This is a list of alternative methods to install custom firmware. These are often used if the main guide cannot be used for some reason. These guides either require older system versions, access to certain games or applications, or secondary devices which already have custom firmware.

== Homebrew Launcher access ==
Some custom firmware installation methods first require Homebrew Launcher access.

In order to exploit the SAFE_MODE firmware of our system, we need to inject an exploited WiFi profile.
===Requires a digital-only game===
These methods require a digital game from the eShop, which has since closed, making these unusable unless they were already purchased before. Past purchases can still be re-downloaded.

As we already have homebrew access, we can use slotTool to do this.
===Requires second console===
These methods require a second console with custom firmware already installed.


Once the WiFi profile has been injected, we will use SAFE_MODE, which is a recovery feature present on all 3DS consoles, to activate the exploited WiFi profile.
