3DS:Is it safe to update?: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 04:47, 27 May 2023

The current firmware version is 11.17.0-50.

Before the console can be updated, make sure Luma3DS is on the most recent version. To check its version, hold Select while turning on the console.

If your Luma3DS version is...	Then...
10.2.1 and newer	You can update to 11.17.0 without problems.
8.0 - 10.2	You must first update following the Restoring / Updating CFW guide. Otherwise an error screen will appear.
7.1	boot9strap must be updated first, or newer versions of Luma3DS will not work. Follow the guide at Updating B9S.
7.0.5 and older	Your console must first be upgraded from arm9loaderhax to boot9strap. Follow the guide at A9LH to B9S.

There is currently no free exploit for Old 3DS consoles.

New 3DS EUR/JPN consoles can use super-skaterhax. New 3DS USA consoles must wait for the otherapp payload to be updated.

Other exploits are available at 3DS:Alternate Exploits. Most of these depend on having certain games or a second console with custom firmware.

Any console on any version can be hacked with ntrboot, but this requires a compatible DS flashcart.

-=== If an update happens on an old version ===
+== If the console does not yet have CFW ==
-The worst that may happen if you update the system software without running a compatible version of Luma3DS is that the console may turn on to an error screen. This usually means that it could not patch the new firmware. The fix for this is to manually replace <code>boot.firm</code> on the SD card with a newer version of Luma3DS. See [[3dsguide:restoring-updating-cfw|Restoring / Updating CFW]] on 3DS Hacks Guide for more information.
