#### Descripció general dels passos
{% capture notice-2 %}
The file `boot.firm` is what is launched by boot9strap itself after it finishes loading off of NAND, and can be any valid arm9 payload in the FIRM format. This file can be replaced at any time, although Luma3DS allows for the launch of other arm9 payloads in the FIRM format using the Luma3DS chainloader.
In this case, we use Luma3DS by [AuroraWright](https://github.com/AuroraWright/) to boot a patched SysNAND directly, allowing us to completely bypass the need for any kind of EmuNAND, vastly simplifying the usage of a hacked 3DS in addition to saving SD card space.
During this process, we also setup programs such as the following:
+ **FBI** *(installs CIA formatted games and applications)*
+ **Themely** *(installs custom themes)*
+ **Luma3DS Updater** *(updates your CFW installation easily)*
+ **GodMode9** *(multipurpose tool which can do NAND and cartridge functions)*
+ **Homebrew Launcher Loader** *(launches the Homebrew Launcher as a regular application thanks to Rosalina magic)*

{: .notice--info}
1. If your device is on a version below 9.0.0, your device will not boot unless you use an alternative version of Luma3DS:
+ Download [a legacy version of Luma3DS]({{ base_path }}/luma_legacy/cf0b05e/boot.firm)
+ Copy `boot.firm` to the root of your SD card *(overwrite existing files)*
+ Replace this `boot.firm` with the one from [the latest release of Luma3DS](https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/releases/latest) after updating your device later in these instructions
1. If your device is on a version between 3.0.0 and 4.5.0 (inclusive), your device will not boot until you manually download the required firmware:
+ Download [this file](http://nus.cdn.c.shop.nintendowifi.net/ccs/download/0004013800000002/00000056) and rename it to `firmware.bin`

1. Reinsert your SD card into your device
1. Power on your device
##### Section II - Updating the System
If, while following a previous version of this guide, you CTRTransfered your *New 3DS* to 2.1.0, now is the time to [restore your NAND backup](godmode9-usage#nand_restore) before doing this section.
{: .notice--danger}

You can now use Luma3DS Updater to update your Luma3DS to the latest version just by opening it and pressing (A).
This is not the same thing as a System Update; it just downloads and extracts the newest Luma3DS files.
This will only update the Luma3DS files on your SD card. If you boot your device without an SD card, it will use the version you placed in CTRNAND.
