Technical Details (optional)
For technical details on the exploits that you will be using on this page, see “DSiWare_Exports CTCert verification” and “FIRM partitions known-plaintext” here.
To use the magnet link for frogcert.bin on this page, you will need a torrent client like qBittorrent or Deluge.
If you are unable to install one, follow Bannerbomb3 instead.
Wat je nodig hebt
- Your
movable.sedfile from completing Seedminer or nimhax on the root of your SD card - frogcert.bin (magnet link)
- The latest release of Frogtool
- The latest release of b9sTool
Deel I - CFW Controle
As an additional safety measure, we will perform an additional check for custom firmware. This is because using this method when custom firmware is already installed has a risk of bricking the console (rendering it unusable without recovery methods like ntrboot).
- Schakel je 3DS uit
- Houd de (Select) knop ingedrukt
- Zet je 3DS aan terwijl je de (Select) knop ingedrukt houdt
- If the check was successful, you will boot to the HOME Menu and you may proceed with this guide
- Schakel je 3DS uit
If you see a configuration menu or the console immediately powers off, you already have CFW, and continuing with these instructions may BRICK your device! Follow Checking for CFW to upgrade your existing CFW.

Section IV - Flipnote Exploit
If you would prefer a visual guide to this section, one is available here.
In this section, you will perform a series of very specific steps within Flipnote Studio that, when performed correctly, will launch the boot9strap (custom firmware) installer.
- Complete the initial setup process for the launched game until you reach the main menu
- Select the left option whenever prompted during the setup process
- Using the touch-screen, select the large left box, then select the box with an SD card icon
- Once the menu loads, select the face icon, then the bottom right icon to continue
- Press (X) or (UP) on the D-Pad depending on which is shown on the top screen
- Select the second button along the top with a film-reel icon
- Scroll right until reel “3/3” is selected
- Tap the third box with the letter “A” in it
- Scroll left until reel “1/3” is selected
- Tap the fourth box with the letter “A” in it
- If the exploit was successful, your device will have loaded b9sTool
- Using the D-Pad, move to “Install boot9strap”
- If you miss this step, the system will exit to HOME Menu instead of installing boot9strap and you will need to open Nintendo DS Connections and start over from the beginning of this section
- Press (A), then press START and SELECT at the same time to begin the process
- Once completed and the bottom screen says “done.”, exit b9sTool, then power off your device
- You may have to force power off by holding the power button
