| There are multiple ways to reinstall custom firmware on such a console, but they may require additional hardware. This guide aims to reinstall custom firmware without any additional hardware, but if you have the means, the following methods are probably going to be less of a pain:
| | ==Methods that require additional hardware== |
| * If you have a second 3DS and a digital or physical copy of Mario Kart 7, the [[3dsguide:installing-boot9strap-(kartdlphax)|kartdlphax]] method should work as normal. | | The following methods require extra hardware but is the recommended way of recovering from this as they should work 100% of the time regardless of system version: |
| * If you have a compatible DS flashcart, the [[3dsguide:ntrboot|ntrboot]] method will always work.
| | *[[3dsguide:ntrboot|ntrboot]] (Requires a compatible flashcard) |
| | *[[3DS:Alternate Exploits/Preparing menuhax67 (kartdlphax)|kartdlphax]] (Requires a second console and a copy of Mario Kart 7, both the same region as your console) |
| | *[[3DS:Alternate Exploits/3dsropxploitinjector (basehaxx)|basehaxx]] (Requires a second console and a copy of Pokémon Omega Ruby or Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, on cartridge.) |

| #* When given the option, you should add Python to PATH. You may need to restart your computer.
| |
| # Download and extract the [http://github.com/zoogie/seedminer/releases/latest latest release of Seedminer].
| |
| # Open a Command Prompt / Terminal window and <code>cd</code> to where you extracted Seedminer.
| |
| #* For example, if everything is in a <code>seedminer</code> folder on your desktop and you're currently at <code>C:\Users\OPERATIONiDROID</code>, you'll want to run <code>cd Desktop/seedminer</code>.
| |
| # Run the command <code>py -3 seedminer_launcher3.py mii <device model> <year of manufacturing></code>.
| |
| #* If you don't know the year of manufacturing, just guess. It just might go faster if you guess correctly.
| |
| # Sit back and relax. This could take several hours, depending on the power of your graphics card.
| |
| #* If you get to offset 2500-ish, you may have entered the wrong device model (or you system transferred at some point, which messes this up). Try again with the other device model.
| |
| # Once the program is done, run <code>py -3 seedminer_launcher3.py id0 <your id0></code>.
| |
| # Run the command <code>py -3 seedminer_launcher3.py gpu</code>.
| |
| # Wait a bit. This shouldn't take any longer than 10 minutes on a decent GPU.
| |
| #* If you get to offset 100, you might have an unminable seed or you may have provided the wrong ID0. It would suck if you had an unminable seed so let's just hope it's not that.

| # If the stars aligned, you should get a <code>movable.sed</code>!
