This is add-on section for region changing your arm9loaderhax CFW SysNAND. This is done by installing the 9.2.0 ctrtransfer image for the region you want to switch to and modifying your SecureInfo_A file.
{: .notice--primary}

**Region changing is almost completely unnecessary since Luma3DS supports out of region games and individual [title region emulation](https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/wiki/Options-and-usage).**
{: .notice--info}

This process will unlink your NNID from the system, since it will no longer be compatible with it. NNID's are locked to the region of the device that created them, and cannot be transferred between regions without [a very complex and advanced process](https://gist.githubusercontent.com/yifanlu/e80db121d38aceb8cca0e03cefd5853b/raw/3c4dd89869156ca0f945a2791e699acfdb32b510/gistfile1.txt).
{: .notice--warning}

After this process, only **New 3DSs which have never accessed the eShop before** and **any Old 3DSs** will be able to access the eShop after creating a new NNID on their new region. Region changed New 3DSs that have already accessed the eShop on their original region cannot create a new NNID and access the eShop on their new region!
{: .notice--warning}

Note that occasionally the eShop will inexplicably still not work for devices that it should work for. This is entirely to do with Nintendo's servers, and I really do not have any control over it.
{: .notice--warning}

Region changing using ctrtransfer (which this method uses) seems to cause reboot patches to break. The cause for this is unknown, but for now Old 3DS users will be unable to play extended memory mode games (such as Monster Hunter, Super Smash Bros, and Pokémon Sun / Moon).
{: .notice--warning}

**Du MÅ allerede ha installert arm9loaderhax + Luma3DS for å bruke dette.**

#### Instruksjoner

**Some consoles have a `SecureInfo_B` instead of `SecureInfo_A`; this is fine and you should use `SecureInfo_B` for the relevant steps.**   
{: .notice--info} 

##### Seksjon I - Forarbeid

1. Copy `GodMode9.bin` from the GodMode9 `.zip` to the `/luma/payloads/` folder on your SD card
2. Kopier `Decrypt9WIP.bin` til `/luma/payloads/` mappen på SD-kortet og ombenenn `Decrypt9WIP.bin` til `x_Decrypt9WIP.bin`
3. Kopier 9.2.0 ctrtransferbildet `.bin` og `. bin.sha` fra ctrtransfer `.zip` til mappen `/files9/` på SD-kortet
4. Sett inn SD-kortet i konsollen

##### Seksjon II - Sikkerhetskopi av tickets og konfigurasjonssaver

1. Trykk (Start) og hold (X) for omstart til arm9loaderhax Decrypt9     
3. Gå til "Ticket/Titlekey Options", og velg "Ticket Dump (SysNAND)"
4. Trykk (Select) for å løse ut SD-kortet, og sett det deretter inn i datamaskinen
5. Slett alle `.tik` filer i mappen `/files9/` som **ikke** starter med "00-"
6. La alle `.tik` filer som begynner med "00-" være i mappen
7. Sett inn SD-kortet i 3DSen, og trykk (B) for å gå tilbake til hovedmenyen
8. Gå til "SysNAND Options", deretter "System Save Dump", og velg "Dump configsave.bin"

### Seksjon III - ctroverførsel

1. Gå til "SysNAND Options", deretter "CTRNAND Transfer", og deretter "Auto CTRNAND Transfer"
2. Select the 9.2.0 ctrtransfer image when prompted by pressing (A)
3. Hvis du ikke allerede har en NAND sikkerhetskopi, **lag SysNAND til `NANDmin.bin` når du blir spurt ved å trykke (A)**
4. La overføringsprosessen fortsette automatisk, dette vil ta litt tid
5. Når overføringen er fullført, trykk på (Select) for å fjerne SD-kortet
6. Putt SD-kortet inn i datamaskinen, kopier deretter `NANDmin.bin` og `NANDmin.bin.sha` fra `/files9/` mappen på SD-kortet til en sikker plass
  + Lagre sikkerhetskopien flere plasser
  + Denne sikkerhetskopien vil spare deg fra en brick hvis noe går galt i fremtiden
  + **Sikkerhetskopien din skal samsvare med en av størrelse på [denne](nand-size) siden; hvis ikke, bør du slette den og lage en ny!**
7. Delete the 9.2.0 ctrtransfer image `.bin` and `.bin.sha` from the `/files9/` folder on your SD card after copying it
8. Sett inn SD-kortet i konsollen

##### Section IV - Editing SecureInfo

1. Trykk (Start) og hold (Opp) for omstart til arm9loaderhax GodMode9      
2. Navigate to `SYSNAND CTRNAND` -> `rw` -> `sys`
3. Trykk (Y) på `SecureInfo_A` for å kopiere den
4. Trykk (Y) for å lime inn en kopi av `SecureInfo_A`
5. Velg "Copy path(s)"
6. Trykk (A) for å låse opp SysNAND skriving, og trykk in den gitte tastekombinasjonen
7. Velg "Choose new name"
8. Use the D-Pad to rename the file to `SecureInfo_C`, pressing (A) when you're done (overwrite any existing `SecureInfo_C`)
9. Scroll down to the `SecureInfo_C` you just pasted
10. Trykk (A) på `SecureInfo_C` og velg "Show in Hexeditor"
11. Trykk (A) for å fortsette
12. Press (A) to enter edit mode
13. Go to the beginning of line 00000100 and press (A) on it
14. Hold (A) while pressing (Up) or (Down) on the D-Pad to edit the number
15. Change the first number pair on line 00000100 to the following pair that corresponds to *the region you want to change to*:
    - "00" : JPN
    - "01" : USA
    - "02" : EUR
16. Press (B) to exit edit mode, then save changes, then press (B) again to return to the directory
17. You should see both a `SecureInfo_A` and `SecureInfo_C` if everything was done properly. (`SecureInfo_C` is used in place of `SecureInfo_A` when using Luma3DS if it detects the file on boot)
18. Trykk (Start) for omstart

##### Section V - Reinstalling Tickets

1. Åpne FBI
2. Velg "SD"
3. Velg "files9"
4. Velg "\<current directory>"
5. Velg "Install and delete all tickets"
6. Vent. The system may appear to freeze, just give it time.
7. Press (A) to confirm
8. Press (B) to decline installing tickets from CDN.
9. Exit with the home button

##### Section VI - Region settings

1. Open the System Settings
2. Go to "Other Settings", "Profile", then "Region Settings"
3. Select a country from the region you switched to
4. If prompted, you do not need to set a state
5. Update your region changed CFW SysNAND to the latest version

##### Section VII - Restore config save

1. Trykk (Start) og hold (X) for omstart til arm9loaderhax Decrypt9   
2. Go to "SysNAND Options", then "System Save Inject", then select "Inject configsave.bin"

Old 3DSs / 2DSs may need to format (using TinyFormat or the System Settings) to play extended memory mode games (such as Monster Hunter, Super Smash Bros, or Pokemon Sun/Moon).
{: .notice--info}

Formatting a device following a ctrtransfer *without restoring the config save* can cause screen brightness / flickering issues. See [this](https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/issues/794).
