The system transfer process is mostly the same as it would be done without homebrew, however you will need to use faketik at the end to restore any applications and games that did not come from the eShop.

If the target console does not already have CFW, follow this guide instead.

What You Need

  • The latest release of GodMode9 (the GodMode9 .zip file)
  • The latest release of faketik (the .3dsx file)

Instructions

Section I - Prep Work

  • For both consoles, perform the following steps:
    1. Power off your device
    2. Insert your SD card into your computer
    3. Copy GodMode9.firm from the GodMode9 .zip to the /luma/payloads/ folder on your SD card
    4. Copy the gm9 folder from the GodMode9 .zip to the root of your SD card
  • For the target console only, perform the following steps:
    1. Create a folder named 3ds on the root of your SD card if it does not already exist
    2. Copy FBI.3dsx to the /3ds/ folder on your SD card
  • Reinsert both SD cards into both devices

Section II - NAND Backup

Creating a NAND backup of both consoles is a good idea in case something goes wrong. It ensures you can recover your data in the event of an error.

  • For both consoles, perform the following steps:
    1. Press and hold Start, and while holding Start, power on your device. This will launch GodMode9
    2. Press Home to bring up the action menu
    3. Select "Scripts..."
    4. Select "GM9Megascript"
    5. Select "Backup Options"
    6. Select "SysNAND Backup"
    7. Press A to confirm
      • This process will take some time
      • If you get an error, make sure that you have at least 1.3GB of free spaec on your SD card
    8. Press A to continue
    9. Press B to return to the main menu
    10. Select "Exit"
    11. Press A to relock write permissions if prompted
    12. Hold R and press Start at while still holding R to power off your device

Section III - System Transfer

  1. Perform the system transfer as usual
    • If this is from an Old 3DS to a New 3DS, it is best to use "PC-Based Transfer", unless it is impossible to do. The wireless file transfer is very slow (taking about 2 hours to transfer 1GB)

Section IV - Homebrew Launcher

  1. Launch the Download Play application
  2. Wait until you see the Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo DS buttons
  3. Press (Left Shoulder) + (D-Pad Down) + (Select) at the same time to open the Rosalina menu
  4. Select "Miscellaneous options"
  5. Select "Switch the hb. title to the current app."
  6. Press B to continue
  7. Press B to return to the Rosalina main menu
  8. Press B to exit the Rosalina menu
  9. Press Home, then close Download Play
  10. Launch the Download Play application
  11. Your device should load the Homebrew Launcher

Section V - faketik

  1. Launch faketik from the list of homebrew
    • If you receive the error "The External Title Database is not available.", ensure that the correct SD card is inserted into the console
  2. Press Home, then close Download Play
