Hi,

If I am on 9.0.0 is it safer to upgrade to 9.2.0 or should I stay on 9.0.0 and skip most of part two(skip to step 18) like the guide says?

Thanks

hey guys, if im having sysnad 10.7 version right now, how do i update to 11.0 version??
If you already have A9LH set up and a CFW, just update through the System Settings.

Try updating (if you're on redNAND 9.2) or downgrading (if you're on redNAND 11.0) to redNAND 10.7 then do the downgrade to 2.1.

And what is that supposed to change? What is so different about downgrading from 10.7 as opposed to downgrading from 9.2 which is also in the guide? Also I don't think PlaiSysUpdater can do that in the menu it only shows downgrades for 9.2 or 2.1

Hi guys so I started and finished step one and my current firmware in 9.0.0-20U. So can not downgrade and it says to skip to step 18. I then get to step 21 but I don't see EmuNAND9. Should I have done Step 2 even thought it says skip to step 18?

Thanks

I've passed by a thread stating that the error didn't occur after he updated to 10.7 first. It's worth a shot.

To downgrade from 11.0 to 10.7 you'l have to use sysUpdater.

Hi @Plailect I had a lil idea. Intead of restoring the system when on 2.1 (after getting OTP) can't we just run SafeA9LHInstaller using the browser (it can be used to run ARM9 code right?), Install arm9loaderhax, and after that, flash the emuNAND_original.bin to the sysNAND using Decrypt9WIP's 'Keep a9LH' Option?

To downgrade from 11.0 to 10.7 you'l have to use sysUpdater.

I see. Well my plan now was to just update to 10.7 from 9.2 using sysUpdater (should essentially be the same thing) but either way I need the 10.7 firmware files. And I can't find those anywhere, not even the usual places. The latest I can find is 10.5
For now I'm just trying to downgrade to 2.1 using sysUpdater instead of the Plai version, change some things up lol

This could be done if safea9lhinstaller was adapted for use on 2.1, but right now it's only designed for 9.2.

hi..

I am on step4_5.
But when I run Luma3DS I see the version become Sys 9.2.0-20U, instead of EMU x.x.x
When I was on step3_27, I got EMU x.x.x

What did I miss?

You could download the 10.7 firmware using an app called 3DNUS, it's posted here on our community.

I actually managed to get it now. Turns out transferring the firmware.bin to the luma folder apparently didn't work properly and the file was corrupted. I copied the file over again and I was able to downgrade properly from firmware 11.0 on RedNAND.

I went forward even though I did not have any answers. All was successful in the end. I would like to thank @Plailect for the great guide and everyone who made this happen/files and any other contributions.
