## <a name="gw_fbi" />Cannot inject H&S on Gateway downgraded device
This is caused by Gateway implementing a very shoddy downgrade method, which leaves two versions of each app on the system. One of them is unused, but it confuses the H&S inject system, causing it to inject into the wrong one.
Note that, on some versions of Luma3DS, the Luma3DS chainloader menu is only displayed if there is more than one payload detected. If there is only one payload detected, holding (Start) on boot will directly launch GodMode9.
{: .notice--info}
1. Boot your device while holding (Start) to launch the Luma3DS chainloader menu
1. Launch GodMode9 by pressing (A)
1. Navigate to `[1:] SYSNAND CTRNAND` -> `title` -> `00040010`

1. Press (Y) to copy the files
1. Navigate to `newdir`
1. Press (Y) to paste the files
1. Select "Move path(s)"
1. The uppercase extension files will have been moved to the `newdir` directory
1. Press (Start) to reboot your device
1. Return to [Finalizing Setup](finalizing-setup) and retry the FBI injection
1. If this still doesn't work, move the uppercase extension files back to the `content` folder, then move the lowercase extension files to the `newdir` folder, then return to [Finalizing Setup](finalizing-setup) and retry the FBI injection
## <a name="ts_browser" />A browser based exploit is not working
