3DS:Movable Moveover/Manual: Difference between revisions

{{hatnote|This article is for transferring data between systems without doing a system transfer, and usually should only be done if the console you are transferring from is nonfunctional or the source console is not in your possession.<br>

If you do not have a specific reason to follow this guide (i.e. both consoles are usable), do [[3DS:System Transfer|a System Transfer]] instead.}}

This guide can potentially cause unexpected results if done wrong. Please ensure you read the steps carefully to prevent these unexpected results from happening.<br>

Additionally, ensure you have read the following warnings to have a full understanding of the potential risks of this guide.

{{critical|text=Do '''NOT''' use a <code>movable.sed</code> from Bruteforce Movable (in general, but especially not for this guide). Doing so may cause other issues with the system, and will result in a guaranteed brick if you uninstall CFW while using that movable. Always keep a backup of your original <code>movable.sed</code> if you do so.}}

{{warning|text=Uninstalling CFW without undoing the moveover done in this guide '''WILL''' brick your console, as we have tampered with console-unique files which can have dangerous effects if stock (native.firm) is booted.<br>

This guide has you extract the original versions of those files so you are able to undo it if you need to - ''do not lose those files.''}}

{{warning|text=Any games/savedata/themes/DSiWare that was already on the destination console's SD card will become inaccessible once the guide is completed - only data transferred over from the source console will be usable. To access the destination console's data again, you must undo the moveover.}}

{{info|If the above two warnings will cause issues for you and you are willing to take extra steps to avoid them, you can instead use [[ninfs]] to merge the source console's encrypted files onto the destination console, then [[3DS:Rebuild Title Database|rebuild title.db]] to make any merged games/apps appear.<br>

If you are confused in any way, join [https://discord.gg/C29hYvh the Nintendo Homebrew Discord] and ask for help in the 3DS assistance channels.

==What you need==

*Two 3DS consoles, both modded with Luma3DS CFW

*The '''source console's''' <code>essential.exefs</code>, such as the one created in [[3dsguide:finalizing-setup|our guide's Finalizing Setup]]

**If you already have the '''source console's''' <code>movable.sed</code> outside of a <code>.exefs</code> file, you can use that directly

*The latest version of [https://github.com/ihaveamac/faketik/releases/latest faketik] (the <code>.3dsx</code> file)

*The latest version of [https://github.com/d0k3/GodMode9/releases/latest GodMode9] (the GodMode9 <code>.zip</code> file)

#Copy the '''source console's''' <code>essential.exefs</code> to the root of your SD card and rename it to <code>old-essential.exefs</code>

===Backing up the destination console's <code>essential.exefs</code>===

{{warning|text=If you do not back up the destination console's essential.exefs before following the remainder of the guide, you will be unable to undo the moveover - which means that console '''will never be able to uninstall custom firmware.'''}}

#Press {{B|A}} on <code>essential.exefs</code> to select it

{{info|text=The destination console's original <code>essential.exefs</code> file will be in <code>/gm9/out</code> folder on its SD card. It is highly recommended to back up this file to a safe location.}}

#Press {{B|Y}} on <code>movable</code>, then proceed to the next section
