   • http://2xrsa.hacks.guide
   • If you are on a New 3DS, New 2DS, or Old 2DS and Wireless Communication is off, you can re-enable the wireless by removing the battery and unplugging the charger for several seconds then booting back up
   • If you get the error "This service is not available in your region", use the System Settings to set your device's country to match the region of the system firmware
   • If you cannot access wireless settings, note that the device will automatically connect to any network named attwifi with no password
   • If you get another error, [[3dsguide:troubleshooting#a-browser-based-exploit-is-not-working]|follow this troubleshooting guide]]
2. If the exploit was successful, you will have booted into SafeB9SInstaller

Section III - Installing boot9strap

1. When prompted, input the key combo given on the top screen to install boot9strap
2. Once it is complete, press (A) to reboot your device
3. Your device should have rebooted into the Luma3DS configuration menu

At this point, your console will boot to Luma3DS by default.

• Luma3DS does not look any different from the normal HOME Menu. If your console has booted into the HOME Menu, it is running custom firmware.
• On the next page, you will install useful homebrew applications to complete your setup.
