Homebrew [WIP] SafeSysUpdater

[Biovirulent]

Not not yet, ver.11 will never get an exploit. Maybe 11.1 will have an exploit in it, but not 11. Downgrading from ver.11 is only possible with a hardmod, or an existing install of A9LH.

Check the exploits on the list of 3ds homebrew.
"heaphax". Won't get released though

What's that? Is it a kernel exploit?

It's in the exploits on the homebrew list page. It's made by smealum.
Yeah, it's kernel.

Is it kernel level?

Sorry bud I don't know that much. Haha. All I know is it exists. Don't know exactly what it is or how it works, all I know is what the exploits on the homebrew list page told me.

Looked into it, it's a kernel exploit, as we could use it for SysUpdater, but it was partially patched, nothing else is said. So, who knows. Hopefully they can get around what was used to fix it if it's partial.

We can hope so.

Hi all,
I just bought a New 3DS XL a week ago, with out-of-box firmware version 9.9.0-26U. Here are all thing that I've done:

Spoiler

• Inserted a 16Gb new microSD, containing the original 4Gb microSD data
• Did a system format with SD in the console
• Set up BrowserHax & MenuHax
• Downloaded update pack "9.2.0-20U(Full)_n3ds" from that iso site
• Set up the SafeSysUpdater v1.0 & double checked the right files using it
• Opened FTBrony and closed it again

Oh, and then just before I started to downgrade, I googled so many things about this whole downgrading process, and discovered some people bricking their 9.9.0-26E consoles, and now I'm too nervous to do it. I have some questions, and I'm sorry if they were already answered earlier, cause I really can't read all these 100 pages.

1. If you format your system once or twice, the brick chances at the end of a successful downgrade are very low, right?
2. Which version of SysUpdater is the best for downgrade in my situation? The normal one, the safe one, the SafeSysUpdater specific for 9.3-10.3 mentioned by the OP, or PlaiSysUpdater?
3. Does upgrading to 10.3, then downgrading back to 9.2 decrease the brick chance? If so, I must use the original SysUpdater with 10.3 update packs right? Is it as risky as downgrading?
4. If I had partial downgrade, and the mismatching titles were universal (I mean no difference between O3DS and N3DS update packs), I should use this tool again ONLY with those titles right?

Oh, and another thing. This is my first post in this forum! Any answers are appreciated.

if it's brand new, you should format it at least once before downgrading. this prevents any possible soft brick post downgrade.

Which version of SysUpdater is the best for downgrade in my situation? The normal one, the safe one, the SafeSysUpdater specific for 9.3-10.3 mentioned by the OP, or PlaiSysUpdater?

use PlaiSysUpdater.

Does upgrading to 10.3, then downgrading back to 9.2 decrease the brick chance? If so, I must use the original SysUpdater with 10.3 update packs right? Is it as risky as downgrading?

does not do anything.

If I had partial downgrade, and the mismatching titles were universal (I mean no difference between O3DS and N3DS update packs), I should use this tool again ONLY with those titles right?

if you have a downgrade fail in the middle, and the console still turns on, you can continue downgrading. DO NOT UPDATE!

start here. this has everything you'll need. https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/Part-1-(Homebrew)

Hello again!
I downgraded right now and got a partial downgrade. Then re-downgraded and device successfully booted. But when I checked installed titles with downgrade_checker, it showed that these titles are not in correct versions:

    Title ID 0x0004009B00010402
        Expected: 0x1002
        Installed: 0x1402

------

    Title ID 0x0004003000009e02
        Extra title

------

    Title ID 0x0004001B00010802
        Expected: 0x0000
        Installed: 0x0400

------

    Title ID 0x0004013000001B02
        Expected: 0x0800
        Installed: 0x0c01

------

    Title ID 0x0004013000001A02
        Expected: 0x1400
        Installed: 0x1801

However, I didn't find the last two titles in the New 3DS update packs at all, but found them in Old 3DS packs. When I placed files in the "updates" folder, and attempted to downgrade again with PlaiSysUpdater, I was immediately presented by this "error screen" and shut down my device. It boots fine, but I can't install the mismatched titles. Am I wrong with their versions? Please help!

it's safe to ignore these I'm sure. it's fairly common to see the not downgraded. the "extra title" is amiibo settings, new in 9.3.

 

[The_Grox]

Thanks man! Now I can install CFW!

 

[Gow supremo]

This program is bad produces very unstable, the best app to downgrade is Plaisysupdater

my 3ds broke a while's back, so i bought a new 9.9 one. Is this finally safe yet? I remember someone saying this version was just as safe as plaisysupdater now. Is that true? False? Or do i have to download a different/ forked version of safesysupdater? And if plaisysupdater is the best option, is there anyway i can make sure the downgrade files are correct like safesysupdater does without actually downgrading with safesysupdater?

 

[Zyrmkel]

The difference between safe and plai is extremely minimal the last time I checked the code. I'd recommend just using plai though, it should have a checker since it's a fork of ssu
