=== Instructions ===

==== Section I - CFW Check ====

# Power off your device
# Hold the (Select) button
# Power on your device while still holding the (Select) button
# If the check was successful, you will boot to the HOME Menu and you may proceed with this guide

{{critical|If you see a configuration menu, you already have CFW, and continuing with these instructions may BRICK your device! Follow [[3dsguide:checking-for-cfw|Checking for CFW]] to upgrade your existing CFW.}}

==== Section II - Prep Work ====

In this section, you will copy the files necessary to launch b9sTool, which is used to launch the boot9strap (custom firmware) installer.

# Insert your SD card into your computer
# Copy `boot.nds` (B9STool) from the release `.zip` to the root of your SD card
#* The root of the SD card refers to the initial directory on your SD card where you can see the Nintendo 3DS folder, but are not inside of it
# Copy `boot.firm` and `boot.3dsx` from the Luma3DS `.zip` to the root of your SD card
# Reinsert your SD card into your console
# Power on your console
