=== Section III - System Transfer ===

~~{{Section WIP|notes=Steps if someone could not use~~ "PC-Based Transfer"}}

# Perform the system transfer as usual. If at all possible, choose a "PC-Based Transfer".

#* If you cannot follow a PC-Based Transfer and must instead use a Wireless Transfer, be aware that with this method, homebrew software, cartridge dumps, and any other data only obtainable with CFW will not be transferred over.<br>If you choose a Wireless Transfer anyway, you will need to take extra steps to move over the lost data. '''Select "Do not delete" during the transfer to preserve all data on the source system, or else you will have to reobtain all lost data again by hand.'''

~~# Perform the system transfer as usual.~~

#* It is recommended to use "PC-Based Transfer" if possible, especially if transferring from an Old 3DS to a New 3DS. The "Wireless Transfer" option is very slow (taking up to 2 hours to transfer 1GB depending on conditions - an Old 3DS to New 3DS will always be on the slower end)

=== Next Steps - Branching of the Way ===

Were you able to perform a '''PC-Based Transfer''' in Section III?

== After the setup ==

After CFW is installed, place [[3DS:faketik|'''faketik''']] on the console's SD card. After this, once you finish Section IV of [[3dsguide:finalizing-setup|Finalizing Setup]], run '''faketik''' before opening FBI. This will restore all homebrew applications that disappeared after the transfer.

~~You will want~~ to use ~~[[3DS:faketik|'''faketik''']] to restore homebrew applications that disappear after the transfer. You should do this after "Finalizing Setup"~~.

{{success|image=none|text='''Continue to [[3dsguide:installing-boot9strap-(usm)|Installing boot9strap (USM)]], but return here immediately after finishing that page'''}}

If you were not able to perform a PC-Based Transfer, you will want to manually restore all the homebrew data <u>after CFW is installed but before following Finalizing Setup</u>.<br>

To do this, do the following:

# Copy all folders other than <code>Nintendo 3DS</code> and <code>DCIM</code> from the '''source console's''' SD card onto the '''target console's''' SD card.

# Insert the '''source console's''' SD card into your PC, mount its <code>Nintendo 3DS</code> folder using [[ninfs]], and copy out all games/savedata that was not transferred onto the '''target console'''.

# Unmount the '''source console''', mount the '''target console''' in ninfs, and copy all obtained games/savedata into the '''target console's''' <code>Nintendo 3DS</code> folder.

# [[3DS:Rebuild Title Database|Rebuild title.db]] on the '''target console''' to force all the new games/savedata to appear.
