<p>To install boot9strap on your console, we derive your console’s unique encryption key. To accomplish this, we use the Homebrew Launcher to launch nimhax and dump the data encryption key (movable.sed) from your console.</p>
<p>For a more technical explanation, see <ahref="https://github.com/luigoalma/nimhax/">here</a> for information about the nimhax exploit.</p>

<h3id="what-you-need">What You Need</h3>
<ul>
<li>The latest release of <ahref="https://github.com/luigoalma/nimhax/releases/latest">nimhax</a> (the nimhax <codeclass="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">.zip</code> file)</li>
</ul>
<h3id="instructions">Instructions</h3>
<h4id="section-i---prep-work">Section I - Prep Work</h4>
<ol>
<li>Power off your console</li>
<li>Insert your SD card into your computer</li>
<li>Copy the <codeclass="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">nimhax</code> folder from the nimhax <codeclass="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">.zip</code> to the <codeclass="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">/3ds/</code> folder on your SD card</li>
<h4id="section-ii---nimhax">Section II - nimhax</h4>
<ol>
<li>Open the Homebrew Launcher through your method of choice (likely the Internet Browser)</li>
<li>Launch nimhax from the list of homebrew</li>
<li>If the exploit was successful, a <codeclass="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">movable.sed</code> file will appear on the root of your SD card</li>
<p>Once you have your console’s encryption key (<codeclass="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">movable.sed</code>), you can use it in conjunction with Frogtool, which uses your <codeclass="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">movable.sed</code> file to inject and take advantage of JPN Flipnote Studio. <br/>
While this method is faster, it requires downloading a file with a torrent client. Do not follow this method if you’re unable to use a torrent client.</p>
