Stuck on 2.1.0 Firmware!

[Cyberludthra]

I have downgraded to 2.1.0-4 Firmware following the (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezprzDkHie4) Guide. Im on an O3DS XL and I've followed the steps perfectly. The problem is. I can't continue to (12:25) in the Video listed above because I have Parental Controls on it (so I can't access Browser Settings) and I cannot remember the PIN. I've tried a lot of combinations of PIN's but none worked. When I hit "I Forgot" on the Parental Controls it freezes up. I Also can't restore back to my 11.2 Firmware because I can't start up the Payload [Using Power + Start OR Power + Select]. So now I'm stuck on Firmware 2.1.0-4E. I have tried updating the Payload, ARM9, A9LH and all sorts of things to get me back to 11.2 but it didn't work. If you can find a way for me to revert back to firmware 11.2 OR continue with the process of getting CFW by bypassing Parental Controls [Remember I can't do the I Forgot Method because it freezes up everytime I try.] So if there is anyway I can, PLEASE let me know. Thanks...

If you need pictures or screenshots please let me know.

Also don't use video guides. Use https://3ds.guide/ Since you're already on 2.1 start here

I've been in this situation, salthax is useless to him since he cannot generate the key needed by salthax (from Parental Controls).

@Cyberludthra your only option at this point is to remember the PIN or do a Cart Update and nothing else.

[Margen67]

Are you holding start or select while powering on the 3DS or powering on then pressing it? Because pressing it won't work.

Hint hint, this isn't the place for your issue.

@Comittee what is a cart update?

[pbanj]

You use a game cart to update the system
