Developer JustPingo has been working on KernelTimeMachine, a downgrader for the 3DS. Although the application is not stable for now, it promises people will be able to downgrade from the latest 3DS Firmware 10.3, to the much more vulnerable Firmware 9.2.
KernelTimeMachine will let users on 3DS Firmwares 9.3 to 10.3 downgrade to firmware 9.2, without the need for a NAND Backup. The program will use TPP files for the downgrade, but again, it is not finalized as of yet. JustPingo announced that downgrade packs will be made available soon (the site he pointed to specialized in copyright infringement so we won’t send you there).
According to the readme, the process to Downgrade your 3DS with KernelTimeMachine is extremely simple: Install the correct files on your SDCard, and launch KernelTimeMachine with the Homebrew Launcher. The application will then guide you through the Downgrade process.
3DS Downgrader – some tools already available?
Some people are reporting 3DS Downgrade success with the tools that surfaced this week
Some other tools have apparently already surfaced on the net that supposedly let you downgrade your 3DS to Firmware 9.2. JustPingo and other developers have warned against using those tools though, as apparently a significant amount of bricks have been reported already.
DO NOT TRY TO DOWNGRADE WITH THE CURRENT TOOLS. Already 8 known bricks.

The consensus seems to be that it’s better to wait for KernelTimeMachine to be officially released and people to confirm if this works, before you attempt to downgrade your own 3DS. However, some people on GBATemp are reporting successwith those other tools.
And because no work in progress comes without drama, several people are calling out JustPingo, saying his work is just a false promise and will never actually be released. At this point I can’t guess if things will go one way or the other, but the source code on JustPingo’s github looks legit enough though, at the very least it’s not random garbage but actual code that makes sense.
The source code from the KernelTimeMachine 3DS Downgrader can be found on JustPingo’s github here.
