https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-how-to-install-a-cfw-on-a-9-0-9-2-n3ds-without-cn-oot.398394/

Looks like it links the elusive "- (only for cakes) The cetk file" if that's what you're missing. It should also have instructions on how to setup cakes.
It's apparently a tutorial for the n3ds so regrab the files from the github it links to just to make sure you have the right ones.
Not sure if it's up to date but see if you missed something that is covered there.
Thank you so much! I finally have CakesFW booting emunand! Sig patches, Cia installing, everything! Thanks a ton man. Can't believe it took me 3 days to get a proper functioning CFW running. :P

So, I managed to downgrade a few days ago, with the buggier version of sysUpdater and I've been running rxTools. I do want to ask, though, what do you think is the best CFW and how should I run my emuNAND? Thanks!
rxtools with a backup cfw of cakes both booting through menu/themehax booting ctrbootmanager.

That's my preferred setup anyway. Some people like Reinand.

Has anyone had any problems using DLC in RxTools?

I bought a few smash DLCs, then got the rest from that iso site, however RxTools refuses to read the other dlc I installed :/

oh now i finally understand why the description death to emunand 2K16
this "firmloader" is like the bootmii for wii
so if we brick our system we can use this to restore our system NAND
so if I remember correct bootmii writes to the bootrom or boot1 something a long those lines
so maybe this would do something similar
I would perfer that over emunand

From what I heard from others there is no user friendly solution for installing am9loaderhax on all exploitable consoles. Even if SALT released their CFW we wouldn't have a way to boot it from cold boot (at least not without a hardmod)

It's all theory. I mean no one (publicly) really knows how arm9loaderhax works and I'm guessing it's gonna stay that way until it gets patched by Nintendo. But on the bright side you can expect a 10.3 emunand from GW.

What do you mean no one knows how it works? Exploit was presented on the conference to wide audience. Nintendo knows how to fix this, that's not a problem for them. But they can fix this only for consoles that come with 10.4+ preinstalled. Having working arm9loaderhax working you would be able to but any future firmware since you have access to all keys.
GW haven't talked about 10.3 emunand. Their words on the site: We will be bringing Gateway support to systems that are on the current LATEST FIRMWARE: 10.3 and lower. Not even a word about 9.6 emunand on n3ds. So this might be just their implementation of downgrade. I really hope that they can do this, but I currently don't see any way except ntrcardhax and I'm not sure that they can implement this with their current blue card.

What I meant to say was that the code was not public. 10.4 preinstalled? I tought Nintendo could change the keys any time they wanted since no one has figured out how the keys are generated?
Ntrcardhax in theory could be possible via the Red card since it ca be updated to work in a different way. M guess is that theyre gonna use Arm11 to downgrade to 9.2 and then gain full kernel access, after that FPGA the card and install NTRHAX onto its memory?

They need DS card, not 3DS for exploit since only interface for reading DS cards lies in shared memory area with ARM11.

So the Blue card then but technically the Red one could be used as well since none of them are actual game cards, the only difference is that one can be updated and the other one cant.

Failed to get CIA file info!" When I try to downgrade. I'm using menuhax on my o3ds with fw 10.1E
