### Required Reading
|
||||
Before starting this guide, we will see if custom firmware is already installed and check the current system version of your device.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have hacked your 3DS in the past, or you purchased your 3DS second-hand, it is possible that your console already has custom firmware. You should [check for CFW](checking-for-cfw) before proceeding.
|
||||
#### Section I - CFW Check
|
||||
|
||||
1. Power off your device
|
||||
1. Hold the (Select) button
|
||||
1. Power on your device while still holding the (Select) button
|
||||
1. If you do not see an unusual menu (e.g. "Luma3DS Configuration"), you may proceed to the next section
|
||||
|
||||
If you see an unusual menu, STOP - you already have custom firmware! Continue from [here](checking-for-cfw#what-to-do-next).
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
Select the appropriate page for your version from the chart below. Note that the "from" and "to" fields are inclusive.
|
||||
#### Section II - System Version Check
|
||||
|
||||
Your device version can be found at the bottom right of the top screen of the System Settings.
|
||||
1. Open the System Settings application
|
||||
1. Your system version will be displayed on the bottom right of the top screen (e.g. "Ver. 11.15.0-47U")
|
||||
|
||||
![]({{ "/images/screenshots/system-version.png" | absolute_url }})
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
#### Section III - Select a Method
|
||||
|
||||
Before starting, you may want to check your SD card for errors using [H2testw (Windows)](h2testw-(windows)), [F3 (Linux)](f3-(linux)), or [F3XSwift (Mac)](f3xswift-(mac))!

||||

||||
|
||||
While we believe that custom firmware is safe for online use, there have been online network bans in the past, primarily for cheating and suspicious eShop behavior.

||||
### Version Table
|
||||
|
||||
The letter and number after the system version (for example, 11.15.0-**47U**) is not relevant in this version table.
|
||||
Use the version table below to select a method. A few things to note:
|
||||
+ The version table below is *inclusive*. For example, "from 11.4.0 to 11.14.0" includes 11.4.0, 11.14.0, and all versions in between.
|
||||
+ Software versions do not work the same as decimals. Versions 11.10.0 and above are newer than 11.3.0, and are therefore not compatible with Soundhax.
|
||||
+ The number and letter after the system version are not important.

Popular uses for custom firmware include:

|

* Running homebrew software and games made for or ported to the Nintendo 3DS
|

* Bypassing the region lock, allowing you to play games from other regions
|

* Home menu customization, using community-created [themes and badges](https://themeplaza.art)

## What does this guide install?
|
||||
|
||||
This guide will install **boot9strap + Luma3DS custom firmware** on **unmodified/stock** 3DS/2DS devices. If you have installed custom firmware in the past, you should follow [these instructions](checking-for-cfw) to find the correct upgrade path for your console. A modern, boot9strap/Luma3DS-based setup is preferred over older setups (arm9loaderhax, menuhax) because it is more stable for modern homebrew and continues to be supported by the community.
|
||||
This guide will:
|
||||
+ Install **boot9strap** and **Luma3DS custom firmware** on unmodified retail 3DS/2DS devices
|
||||
+ Luma3DS will automatically remove the region lock and allow you to run unsigned software
|
||||
+ Install various pieces of homebrew software, such as a package installer, save file manager, and a homebrew app store
|
||||
+ Make critical system file backups that can help avoid bricks (and recover data in the event of one)
|
||||
|
||||
## What do I need to know before starting?
|
||||
|
||||
* While the risks of bricking have been minimized over the years, **we are not responsible for anything that goes wrong with your device**. Incorrect file placement will not brick your device, but reckless behavior might.
|
||||
* This guide will work on every retail device in the Nintendo 3DS family of consoles (including the New 3DS series and the 2DS), regardless of region or firmware.
|
||||
* This guide is compatible with every retail device in the Nintendo 3DS family of consoles (including the New 3DS series and the 2DS), regardless of region or firmware.
|
||||
* Following this guide alone should not result in data loss, but SD card corruption is always a possibility. You should make a backup of your SD card contents if you have important data.
|
||||
* You will need a working SD card in your 3DS, as well as the ability to write files to the SD card. The 3DS can read SD cards formatted as MBR/FAT32.
|
||||
+ You may want to check your SD card for errors using [H2testw (Windows)](h2testw-(windows)), [F3 (Linux)](f3-(linux)), or [F3XSwift (Mac)](f3xswift-(mac)).
