3DS:Alternate Exploits/Installing boot9strap (Frogtool): Difference between revisions

Revision as of 16:24, 31 August 2022

Required Reading

We will now use our Homebrew Launcher access to run the Frogtool utility in order to inject the exploitable Japanese version of the "Flipnote Studio" title, which we then use to run b9sTool and install boot9strap.

This is a currently working implementation of the "FIRM partitions known-plaintext" exploit detailed here.

To use the magnet links on this page, you will need a torrent client like Deluge.

What You Need

Your movable.sed file from completing Seedminer or nimhax
frogcert.bin (magnet link)
The latest release of Frogtool
The latest release of b9sTool

Instructions

Section I - Prep Work

Power off your device
Insert your SD card into your computer
Copy your movable.sed file to the root of your SD card
- If you followed nimhax, this will already be on your SD card
Copy boot.firm and boot.3dsx from the Luma3DS .zip to the root of your SD card
Copy boot.nds (b9sTool) from the b9sTool release .zip to the root of your SD card
Copy Frogtool.3dsx to the /3ds/ folder on your SD card
Copy frogcert.bin to the root of your SD card
Reinsert your SD card into your device
Power on your device

Section II - Patching DS Download Play

Open the Homebrew Launcher using any method
Launch Frogtool from the list of homebrew
Select the "INJECT patched DS Download Play" option
Frogtool will automatically run and inject the JPN version of Flipnote Studio into your DS Download Play
Once this operation has finished, read the screens and check if the process was successful
- If there are any errors or missing files, correct the problem and try again
If the process was successful, tap the touch screen, then select "BOOT patched DS Download Play"
If the exploit was successful, your device will have loaded the JPN version of Flipnote Studio

Section III - Flipnote Exploit

If you would prefer a visual guide to this section, one is available here.

Complete the initial setup process for the launched game until you reach the main menu
- Select the left option whenever prompted during the setup process
Using the touch-screen, select the large left box, then select the box with an SD card icon
Once the menu loads, select the face icon, then the bottom right icon to continue
Press (X) or (UP) on the D-Pad depending on which is shown on the top screen
Select the second button along the top with a film-reel icon
Scroll right until reel "3/3" is selected
Tap the third box with the letter "A" in it
Scroll left until reel "1/3" is selected
Tap the fourth box with the letter "A" in it
If the exploit was successful, your device will have loaded b9sTool
Using the D-Pad, move to "Install boot9strap"
- If you miss this step, the system will exit to home menu instead of installing boot9strap and you will need to open DS Download Play and start over from the beginning of this section
Press (A), then press START and SELECT at the same time to begin the process
Once complete and the bottom screen says "done.", exit b9sTool, then power off your device
- You may have to force power off by holding the power button
- If your device shuts down when you try to power it on, ensure that you have copied boot.firm from the Luma3DS .zip to the root of your SD card
- If you see the Luma Configuration screen, press (Start) to reboot, then continue with the guide

Section IV - Luma3DS Verification

Power off your device
Insert your SD card into your computer
- The existence of these folders and files confirms that Luma3DS is installed
- If you do not see the luma folder or config.ini, follow this troubleshooting guide

At this point,your console will boot to Luma3DS by default.

Luma3DS does not look any different from the normal HOME Menu. If your console has booted into the HOME Menu, it is running custom firmware.
On the next page, you will install useful homebrew applications to complete your setup.

Section V - Restoring DS Download Play

Wait until you see the two buttons
