**If you are on 11.0.0 or 11.1.0, do NOT update to 11.2.0. A new update will be coming soon that allows for DSiWare NFIRM Downgrading _without_ a second 3DS or hardmod for versions under 11.2.0.**

The version of autofirm used in this guide was modified from [Reboot.ms ](https://www.reboot.ms/forum/threads/2403/ )'s autofirm which was modified from '[Raugo](https://gbatemp.net/members/356694/)'s original autofirm ([with permission](http://archive.is/KOrWp)).

An excellent guide to getting a hardmod can be found [here ](https://gbatemp.net/threads/414498/ ). If you are on a New 3DS, read [this ](https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/issues/681 ) before hardmodding.

This is a currently working implementation of the "FIRM partitions known-plaintext" exploit detailed [here ](https://www.3dbrew.org/wiki/3DS_System_Flaws ).
{: .notice--info}
This will work on New 3DS, Old 3DS, and 2DS.

#### Instructions_
##### Section I - NAND modification
2016-12-09 06:15:32 +01:00
1. Extract the autofirm `.zip` to a folder called `autofirm`
2016-10-30 01:02:14 +02:00
2. Place a copy of your NAND backup (named `nand.bin` ) in `/autofirm/` folder
2016-12-09 06:15:32 +01:00
3. Copy the contents of the NFIRM `.zip` to the `/autofirm/source/firmwares/` folder
2016-10-30 01:02:14 +02:00
4. Run `autofirm.bat` and select which device and version the NAND backup is for
5. Wait while the script runs
6. If everything worked, then your original NAND will have been renamed to `backup_nand.bin` and you will have a modified `nand.bin` containing the 10.4.0 NATIVE_FIRM
7. Flash this `nand.bin` to your device with your hardmod
##### Section II - Exploit verification
2016-12-09 06:15:32 +01:00
1. Copy and merge the `3ds` folder from the 3DSident `.zip` to your device's SD card
2016-10-30 01:02:14 +02:00
2. Reinsert your SD card into your 3DS
3. Use [Homebrew Launcher (No Browser) ](homebrew-launcher-(no-browser )) to launch the homebrew launcher on the device
4. Launch 3DSident
5. Verify that the following:
+ **Kernel version** : 2.50-11
+ **FIRM version** : 2.50-11
+ If either of these do not display the versions above, something has gone wrong and you should try again from the beginning
Your version number will *not* have changed in the settings.
{: .notice--info}
