See [[3DS:GodMode9/Usage#Restoring_a_NAND_backup|how to restore a NAND backup]] for more specific instructions. If you do not have a NAND backup, you will instead need [[3dsguide:CTRTransfer|a CTRTransfer]], [[3DS:CTRTransfer/Manual|a manual CTRTransfer]], or help from [https://discord.gg/C29hYvh the Nintendo Homebrew Discord], depending on how severe your issue is. If you have a copy of <code>essentials.exefs</code> backed up, then even in the worst-case scenario you will only need a manual CTRTransfer.

In cases where your system cannot normally install CFW, such as when important buttons other than {{B|START|SELECT|X|POWER}} are broken or the console has software issues that break parts of the system used in the exploits, ntrboot can still be used to install CFW.
