DyingHynixMLC: moving cfw uninstall warning right below safemode info box

{{System version outdated article|console=ctr|sysversion=11.16.0-49}}

If a custom keyboard is installed and custom firmware is removed from the console, System Settings will be inaccessible and you will not be able to launch the keyboard. This is obviously detrimental to the overall functioning of your 3DS and should be fixed as soon as possible.

There are other ways to reinstall custom firmware on such a console, but they may require additional hardware. This guide aims to reinstall custom firmware without any additional hardware, but if you have the means, [[3dsguide:ntrboot|ntrboot]] will probably be less of a pain.
=Unbricking a 3DS with a custom keyboard installed=

{{info|text=If you have a copy of any of the following:
* Your NAND backup (e.g. <code>220101_AA000000000_sysnand_000.bin</code>)
* <code>essentials.exefs</code>
* <code>movable.sed</code>
'''''YOU DO NOT NEED TO MINE YOUR SEED AGAIN.'''''
For instructions on extracting your <code>movable.sed</code> from your NAND backup or from <code>essentials.exefs</code>, see [[3DS:Recover movable.sed|this page]].}}
{{info|text=If Internet access isn't currently set up, you can set up an Internet connection from Safe Mode as the keyboard will still work there (hold {{Key press|L|R|Up|A}} on boot, then follow its prompts).}}
<center>{{critical|text=Do <big>'''not'''</big> uninstall custom firmware again without guidance. You've now seen first-hand how it can go wrong.}}</center>

{{warning|text=If you can't install Steel Diver: Sub Wars, (NOT Steel diver) there's no point following the rest of this guide and you should choose another method. you can also check if its in your reinstall list.}}

==Section I: Mii mining==
{{info|text=If you already have your <code>movable.sed</code>, you can skip this section.}}

Because you can't enter a friend code due to the broken keyboard, you'll need to get your console's encryption key a different way. We can accomplish this by Mii mining.

Follow [[3DS:Seedminer/Mii mining|Mii mining]] to extract the <code>movable.sed</code> from your console, but do not continue onto the main guide as it suggests. Come back to this page once you have the movable.

==Section II: steelhax==
Now that you have your <code>movable.sed</code>, continue to [[3DS:Alternate Exploits/Homebrew Launcher (steelhax)|Homebrew Launcher (steelhax)]].

If everything went well, you should end up with boot9strap installed and the keyboard / System Settings should work again.

3DS:Luma3DS

2023-08-16T13:48:02Z

DyingHynixMLC: Updating version number from 13.0.1 to 13.0.2 and adding "Plugin Loader" to the list of Rosalina menu.

{{Infobox homebrew
| for3ds = 1
| version = 13.0.2
| releasedate = 2023-08-12
| github = LumaTeam/Luma3DS
| universaldb = 3ds/luma3ds
| githubtag = v13.0.1
}}
'''Luma3DS''' is a [[custom firmware]]. It is the only one in active development for the 3DS.

==Installation==
This is the main custom firmware when using [[3dsguide:index|3DS Hacks Guide]]. To update, follow the steps on [[3dsguide:restoring-updating-cfw|Restoring / Updating CFW]].

== Features ==

* Automatic patches that remove Nintendo restrictions, such as:
** Region locking, allowing you to run out-of-region cartridges and titles
** Signature checks, allowing homebrew to run from HOME Menu
** The flashcart block list, allowing you to run blocked DS flashcarts
* A "Rosalina menu" accessible from anywhere within 3DS mode with many of its own functions, such as:
** Cheat support
** Plugin loading
** Taking screenshots
** Input redirection
** Blue light filter
* LayeredFS support, allowing you to replace individual game files with modded versions on-the-fly
* FIRM write protection, preventing boot9strap from being overwritten with system updates
** This does not mean that system updates will always be immediately "safe"; from time to time, something changes in the system firmware that requires a Luma3DS update

== Usage ==
The Luma3DS repository on GitHub has [https://github.com/LumaTeam/Luma3DS/wiki its own wiki], but some additional information can be found on the following pages:

* [[3DS:Luma3DS/Configuration|Luma3DS/Configuration]]
* [[3DS:Luma3DS/PIN lock|Luma3DS/PIN lock]]
* [[3DS:Luma3DS/Rosalina|Luma3DS/Rosalina]]
* [[3DS:Splash screens|Splash screens]]
