### Required Reading

This method of using Seedminer for further exploitation uses your `movable.sed` file to decrypt any DSiWare title for the purposes of injecting an exploitable DSiWare title into the DS Internet Settings application. This requires you to have a DSiWare backup, for example from BannerBomb or the DSiWare Dumper tool.

This is a currently working implementation of the "FIRM partitions known-plaintext" exploit detailed [here](https://www.3dbrew.org/wiki/3DS_System_Flaws).

### What You Need

* A DSiWare Backup (such as the one on SD root from [BannerBomb3](bannerbomb3))
* Your `movable.sed` file from completing [Seedminer](seedminer)
* The latest release of [Frogminer_save](https://github.com/zoogie/Frogminer/releases/latest)
* The latest release of [b9sTool](https://github.com/zoogie/b9sTool/releases/latest)
* The latest release of [Luma3DS](https://github.com/LumaTeam/Luma3DS/releases/latest)

1. Power off your device
1. Hold the (Select) button
1. Power on your device while still holding the (Select) button

1. If the exploit was successful, your device will have loaded b9sTool
1. Using the D-Pad, move to "Install boot9strap"
