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

Revision as of 06:28, 10 April 2023

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

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 3ds on the root of your SD card, if it does not already exist
Copy uloader.3dsx to the /3ds/ folder on your SD card
Reinsert your SD card into your device
Power on your device

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.
