This, or just don't downgrade at all. New thread everyday about someone who downgraded and are having problems. If OP was having problems on 8.1 he could have asked on here and we most likely could have helped him way easier than what he's done now.

Need newest atmosphere or reiNX to work on 8.1 likely you don't have the newest cfw to support 8.1 but new enough for 8.0.1 is what I'm guessing. Support for 8.1 is pretty recent update your files and try again
