[3DS] How To Downgrade From 11.0 W/ Fieldrunners

WARNING: This method does work with 11.1 and 11.2, but you need to use different downloads. The downloads at the bottom of this description are only applicable for 11.0. You will brick if you attempt to use these files on 11.1 or 11.2.

In this video, I'll be showing you how to downgrade your 3DS from firmware 11.0 using a 2nd, hacked 3DS. This method is a LOT less reliable than the methods for 10.7 or below! Do this at your own risk, I am not responsible if your 3DS bricks! Do not "test" this downgrade on a 3DS that already has arm9loaderhax. You will brick! I made this mistake, and sadly my 3DS is done for... arm9loaderhax cannot fix this brick. It had nothing to do with this tutorial; everything I tell you is completely accurate. The only reason I bricked was because I was "testing" the downgrade on a system with arm9loaderhax, not an 11.0 one like you're supposed to do this on.

Your hacked 3DS will be unmodified.

Also, I didn't edit this video very much, so the audio might be bad. My microphone makes "s" sound a lot louder than it actually is. No other microphones I've used do this, besides my PC mic... Usually I fix that, but I got a little lazy on the editing and didn't feel like fixing it.

Old3DS = Old 3DS, Old 3DS XL, or 2DS
New3DS = New 3DS or New 3DS XL

This works on (hacked to unhacked):
New 3DS to New 3DS
Old 3DS to Old 3DS
Old 3DS to New 3DS

You're on your own for this, I'm making this video assuming you have this set up. The guide is pretty straightforward.

The name in the parentheses is referring to your unhacked system.

---FAQ---
Q: Will this brick/is it safe?
A: I tried to make this as easy and safe as possible for you. It still isn't completely safe, but it should be ok.

Q: Can I use this to downgrade from 10.7, not 11.0?
A: There are software exploits that are much more stable than this, choose one of those instead of this.

Q: What do I do after I'm on 9.2?
A: You can follow the guide above to install arm9loaderhax + Homebrew + CFW + FBI and enjoy free games, hacks, homebrew, and much more.

Q: Didn't you brick by doing this?
A: I talked about this in the first paragraph.

This is great, I've read Plailect's guide but I feel more secure watching someone do it as well. I'm going to be doing this for a couple of my friends using my CFW O3DS, my hacked o3ds doesn't have a NNID on it. Will I need to make one in order to System Transfer? How should I get my friends NNID's back on the target systems safely; and if it turns out my hacked o3ds needs a NNID after all, how do I get its original one back on after the System Transfer?

[DavrK]

Is there anyway that i can downgrade my old 3ds (version 11.2) to 10.7 or below? I already have access to the homebrew channel trough the OotHax

[axela.]

When this happens, what happens to the data on the originally hacked 3ds? Does it stay the same or will it lose data?

[joakimroeed]

Hey! Nice video, keep up the good work man :) But one question, would it be possible to downgrade if i use my n3ds and you use your own? Since I dont have a hacked 3ds and I really really want to install CIAs on my 3ds.

[hudhairahmed]

Did you do a low capacity transfer, or a wifi transfer? the wifi one takes a lot of hours for me. Any ideas?

[Endeavor]

At some point in the system transfer process, it asked for some data to be transferred back and forth in between the SD card and the system memory in which I totally messed up and I can't try in at least a week :(

I have a N3DS with A9HL and all the needed programs, but it's on the absolute newest firmware. Would that work? If not, I also still have an emuNand at 9.2.0-20, would that help? I kinda want to get the Galaxy 3DS but I've heard it's on 11.0 from the factory.

[vdawggie]

do your original games you had previously purchased on the first hacked 3DS still work or are they deleted and now only accessible on the new hacked 3ds?

[usahenry]

Good video, but try talking a little bit slower during the intro. I couldn't hear too much.

[ToonersUWU]

My Eshop only shows game update and not actual games... What to do?
EDIT: Nevermind... Had to change my region.

[kevinyoyo]

rather tgan using your other tutorial, can we use dgtool after this vid?

[Rydoginator]

thanks for the tutorial! I can now install a9lh on my n3ds :)

[mariocastillo]

I need arm9loaderhax installed? Or I can use my sys9.2 3ds with emunand 11.2 Luma 6.3.1? I have an unhacked 3ds with sys11.2, motherboard CPU 020 and I can't do the hardmod.

[TheCalvinTest]

I take it there's no way to do it with one 3DS that has the game installed? :(

[moddedgameofskate]

Is there any other way/game? Fieldrunners isnt available on eshop anymore

[joakimroeed]

Hey man. What do you when you have games already on the 3ds you want to hack. Do you lose them all or is there a way to keep them?

[Hxyuffycucufuuf]

does it have to be specific with arm9? could we just access god mode 9 through other means? because im not really sure how to set up arm9loaderhax on my 3ds...

[moobally_gooballyios]

So if I have an old 3ds xl on 9.2 I can downgrade my 11.1.0.34 new 3ds xl?

[KylesDigitalLab]

I don't have a second 3DS with a CFW installed

[ToonersUWU]

Why when I open autofirm folder (New3DS) does it say autofirm_old?
I think you mixed it up.
