There are other 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, [[3dsguide:ntrboot|ntrboot]] will probably be less of a pain.

Because you can't enter a friend code due to the broken keyboard, you'll need to get your console's encryption key a different way. We can accomplish this by Mii mining.
Follow [[3DS:Seedminer/Mii mining|Mii mining]] to extract the <code>movable.sed</code> from your console, but do not continue onto the main guide as it suggests. Come back to this page once you have the movable.
==Section II: steelhax==
Now that you have your <code>movable.sed</code>, continue to [[3DS:Alternate Exploits/Homebrew Launcher (steelhax)|Homebrew Launcher (steelhax)]].

If everything went well, you should end up with boot9strap installed and the keyboard / System Settings should work again.
