FAQ

Is setting up CFW first really required?

Strictly speaking it is not. In this case any software that was not purchased and downloaded from Nintendo eShop will be invisible and not fixable until CFW is installed.

Since it is more convenient and sometimes easier to set up custom firmware on a freshly-formatted console, it is recommended to set it up first.

Is there a workaround for the 7-day cooldown?

No, this is enforced server-side.
