.2. and the n3ds was on 9.8.
i wanted to downgrade without success.

i figured out that i must update both 3ds to 10.3.
my entry point was ninjahax2.5 with ftpbrony exit.

i have format both 3ds before i downgraded and after i downgraded.

both 3ds works very well.

You not in the julian sysupdater thread.. but well, thanks for the confirmation that people should update to 10.3 before downgrading.
 
New version seems to be working. Wish me luck!!

Edit: Proud new owner of a 9.1.0-20J N3DS. Thanks man. First try with successful reboot.

So the "9.2 JPN Full" pack is in fact a 9.1 one ? :/ If so it would be nice to find a real 9.2 JPN pack so i can update md5 to that.. Else i'm so happy for you :)

@cpasjuste how i can compile safesysupdater?
I use "cLion" IDE to compile it, but it should work with "cmake" from command line (mkdir build && cd build && cmake ..)

I think so. After all of the reading I have done about downgrading it is common to see the Japanese consoles downgraded to 9.1J. For a while it was listed as "strange" but now it's pretty normal. I was not surprised to see it.

Yep, the update archive name is wrong.
 
Wow upto v8 now.. glad it's working well for everyone. If only some people had waited a bit for a safe version instead of jumping on the first (very poor for newbs) tutorial/release and getting bricks.

Good job cpasjuste :-)
