<p>In order to exploit the SAFE_MODE firmware of our system, we need to inject an exploited WiFi profile.</p>
<p>As we already have Homebrew access, we can use slotTool to do this.</p>
<p>Once the WiFi profile has been injected, we will use SAFE_MODE, which is a recovery feature present on all 3DS consoles, to activate the exploited WiFi profile.</p>
<p>For a more technical explanation, see <a href="https://github.com/zoogie/unSAFE_MODE/">here</a> for information about the unSAFE_MODE exploit.</p>
If your (Right/Left Shoulder), (D-Pad Up) or (A) buttons do not work, join [Nintendo Homebrew on Discord](https://discord.gg/MWxPgEp) and ask, in English, for help.

In this section, you will use Homebrew Launcher to launch slotTool, which will overwrite your Wi-Fi slots with hacked data. Then, you will copy the files needed to trigger the unSAFE_MODE exploit onto your device's SD card. Your Wi-Fi connection settings will be temporarily overwritten while the exploit is active.
In this section, you will enter Safe Mode (a feature available on all 3DS family devices) and navigate to a menu where unSAFE_MODE will be triggered, which will launch you into the boot9strap (custom firmware) installer.
1. With your device still powered off, hold the following buttons: (Left Shoulder) + (Right Shoulder) + (D-Pad Up) + (A), and while holding these buttons together, power on your device
+ If you're unable to get into Safe Mode after multiple attempts, one of your buttons may be failing or broken. If this is the case, join [Nintendo Homebrew on Discord](https://discord.gg/MWxPgEp) and ask, in English, for help.
In this section, you will enter the Homebrew Launcher (this time using custom firmware) so that you can restore the Wi-Fi connection slots that were overwritten in Section II.
