freakyhax (combined with universal-otherapp) is compatible with versions 1.0.0 through 11.7.0 on EUR, USA, or JPN region devices.

What You Need

  • A EUR/USA/JPN copy of Freakyforms Deluxe (eShop or cartridge)
  • The latest release of freakyhax
  • The latest release of SafeB9SInstaller
  • The latest release of boot9strap (`boot9strap-1.3.zip`; not the `devkit` file, not the `ntr` file)
  • The latest release of Luma3DS
  • The latest release of universal-otherapp

Instructions

Section I - Prep Work

  1. Power off your device
  2. Insert your SD card into your computer
  3. Copy all files and folders inside the /build/<your console and region>/exploit/ folder from the freakyhax `.zip` to the root of your SD card
  4. Copy `otherapp.bin` to the root of your SD card
  5. Copy `boot.firm` and `boot.3dsx` from the Luma3DS `.zip` to the root of your SD card
  6. Create a folder named `boot9strap` on the root of your SD card
  7. Copy `boot9strap.firm` and `boot9strap.firm.sha` from the boot9strap `.zip` to the `/boot9strap/` folder on your SD card
  8. Copy `SafeB9SInstaller.bin` from the SafeB9SInstaller `.zip` to the root of your SD card
  9. Reinsert your SD card into your device
  10. Power on your device

Section II - Launching SafeB9SInstaller

  1. Reinsert your SD card into your device
  2. Power on your device
  3. Launch Freakyforms Deluxe
  4. In the game menu, select `Play -> Camera -> Load a QR code`
  5. Select the QR code
  6. If the exploit was successful, you will have booted into SafeB9SInstaller

Section III - Installing boot9strap

  1. Wait for all checks to complete
  2. When prompted, input the key combo given on the top screen to install boot9strap
  3. Once it has completed, press (A) to reboot your device

Section IV - Configuring Luma3DS

  1. Your device should have rebooted into the Luma3DS configuration menu
    • If you get a black screen, [follow this troubleshooting guide](troubleshooting#black-screen-on-sysnand-boot-after-installing-boot9strap)
  2. Use the (A) button and the D-Pad to turn on the following:
    • "Show NAND or user string in System Settings"
  3. Press (Start) to save and reboot
    • If you get an error, just continue the next page

At this point, your console will boot to Luma3DS by default as long as the SD card is inserted.

  • 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 copy Luma3DS to internal memory so that you can boot without an SD card.
