This is because Nintendo is more reluctant to update Safe Mode to patch exploits (since an unmodded 3DS would have no way to fix a brick by doing a system update if SAFE_FIRM were also bricked). | ||

Because Safe Mode is in a unique partition of the 3DS' firmware (SAFE_FIRM), it can fix crashes on boot that are caused by corrupted/deleted system titles or extremely outdated firmware, as only NATIVE_FIRM is affected by these. The best way to avoid bricks is to keep custom firmware installed, however, and most crashes not in the above list will require access to GodMode9 to fix - if you have an issue that disables access to GodMode9, you will most likely need [[3DS:ntrboot|a flashcart compatible with ntrboot]] to fix the issue. | Because Safe Mode is in a unique partition of the 3DS' firmware (SAFE_FIRM), it can fix crashes on boot that are caused by corrupted/deleted system titles or extremely outdated firmware, as only NATIVE_FIRM is affected by these.
