==Instructions==

===What You Need===

{{critical|Make absolute certain that the CTRTransfer image you use for this matches your console's '''original''' region. If you are at all unsure what your original region is, check your console's serial number against [[3dbrew:Serials|this page.]]}}

* A CTRTransfer image from [[3DS:CTRTransfer#What_You_Need|here]] that matches your model and region. This requires a torrent client such as [https://www.qbittorrent.org/download.php qBittorrent] or [https://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/Download Deluge].

* The [https://3ds.eiphax.tech/assets/manual_transfer.gm9 manual_transfer.gm9] script.

**(To download, right-click the link and select the option 'Save As', 'Save Target As', 'Save Link As', or similar.)

===Section I - Manual CTRTransfer===

# Power off the console, remove the SD card, and connect it to your computer

# If you do not already have [[3DS:GodMode9|GodMode9]] on your SD card, take the time to get it now

Line 24:

Line 28:

# Select this file, then select Execute Script

# Wait for the script to complete

===Section II - ~~Remove CTRTransfer Image~~===

===Section II - Delete system config savedata===

This section will reset your system configuration to its defaults. Installed games and their save data will not be affected. This is necessary to prevent known issues relating to extended memory mode and applets on some devices.

# Exit the script so that the <code>sd:/gm9/out</code> folder is visible

# Press {{B|X}} on the CTRTransfer <code>.bin</code> file to delete it

# Press {{B|A}} to confirm

# Press {{B|B}} a few times to go back to the main menu

# Navigate to <code>[1:] SYSNAND CTRNAND</code> -> <code>data</code> -> <code><ID0></code> -> <code>sysdata</code>

#* The <code><ID0</code></code> will be a folder with a 32 character length random-looking name. You may recognize this from Seedminer, if you used that method

# Use the D-Pad to highlight <ocde>00010017</code>

# Press {{B|R}}+{{B|A}} to bring up the folder options

# Select '''Copy to 0:/gm9/out'''

# Press {{B|A}} to continue

# While still highlighting <code>00010017</code>, press {{B|X}} to delete it

# Press {{B|A}} to confirm

# Press {{B|A}} to unlock '''SysNAND (lvl2) writing''', then input the key combo given

# Once the file has been deleted, press {{B|A}} to continue

# Press {{B|A}} to relock write permissions if prompted

# Press {{B|START}} to reboot your device

# Your device will load into the initial setup menu

#* This is expected behaviour. You have not lost any of your game data

# Complete the initial setup menu by following the prompts on your device's screen
