Instructions

Section I - Prep Work

Power off your device
Insert your SD card into your computer
Create a folder named boot9strap on the root of your SD card
Copy boot9strap.firm and boot9strap.firm.sha from the boot9strap .zip to the /boot9strap/ folder on your SD card
Copy SafeB9SInstaller.bin from the SafeB9SInstaller .zip to the root of your SD card
Create a folder named luma on the root of your SD card, if it does not already exist
Copy native.firm to the /luma/ folder on your SD card
Copy config.bin to the /luma/ folder on your SD card
Reinsert your SD card into your device

Section II - Launching SafeB9SInstaller

Power on your device
If the exploit was successful, you will have booted into SafeB9SInstaller

Section III - Installing boot9strap

When prompted, input the key combo given on the top screen to install boot9strap
Once it is complete, press (A) to reboot your device
Your device should have rebooted into the Luma3DS configuration menu
- Luma3DS configuration menu are settings for the Luma3DS custom firmware. Many of these settings may be useful for customization or debugging
- For the purpose of this guide, these settings will be left on default settings
- 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
Press (Start) to save and reboot
- If you get an error, just continue to the next page

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 IV - Removing files

Power off your device
Insert your SD card into your computer
Delete native.firm from the /luma/ folder on your SD card
Navigate to Nintendo 3DS -> <ID0> -> <ID1> -> Nintendo DSiWare on your SD card
Delete F00D43D5.bin from your Nintendo DSiWare folder and from your computer. This file will not be needed anymore

-This method applies to devices that were purchased from certain sellers on Amazon or AliExpress, usually "Ancient Moon Game Store". These devices come with a specially modified version of Luma3DS to hide all configuration and features. During attempts to set up homebrew, this causes problems, usually when attempting to run nimdsphax. This guide explains how to replace it with a standard boot9strap install. If you were sent this guide in the [https://discord.com/invite/MWxPgEp Nintendo Homebrew] Discord server with proper intent, do '''not''' follow any previous CFW installation method you were following (Skaterhax, SSLoth-Browser, etc.) and only remain on this guide.
