"had trouble" how so? what CIA did you try? also what model and version is it now?

Jayster_2

old rmal 3ds @ 10.5.0-33U. Just patching the friends system-module and Nver worked. the eshop and mint did not do so well.

Jayster_2

Normal*

Jayster_2

Don't get me wrong, the system still works fine, I can play online and such, it's just the downgrade that's got me worried.

ihaveahax

downgrading should be fine (if you're not sure about this, try formatting the SD and/or use another SD card); if it fails in the middle, just continue and DON'T UPDATE BACK TO FIX unless you can't access home menu at all

Jayster_2

Alright.

ihaveahax

remember, if it fails in the middle but you get to Home Menu, *you can still finish downgrading* so don't update.

Jayster_2

Yep. It's just the possibility of seein' that "error has occured" screen again has gotten me spooked.

If you want extra downgrade safety, format first.
But then you'll lose all your data.

ihaveahax

that applies more to New3DS

ihaveahax

.......though there's reports of Old3DS having it happen but chances of it are very low. seems to be dependent on what firmware the console came with, which is like 9.4.

Seriel

My ambassador o3ds had it happen.

Jayster_2

Does formatting actually help it downgrade safer? I've got some things I don't want to loose. like friend cards, and eShop licenses.

Jayster_2

Unless you meant the SD card

ihaveahax

formatting the console makes it safer for some reason. also you wouldn't lose eShop purchases, but would friend list. I'm pretty sure you won't brick; if it does, you can update and get a hard mod

Jayster_2

vb_encryption_vb said he doesn't mess with normal o3ds models though. So I'm out of luck for a hard mod. I'm just gonna hope it doesn't brick, when I do downgrade, that is.

ihaveahax

hundshamer probably does, when he's not busy. or you could also get New3DS and hack it <:

Jayster_2

Lmao, oh, how I wish I could.

ihaveahax

who knows what can happen? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Jayster_2

wait, formatting 3ds = deleting theme data = rip menuhax + 10.5 = spending half a day trying to access homebrew launcher via unstable browserhax. >mfw
