#### Overview 'o steps

In 'tis section, we gunna be flashin' ye console's [CTRNAND](https://www.3dbrew.org/wiki/Flash_Filesystem#CTR_partition) partition to 2.1.0 in order to take advantage 'o an oversight in 2.1.0 fer th' purpose 'o extractin' th' [OTP](https://www.3dbrew.org/wiki/OTP_Registers) unique to ye console. 'Tis OTP file be required to install arm9loaderhax, 'n **cannot** be shared wit' other consoles.

'Tis be accomplished by [installin' a premade ctrtransfer image](https://www.reddit.com/r/3dshacks/comments/4zhe4a/) containin' 2.1.0, copyin' ye console-specific files (such as `moveable.sed` 'n `SecureInfo_A`) to it, then fixin' th' title databases.

#### What ye need

* Ye gunna need to have booted into Decrypt9
* Th' 2.1.0 ctrtransfer image fer ye device 'n region     
*(if your device is not from one of these regions, just pick one)*:
