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

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. 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
