Latest revision as of 06:26, 10 April 2023

Required Reading

This method only works on versions 11.15.0 and below. This is because universal-otherapp was fixed in 11.16.0.

freakyhax (combined with universal-otherapp) is compatible with versions 1.0.0 through 11.15.0 on EUR, USA, or JPN region devices.

What You Need

A EUR/USA/JPN copy of Freakyforms Deluxe (eShop or cartridge)
The latest release of freakyhax
The latest release of SafeB9SInstaller
The latest release of boot9strap (boot9strap-1.4.zip; not the devkit file, not the ntr file)
The latest release of Luma3DS
The latest release of universal-otherapp

Instructions

Section I - Prep Work

Power off your device
Insert your SD card into your computer
Copy all files and folders inside the /build/<your console and region>/exploit/ folder from the freakyhax .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 otherapp.bin to the root of your SD card
Copy boot.firm and boot.3dsx from the Luma3DS .zip to the root of your SD card
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
Reinsert your SD card into your device
Power on your device

Section II - Launching SafeB9SInstaller

Reinsert your SD card into your device
Power on your device
Launch Freakyforms Deluxe
In the game menu, select Play -> Camera -> Load a QR code
Select the QR code
If the exploit was successful, you will have booted into SafeB9SInstaller

Section III - Installing boot9strap

Wait for all checks to complete
When prompted, input the key combo given on the top screen to install boot9strap
Once it has completed, 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 you get a black screen, follow this troubleshooting guide
Press (Start) to save and reboot
- If you get an error, just continue 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.
