Hacking Gateway Downgrading

[jres]

Just another successful downgrade confirmation, blue 3ds xl eu (orig. 4.1) 9.2 -> 4.5.

How is that an answer to the question? If I understood you right you did have emunand before the downgrade, so of course it would work then on 4.5 with 9.4 emunand.
But he asked what if you didn't have emunand before you downgraded?

My reply was meant as a follow up to the information stated in the OP that was quoted by him. His question was based on the assumption that you need to have sysNAND and emuNAND linked for the eShop access to work after the downgrade as it is stated in the OP, but this clearly isn't the case, so he shouldn't have to worry about that.

But do you need to have had EmuNAND before downgrading or can you get it on 4.5 now and should have no issues?

stay on topic please, this thread is for downgrading info =]

You got it, mah! <3

I just restored my old 9.2 sysNAND again, so I can try to downgrade and then create a new emuNAND to see what happens with the eShop access.

Cool. Thank you, I was actually scared to do that. I'm interested whether that will work.

Will my eshop Pokemon AS save corrupt if I downgrade? As its not an retail Card game.

And The problem its only related to pokemon? Or other Games like fantásy Life and Smash Bros too?

Not sure about AS, but none of my other e-shop saves (Pokemon X, Dual Destines) were corrupted after downgrade AND system format(was backed up on my computer).

Shoot, looks like it corrupted Smash too.

However, even after the 3.1.0 Gateway update it looks like I'm getting an SPI Test Fail, so it could be my own physical card giving me issues.

Well, this sucks.

My retail smash save got corrupted too.

Very well said. You hear the Sky3DS users crying now?

Why would they be crying? Their cart still works with all games released thus far.

The only crying I hear is from Gateway users bricking their systems and corrupting their game saves. No Sky3DS users, yet.

Really really stupid question: Once the Gateway "Downgrade Console" thing finishes and sends me back to the Gateway menu, I just reboot the 3DS with the power button, correct?

Correct.

I think you need glasses, mate, it says "0 bricked" right there on the first page, first post, despite performing such a dangerous operation.

Gateway actually cares about their customers and makes sure they don't have to buy a new card every month.

I did the procedure worked. Nintendo 3ds XL, US, 9,2 20u > 4,2 US.

 

[Romsstar]

I guess the sad moment comes for Sky3DS users when they realize they won't be able to play the translated version of Digimon World Decode... (Sky3DS can't do that.)

If you clear your sd card and only have the launcher.dat file and the gateway.dg file in your sd card, is it OK for the 3DS to make home screen management info once you turn on the 3DS before downgrading to 4.2?
