This will completely remove CFW from your device, including Boot9Strap and Luma3DS, for the purpose of restoring the device to stock.
{: .notice--danger}

Any unsigned (illegitimate) games will be rendered unusable and can be manually removed using the Data Management section of the System Settings. Use a [save manager](https://github.com/J-D-K/JKSM/releases/latest) to backup any saves for these unsigned (illegitimate) games you care about.
{: .notice--info}

This will not affect your NNID, any legitimately purchased games, or any saves for those legitimately purchased games.

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.
