i think I tried that, using a QR that took me to {some url}/3dsbroserhax_auto.php, it got stuck loading and after a minute or two it just said the browser can't be used. There was one time out the many I tried that the browser glitched out super bad but then nothing happened and had to restart, is that an indication it's working?
I know the thread has been derailed, but I find this very cool to do.
I'm now wondering if the same port from the stick to the hardware (3DS and PSP) applies to all sticks, that might able the replacement from other sticks, like the Vita stick.
of course other sticks might interrupt the clam-sell design of the 3DS
well i've read that word anyway, I'm not sure, what I did do was put the starter kit from smea, i got that from yellows8 site, it saidDid you put the browserhax payload on your SD card?
I also copied the update cias on root with the safesysupdater.3dsx on the 3ds folder because I was optimistic and thought I could do it all in one go. My powersaves will get here on Monday so maybe that'll workThe only required SD-card setup is that you extract the homebrew starter-kit on SD.
Sounds like a soft brick. What firmware did you downgrade from? If retail games still boot you can up uparade from a retail game like shovel knight and try again.Okay, just got my N3DS today and decided to downgrade to 9.2, it says it worked but then I dunno what's happened and now it wont boot unless the microsd is taken out of the 3ds and I cant get into settings or the browser, am I fucked? or can i fix this?
EDIT: fixed the not being able to boot with microsd by deleting exdata like someone said in this thread.. System Settings and Browser still don't work though.

I've seen posts by a guy on reddit saying every 9.9 firmware system he's attempted to downgrade has softbricked without fail. Hope you get it sorted.From 9.9.02 or something like that, i've read since that i should have upgraded to 10.3 first, but the guide i followed never mentioned that.. oh well, I might buy shovel knight when i get paid on sunday and see if that works.

rxTools now support N3DS 10.5
is there an app that i can use on the 3DS to keep all the homebrew up-to-date?
Wii Homebrew Browser was great for that.
rxTools now support N3DS 10.5
What firmware is your 3DS XL on?Question for y'all. I have an old 3DS XL, along with a copy of Cubic Ninja. Back when that exploit was found, I took my 3DS XL off the internet and haven't updated it since, so I could preserve the Cubic Ninja exploit to run blargSNES or other emulators.
Anyway, I've preordered the New Nintendo 3DS XL Pokemon bundle, and I'm wondering how I go about getting my content from the old 3DS to the new without doing a forced connect to the internet like Nintendo requires during system transfers? I've got several digital games on the old 3DS I'd like transferred, as well as save data for them as well. Will this be possible without updating the old 3DS XL and losing out on the Cubic Ninja exploit?

Not sure why anyone would want to choose rxTools over Rei, the later is much more stable and reliable
What firmware is your 3DS XL on?
Cubic ninja exploit still works and is unlikely to ever be fixed. You could either upgrade to transfer or
Downgrade(depending on your 3ds firmware you might not even need to) + install emuNAND to transfer your content from a 10.5 emuNAND(an emulated system menu loaded from your SD card), while keeping your system on 9.2 and being open for bigger exploits. (Backups, better emulator performance, some different homebrew.)

Relax. Don't worry and don't rush. We're here to help you find some options.So my gf went and got me shovel knight. I put it in my 3ds and it wont load, its just stuck on the Nintendo 3DS load screen like when I try and go into system settings, fucking hell. cant believe I ruined a brand new 3DS

Can you get into recovery mode? Don't do anything whilst there. But it's a nice test.
https://3dbrew.org/wiki/Recovery_Mode
Pretty sure I'm on 9.2. Is there a good resource for how to install the 10.5 emuNAND? TIA.
Yep, can get to Recovery Mode and can also boot other games, just can't access the Browser, Shovel Knight, or system settings.
GBATemp has some good guides. I haven't used this one myself(since I have a n3ds) but it looks fine. , although I'd use TinyFormat to format the sysNAND to unlink instead of the official utility.
You tell us. Can you still login using it?Ah damn I unlinked using system settings, did I screw up my nnid?
Try following this guide: http://gbatemp.net/threads/guide-re...mware-w-o-upgrading-to-10-3-or-higher.413368/
Good luck!

The only reason is for Region Free support built into rxTools, but even then, the process of opening NTR for region free is only <20 seconds after booting up Reinand/Cakes.
did you use sysupdater to install 10.3?My n3ds on 9.9 did a "half update". It showed the firmware as 9.2 but everything failed after that.
I updated to 10.3 then tried the downgrade again with no issues.
Any suggestions?
So I assume if a downgrade from 9.4 failed mid way and now the system displays a black unlit screen on boot I bricked it?
Tried with and without micro SD.
Probably, unfortunately.
But, before you toss the thing, try booting into Recovery Mode first. It'll put you on 10.5 which you can't downgrade from without a hardmod, but at the very least your 3DS will work.
Aaaaaaaaaand recovery mode a no go. Thanks Obama.
Will Nintendo service this thing for a fee? Feels bad man.
I think I dumped my 9.2 sys nand as soon as I downgraded. Maybe I should restore that and then use tiny formatI did as well, it's restorable just takes some time to fix it.
The only thing you can do is keep trying. The exploit is super finicky and doesn't always execute properly, which is why you get that error.
Take it from me; I downgraded 3 3DS'es - 1 old, 2 new - and that error popped up more times than I care to count.
Thank you, Mr.
May I ask a few other questions? Do I have to downgrade to 9.2 or could I go straight from 9.5 to install some Firmware? Pasta doesnt start, just flashes once.
Do you think the OoT entry point will make a better choice for installing the downgrade, if I need it?
Cheers, Chris.
Holy shit, all the reinand installation tutorials are complex and confusing.. I really shouldn't have ever bothered with this but now I'm too determined.
