This page is for existing arm9loaderhax users to update their devices to boot9strap.
All future releases of Luma3DS will only be made in the `.firm` format, which will only be compatible with boot9strap and sighax. This means that to continue receiving the latest updates of Luma3DS, you should use this page to update your installation.
To use the [magnet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnet_URI_scheme) links on this page, you will need a torrent client like [Deluge](http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/Download)
If you have a PIN enabled on Luma3DS, SafeB9SInstaller will give you an "OTP Crypto Fail" error unless you temporarily disable your PIN (you can re-enable the PIN after the update).

There have been reports of a wave of bans being handed out to CFW users by Nintendo. To protect yourself, please do the following steps before starting this guide:
1. Go to System Settings, then "Internet Settings", then "SpotPass", then "Sending of System Information"
1. Disable the "Sending of System Information" option
1. Exit the System Settings
1. Go to your Friend's List (the Face Icon in the top row of your Home Menu)
+ If you receive an error and are kicked out of the menu, the Friend's List setting is already disabled
1. Go to the Friend's List settings, then "Friend Notification Settings", then "Show friends what you're playing"
1. Disable the "Show friends what you're playing" option
Note that the following required file named `secret_sector.bin` is the same one that was found in the various `data_input.zip` file versions. If you already have that file on your disk somewhere, you can use that one instead of downloading the one below.
{: .notice--info}
Note that, on New 3DS, `secret_sector.bin` is needed to revert the arm9loaderhax exploit, which is why it is not needed for the installation of boot9strap on a stock console. If you do not have a New 3DS, you do not need `secret_sector.bin`.

1. Press (Start) to save and reboot
##### Section IV - CTRNAND Luma3DS

You can now remove any arm9loaderhax related files from your SD card, such as `arm9loaderhax.bin` on the root of your SD card and the `aeskeydb.bin` file in the `files9` folder on your SD card.
Note that the `.bak` files in the `/boot9strap/` folder on your SD card are only needed in the event of a failed boot9strap install. Once you have installed successfully, you can delete the entire `boot9strap` folder.
This fork of Luma3DS Updater allows for boot9strap compatibility by downloading and extracting the latest Luma3DS `boot.firm` for you.
