=== Section IV - Homebrew File Recovery ===

This section will have you manually copy all homebrew files onto the '''target console''', as wireless transfers actively refuse them.

# On the '''target console''', note all apps that should have appeared but are missing

# Insert the '''source console's''' SD card into your PC, and copy the homebrew data off of it and onto your PC

#*Everything except the <code>Nintendo 3DS</code> and <code>DCIM</code> folders is considered homebrew data

# Take out the '''source console's''' SD card but leave it out of its console, and insert the '''target console's''' SD card into your PC

# Move all of the files you copied off of the '''source console's''' SD card onto the '''target console's''' SD card

# Reinsert the '''target console's''' SD card into its console

# Redo [[3dsguide:finalizing-setup|Finalizing Setup]] on the '''target console'''. This will ensure you have backups available in case the next section goes wrong

=== Section V - Homebrew App Recovery ===

{{Section WIP|notes=Provide more detailed instructions on how to use ninfs.}}

This section will restore all games/savedata that the wireless transfer refused to copy.

# Insert the '''source console's''' SD card into your PC and mount its <code>Nintendo 3DS</code> folder using [[ninfs]]

# Copy all games/savedata that were not transferred onto the '''target console''' onto somewhere on your PC

# Unmount the '''source console's''' <code>Nintendo 3DS</code> folder and reinsert its SD card into its console, then insert the '''target console's''' SD card into your PC

# Mount the '''target console's''' <code>Nintendo 3DS</code> folder in ninfs, and add all obtained games/savedata into the existing contents

# Unmount the <code>Nintendo 3DS</code> folder, but keep the '''target console's''' SD card inserted - [[3DS:Rebuild Title Database|rebuild title.db]] to force all the new apps to appear

# Reinsert the '''target console's''' SD card into its console
