3DS:System Transfer/Target has CFW: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 07:24, 14 June 2022

The system transfer process is mostly the same as it would be done without homebrew, however you will need to use faketik at the end to restore any applications and games that did not come from the eShop.

If the target console does not already have CFW, follow this guide instead.

What You Need

The latest release of GodMode9 (the GodMode9 .zip file)
The latest release of faketik (the .3dsx file)

Instructions

Section I - Prep Work

Creating a NAND backup of both consoles is a good idea in case something goes wrong. It ensures you can recover your data in the event of an error.

For both consoles, perform the following steps:
1. Power off your device
2. Insert your SD card into your computer
3. Copy GodMode9.firm from the GodMode9 .zip to the /luma/payloads/ folder on your SD card
4. Copy the gm9 folder from the GodMode9 .zip to the root of your SD card
For the target console only, perform the following steps:
1. Create a folder named 3ds on the root of your SD card if it does not already exist
2. Copy FBI.3dsx to the /3ds/ folder on your SD card
Reinsert both SD cards into both devices

Section II - NAND Backup

Section III - System Transfer

Perform the system transfer as usual
- If this is from an Old 3DS to a New 3DS, it is best to use "PC-Based Transfer", unless it is impossible to do. The wireless file transfer is very slow (taking about 2 hours to transfer 1GB)

The source console is finished. The following steps can be performed on the target console only.

Section IV - Homebrew Launcher

Launch the Download Play application
Wait until you see the Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo DS buttons
Press (Left Shoulder) + (D-Pad Down) + (Select) at the same time to open the Rosalina menu
Select "Miscellaneous options"
Select "Switch the hb. title to the current app."
Press (B) to continue
Press (B) to return to the Rosalina main menu
Press (B) to exit the Rosalina menu
Press (Home), then close Download Play
Launch the Download Play application
Your device should load the Homebrew Launcher

Section V - faketik

Launch faketik from the list of homebrew
- If you receive the error "The External Title Database is not available.", ensure that the correct SD card is inserted into the console
Press (Home), then close Download Play

The transfer is complete! Note that you may have to unwrap all the icons that were restored by faketik.
