If you have already hacked your device before and have a EmuNAND based CFW setup, this guide deals exclusively with SysNAND and you should follow all instructions from within or applying to SysNAND. Note that the terms EmuNAND and RedNAND refer to slightly different implementations of [the same concept](http://3dbrew.org/wiki/NAND_Redirection).

#### Instructions

##### Section I - Prep Work

1. Power off your device
1. Insert your SD card into your computer

1. Create a folder named `boot9strap` on the root of your SD card
1. Copy `boot9strap.firm` and `boot9strap.firm.sha` from the boot9strap `.zip` to the `/boot9strap/` folder on your SD card

1. Reinsert your SD card into your device
1. Power on your device

##### Section II - Launching SafeB9SInstaller

1. Launch the browser and go to one of the following URLs on your device
  + `https://dukesrg.github.io/?SafeB9SInstaller.dat`
  + `http://go.gateway-3ds.com/`
  + `http://www.reboot.ms/3ds/load.html?Launcher.dat`
  + `http://dukesrg.dynu.net/3ds/rop?GW17567.dat&Launcher.dat`
  + Make sure to try each URL if the first one doesn't work (some versions cannot use the first one, and some versions cannot use the last three)
  + If you get an error, [follow this troubleshooting guide](troubleshooting#ts_browser)
1. If the exploit was successful, you will have booted into SafeB9SInstaller

##### Section III - Installing boot9strap

1. Wait for all safety checks to complete
1. When prompted, input the key combo given to install boot9strap
1. Once it has completed, press (A) to reboot your device
1. Your device will boot into boot9strap, then shutdown automatically because it does not yet have a payload to launch
  + Your device will not boot until you continue with the next page's instructions; do not panic, this is normal
