<summary><em>Technical Details (optional)</em></summary>

In order to exploit the SAFE_MODE firmware of our system, we need to inject an exploited WiFi profile.

As we already have Homebrew access, we can use slotTool to do this.

Once the WiFi profile has been injected, we will use SAFE_MODE, which is a recovery feature present on all 3DS consoles, to activate the exploited WiFi profile.

For a more technical explanation, see [here](https://github.com/zoogie/unSAFE_MODE/) for information about the unSAFE_MODE exploit.

### Qué necesitas

* The latest release of [SafeB9SInstaller](https://github.com/d0k3/SafeB9SInstaller/releases/download/v0.0.7/SafeB9SInstaller-20170605-122940.zip) (direct download)
* The latest release of [unSAFE_MODE](https://github.com/zoogie/unSAFE_MODE/releases/download/v1.3/RELEASE_v1.3.zip) (direct download)

#### Sección I - Preparativos

In this section, you will copy the files needed to trigger the unSAFE_MODE exploit onto your device's SD card. Then, you will use Homebrew Launcher to launch slotTool, which will overwrite your Wi-Fi slots with hacked data. Your Wi-Fi connection settings will be temporarily overwritten while the exploit is active.

1. Inserta tu tarjeta SD en tu computadora
1. Crea una carpeta llamada `boot9strap` en la raíz de tu tarjeta SD
1. Copy `boot9strap.firm` and `boot9strap.firm.sha` from the RELEASE `.zip` to the `/boot9strap/` folder on your SD card
1. Crea una carpeta llamada `3ds` en la raíz de tu tarjeta SD, si aún no existe
    + Esta carpeta almacena aplicaciones homebrew y datos relacionados; es distinta de la carpeta `Nintendo 3DS` que genera la consola automáticamente
1. Copy the `slotTool` folder from the RELEASE `.zip` to the `/3ds/` folder on your SD card
1. Copy `usm.bin` from the RELEASE `.zip` to the root folder on your SD card
1. Copia `SafeB9SInstaller.bin` desde el `.zip` de SafeB9SInstaller a la raíz de tu tarjeta SD
1. Reinserta tu tarjeta SD en tu consola
1. Enciende tu consola
1. Open the Homebrew Launcher through your method of choice (likely the Internet Browser)
1. Launch slotTool from the list of homebrew
  + If you get stuck on a red screen, forcefully power off the console by holding the power button for fifteen seconds, then retry this section
1. Select the "INSTALL exploit to wifi slots 1,2,3 & shutdown" option
  + You will see some on-screen text and then your system will shut down
