<p>To dump system DSiWare, we exploit a flaw in the DSiWare Data Management window of the Settings application.</p>
<p>To accomplish this, we use your system’s encryption key (movable.sed) to build a DSiWare backup that exploits the system to dump the DSi Internet Settings application to the SD root.</p>
<p>Once you have a DSiWare backup, an exploitable DSiWare title can be injected into DS Download Play, which can be used to install custom firmware.</p>
<pclass="notice--warning">These instructions are for Taiwanese consoles ONLY (as indicated by a T at the end of the system version, e.g. 11.16.0-39T)! If your console is from any other region, <ahref="bannerbomb3">choose the other method</a>.</p>
<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>
<li>The latest release of <ahref="https://github.com/zoogie/Frogminer/releases/latest">Frogminer_save</a> (<codeclass="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Frogminer_save.zip</code>)</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>
<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 console! Follow <ahref="checking-for-cfw">Checking for CFW</a> to upgrade your existing CFW.</p>
<li>Copy <codeclass="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">boot.firm</code> and <codeclass="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">boot.3dsx</code> from the Luma3DS <codeclass="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">.zip</code> to the root of your SD card
<ul>
<li>The root of the SD card refers to the initial directory on your SD card where you can see the Nintendo 3DS folder, but are not inside of it</li>
<li>Copy <codeclass="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">boot.nds</code> (B9STool) from the release <codeclass="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">.zip</code> to the root of your SD card</li>

<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>
<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>
<li>If you encounter an issue while doing this section, <ahref="troubleshooting#installing-boot9strap-fredtool">check this troubleshooting guide</a> for your issue</li>
<li>If you miss this step, the system will exit to HOME Menu instead of installing boot9strap and you will need to start over from the previous section</li>
<li>If your console 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>
