+#*You may see [[3ds-guide:images/screenshots/mset9/mii-extdata.png|this screen]], which indicates the necessary data has been created

+{{Warning|Text=These instructions must be followed '''EXACTLY''', so double-check EVERYTHING you are doing to avoid errors!}}
+#Power on your console, ensuring System Settings is selected
+#*If System Settings is not selected, [[3ds-guide:images/screenshots/mset9/hover-settings.png|hover over]] the System Settings icon using the D-Pad, power your console off, then back on
+#Press {{B|A}} to launch System Settings
+#Navigate to <code>Data Management</code> -> <code>Nintendo 3DS</code> -> <code>Extra Data</code> ([[3ds-guide:images/screenshots/mset9/settings-extdata.png|image]])
+#'''Do not press any buttons or touch the screen'''
+#'''With the console STILL ON, and without pressing any buttons or touching the screen,''' remove your SD card from your console
+#*The menu will refresh and say that no SD card is inserted
+#Insert your SD card into your Chromebook
+#Select your SD card on the sidebar on the left in the Files application
+#In the DevTools Console window, type <code>restart</code> and press Enter to run the MSET9-ChromeOS script
+#*If you closed the Files window or the DevTools Console window, this will not work

+#Type the characters corresponding to your console model and version, then press Enter
+#In the DevTools Console window, type <code>c</code>, then press Enter to inject MSET9
+#*You should see "MSET9 successfully injected!"
+#Eject the SD card from the Chromebook, either by typing <code>eject</code> into the DevTools Console or by selecting the eject icon in the Files app
+#Reinsert your SD card into your console '''without pressing any buttons or touching the screen'''
+#If the exploit was successful, you will have booted into SafeB9SInstaller
+===Section III - Installing boot9strap===
+In this section, you will install custom firmware onto your console.
+#When prompted, input the key combo given on the top screen to install boot9strap
+#*If a step on the lower screen has red-colored text, and you are not prompted to input a key combo, [[3ds-guide:troubleshooting-mset9.html|follow this troubleshooting guide]]
+#Once it is complete, press {{B|A}} to reboot your console
+#Your device should have rebooted into the Luma3DS configuration menu
+#*Luma3DS configuration menu are settings for the Luma3DS custom firmware. Many of these settings may be useful for customization or debugging
+#*For the purpose of this guide, these settings will be left on default settings
+#*If your device shuts down when you try to power it on, ensure that you have copied <code>boot.firm</code> from the MSET9 <code>.zip</code> to the root of your SD card
+#Press (Start) to save and reboot
+===Section IV - Removing MSET9===
+In this section, you will remove MSET9 to prevent further issues and to restore your user data (games, themes, etc). (This will not remove the custom firmware that you have just installed.)
+{{Warning|text=Do NOT skip this section! If you skip it, applications may crash unexpectedly and you will encounter errors on the next page!}}
+#Power off your console
+#Insert your SD card into your Chromebook
+#Select your SD card on the sidebar on the left in the Files application
+#In the DevTools Console window, type <code>restart</code> and press Enter to run the MSET9-ChromeOS script
+#*If you closed the Files window or the DevTools Console window, this will not work
+#*Instead, you should redo Section I Steps 3 through 8
+#Type the characters corresponding to your console model and version, then press Enter
+#*The current state should display <code>Injected</code>
+#*If you have already removed the trigger file (or never injected in the first place), the current state will show <code>Ready</code>, skip to Step 6
+#Type <code>d</code>, then press Enter to remove the trigger file
+#*You should see "Removed trigger file."
+#Type <code>e</code>, then press Enter to remove MSET9
+#*You should see "Successfully removed MSET9!"
+{{Info|text=You can '''now''' close the DevTools Console window and the Files application.}}
+At this point, your console will boot to Luma3DS by default.
+*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 install useful homebrew applications to complete your setup.
