3DS:CTRTransfer/Manual: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 22:44, 22 January 2023

A manual CTRTransfer is an advanced version of the CTRTransfer used to restore more parts of the system software. It uses the same CTRTransfer images as the regular version, and said images can be found on the CTRTransfer page.

This is an advanced process that should only be used when all other options are exhausted.
It can be destructive if done incorrectly, so use caution.
If you run into any issues or do not understand something, join the Nintendo Homebrew Discord and ask, in English, for help.

Instructions

What You Need

A CTRTransfer image from 3DS:CTRTransfer matching your model and region. This requires a torrent client such as Qbittorrent or Deluge.
The manual_transfer.gm9 script.

Section I - Manual CTRTransfer

Power off the console, remove the SD card, and connect it to your computer
If you do not already have GodMode9 on your SD card, take the time to get it now
Once the CTRTransfer image is downloaded, place the CTRTransfer .bin and .bin.sha files in sd:/gm9/out
Copy the manual_transfer.gm9 file you downloaded into sd:/gm9/out on your SD card
Put your SD card back in your console
Power the console on while holding START
You should boot into GodMode9. Once you do, locate [S:] SYSNAND VIRTUAL and select it with A
Locate essential.exefs. Select it with A, then select Copy to 0:/gm9/out
Once this is done, go back to the GodMode9 main window, then locate [0:] SDCARD and select it with A
Locate the manual_transfer.gm9 file you put in sd:/gm9/out
Select this file, then select Execute Script
Wait for the script to complete

Section II - Remove CTRTransfer Image
