<p>This method of using Seedminer for further exploitation uses your <codeclass="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">movable.sed</code> file to decrypt any DSiWare title for the purposes of injecting an exploitable DSiWare title into the DS Internet Settings application.</p>
<p>This is a currently working implementation of the “FIRM partitions known-plaintext” exploit detailed <ahref="https://www.3dbrew.org/wiki/3DS_System_Flaws">here</a>.</p>
<pclass="notice--warning">You should only be able to get to this page if you are running version 11.16.0. If you are on any firmware other than 11.17.0 or 11.16.0, STOP as these instructions WILL LEAD TO A BRICK on other firmwares!!</p>
<li><strong>11.16.0 or 11.17.0 users</strong>: The v6.1.1 release of <ahref="https://github.com/zoogie/b9sTool/releases/download/v6.1.1/release_6.1.1.zip">b9sTool</a> (direct download)</li>
<li>The latest release of <ahref="https://github.com/LumaTeam/Luma3DS/releases/latest">Luma3DS</a> (the Luma3DS <codeclass="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">.zip</code> file)</li>
</ul>
<h4id="section-i---cfw-check">Section I - CFW Check</h4>
<p>As an additional safety measure, we will perform an additional check for custom firmware. This is because using this method when custom firmware is already installed has a risk of bricking the console (rendering it unusable without recovery methods like <ahref="ntrboot">ntrboot</a>).</p>
<ol>
<li>Power off your device</li>
<li>Hold the (Select) button</li>
<li>Power on your device while still holding the (Select) button</li>
<li>If the check was successful, you will boot to the HOME Menu and you may proceed with this guide</li>
<li>Power off your device</li>
</ol>
<pclass="notice--danger">If you see a configuration menu or the console immediately powers off, you already have CFW, and continuing with these instructions may BRICK your device! Follow <ahref="checking-for-cfw">Checking for CFW</a> to upgrade your existing CFW.</p>
<h4id="section-ii---bannerbomb3">Section II - BannerBomb3</h4>

<pclass="notice--info">If you would prefer a visual guide to this section, one is available <ahref="https://zoogie.github.io/web/flipnote_directions/">here</a>.</p>
<p>In this section, you will perform a series of very specific steps within Flipnote Studio that, when performed correctly, will launch b9sTool, the boot9strap (custom firmware) installer.</p>
<li>If you encounter an issue while doing this section, <ahref="troubleshooting#installing-boot9strap-fredtool">check this troubleshooting guide</a> for your issue</li>

<ul>
<li>If you miss this step, the system will exit to HOME Menu instead of installing boot9strap and you will need to open Nintendo DS Connections and start over from the beginning of this section</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Press (A), then press START and SELECT at the same time to begin the process</li>
<li>Once completed and the bottom screen says “done.”, exit b9sTool, then power off your device
<ul>
<li>You may have to force power off by holding the power button</li>
<li>If your device shuts down when you try to power it on, ensure that you have copied <codeclass="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">boot.firm</code> from the Luma3DS <codeclass="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">.zip</code> to the root of your SD card</li>
