'''ntrboot''' is a hardware exploit for the 3DS that relies on a DS [[3DS:Flashcarts|flashcart]] with a version of boot9strap flashed to it to boot a <code>.firm</code> payload named <code>boot.firm</code>from its attached SD. It is compatible with all console types & system versions and has very few requirements besides the flashcart, making it the best (and occasionally, only) option for cases where multiple parts of your system such as shoulder buttons, DSiWare Management, or DS mode are broken or you need to recover from a brick.

===Issues ntrboot cannot solve===

ntrboot is not capable of fixing hardware issues or a locked NAND - ~~however, a locked NAND specifically has only been known to occur with~~ Gateway-3DS flashcarts ~~& [[https://www.gamebrew.org/wiki/3DSafe_3DS 3Dsafe~~]] ~~(neither of~~ which should be used anymore), ~~and can be fixed~~ with a ~~hardmod and~~ NAND ~~backup like one [[3dsguide:installing-boot9strap-(hardmod)~~|~~linked to on a page on our guide~~.]]

ntrboot is not capable of fixing hardware issues.

It was also formerly incapable of fixing a password-locked NAND (an issue caused by [[3DS:Flashcarts#Gateway-3DS|Gateway-3DS flashcarts]], which should not be used anymore) - however, new developments have created a method to fix this issue via ntrboot. For help with a locked NAND, {{ml|Get support|join the Nintendo Homebrew Discord}} and ask, in English, for help.

===Dev consoles===

The normal guide for ntrboot does not work on developer consoles, and a specialized guide is required to install CFW for them - a working guide existed at [[https://panda.hacks.guide panda.hacks.guide]], but has ~~since~~ been closed off due to a lack of people capable of maintaining it.
