If you are between versions 11.0.0 and 11.2.0, you must follow this guide to downgrade your NATIVE_FIRM using DSiWare and a second 3DS which has already has a Custom Firmware installed on it in order to dump and restore your NAND.
2016-12-13 05:30:44 +01:00
{: .notice}
2016-10-30 01:02:14 +02:00
If you are below 11.2.0 on either device, then you should do the ctr-httpwn steps (when prompted) on each device under 11.2.0 to allow you to System Transfer with them.
{: .notice--info}
This takes advantage of an oversight which allows DSiWare titles to read and write anywhere in NAND.
{: .notice--info}
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 guide will assume the CFW 3DS is running arm9loaderhax and was setup with this guide, but will work (with slight modifications such as doing all SysNAND steps on EmuNAND) on systems running an EmuNAND. Note that the terms EmuNAND and RedNAND refer to slightly different implementations of [the same concept ](http://3dbrew.org/wiki/NAND_Redirection ).

You can skip everything related to **Steel Diver: Sub Wars** and steelhax if you already have a working primary entrypoint (e.g: OOT3dHax, FreakyHax) for **the target 3DS** , and use that instead.
{: .notice--info}

Your DSiWare's save will be backed up before getting replaced by the hacked save.

For whatever reason, the soft brick described in [9.2.0 Downgrade ](9.2.0-downgrade ) is only common with users that use the [slowhax method ](dsiware-downgrade-(save-injection )) of DSiWare Downgrade. As such, users of this page are not instructed to format their device.

{% capture notice-4 %}
This exploit requires you to [System Transfer ](http://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/13996/ ) from a CFW 3DS to a stock 3DS as part of the steps. System Transfers will work in the following directions *only* :
+ New 3DS -> New 3DS
+ Old 3DS or 2DS -> Old 3DS or 2DS
+ Old 3DS or 2DS -> New 3DS
{% endcapture %}
< div class = "notice--warning" > {{ notice-4 | markdownify }}< / div >
Both systems MUST be from the same region.
{: .notice--warning}
2016-11-07 23:56:59 +01:00
The source 3DS's NNID will be stuck on the target 3DS unless you either system transfer back or call Nintendo! (details in the instructions)
2016-10-30 01:02:14 +02:00
{: .notice--danger}
System Transfers can only be performed once a week.

#### What you need
* Two 3DS systems
2016-12-13 19:39:45 +01:00
+ **The source 3DS** : the 3DS running some kind of custom firmware (arm9loaderhax or some form of EmuNAND/RedNAND) *on the latest version*
2016-11-07 23:56:59 +01:00
+ **The target 3DS** : the 3DS on stock firmware *between 11.0.0 and 11.2.0*
2016-12-15 03:40:41 +01:00
* Purchase (or already own) and install a compatible DSiWare game from the eShop on **the source 3DS**
2016-12-07 06:40:11 +01:00
+ A pirated copy of the game will **not** work
2016-12-09 04:54:50 +01:00
+ For a list of compatible games, see the [DSiWare List ](dsiware-list ) page

2016-10-30 01:02:14 +02:00
+ Go to the last page of "Other Settings" and select "Format System Memory", then follow all instructions
5. Read the following:
2016-11-07 23:56:59 +01:00
+ Your CFW 3DS = the source 3DS = "Source System"
+ Your Stock 3DS = the target 3DS = "Target System"
2016-10-30 01:02:14 +02:00
+ **Move DSiWare titles if prompted!**
+ Do **NOT** delete the source system's SD card contents if prompted
+ Make sure neither device's battery dies during the transfer
2016-12-02 00:26:31 +01:00
+ 2DS/Old 3DS (source) to New 3DS (target) only - if asked which method you wish to use to transfer the SD card data:
2016-12-02 03:41:28 +01:00
+ **Do NOT** choose the "Low-Capacity microSD Card Transfer" or minimal option (option 2), it will only transfer tickets and likely will not transfer the DSiWare save.
2016-12-02 00:26:31 +01:00
+ Fast Method: If you have the ability to move the data from the SD card (source) to the microSD card (target), when prompted use the "PC-Based Transfer" option (option 3).
+ Slowest Method: If you don't have the ability to move the data on a PC use the **full** "Wireless Transfer" option (option 1).

+ Call Nintendo and tell them you no longer have access to the device that your NNID is linked to (which is **the target 3DS** in this case), and would like it linked to a different device (which is **the source 3DS** in this case)
2016-12-08 22:50:49 +01:00
+ You can also just [remove the NNID ](https://3ds.guide/troubleshooting#rm_nnid ) from **the source 3DS** if you'd prefer it remain on **the target 3DS**
