title: "Installing boot9strap (Seedminer)"

{% include toc title="Inhalt" %}
### Lesen erforderlich
To install boot9strap on your 11.8.0 device, we exploit an oversight in the security restrictions applied to "DSiWare" applications.
To accomplish this, we use a tool called Seedminer to calculate the DSiWare encryption key (`movable.sed`) for your device.
We then use this DSiWare encryption key to decrypt a compatible DSiWare application and inject an exploit into it to run our own code.
If this key were completely random, the encryption key would be impossible to break on current computing hardware. Fortunately, the first half of the key (`movable_part1.sed`) is actually mathematically related to your device's Friend Code, allowing us to break the encryption. For information on how Seedminer works, please see [this presentation](https://zoogie.github.io/web/34⅕c3).
Note that this tool requires a PC with a powerful graphics card to break your device's DSiWare encryption. If you do not have access to one of these, there exists several online helper services where a volunteer running automated software will do this for you.
To use the [magnet](https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnet_URI_scheme) links on this page, you will need a torrent client like [Deluge](http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/Download).
Um die `.7z` Dateien, welche auf dieser Seite verlinkt sind, entpacken zu können, benötigst du ein Archivprogramm wie zum Beispiel [7-Zip](http://www.7-zip.org/) oder [The Unarchiver](https://theunarchiver.com/).
This process will overwrite your DSiWare game's save file!

### Anleitung
#### Schritt I - Vorbereitungen
1. Launch System Settings on your device
1. Navigate to `Data Management` -> `DSiWare`
1. Under the "System Memory" section, select your compatible DSiWare game
1. Select "Copy", then select "OK"
+ If prompted, overwrite any existing copy
1. Schalte deinen 3DS aus
1. Stecke deine SD-Karte in deinen Computer
1. Kopiere die Datei `boot.firm` aus der Luma3DS `.7z` in das Stammverzeichnis deiner SD-Karte
1. Copy `boot.nds` (B9STool) to the root of your SD card
1. Kopiere die `boot.3dsx`-Datei in das Stammverzeichnis deiner SD-Karte
1. Navigate to the `Nintendo 3DS` folder on your SD card
1. Copy the 32 character long name of the folder you see
+ If you see multiple folders like this, perform the following:
+ Rename the `Nintendo 3DS` folder to `BACKUP_Nintendo 3DS`
+ Reinsert your SD card into your device and power on your device
+ Wait for the device to generate the SD card data
+ Power off your device and reinsert your SD card into your computer
+ Navigate to the `Nintendo 3DS` folder on your SD card
+ Copy the 32 character long name of the folder you see
+ Delete the `Nintendo 3DS` folder
+ Rename the `BACKUP_Nintendo 3DS` folder to `Nintendo 3DS`
1. Paste your 32 character long folder name into a document you can reference later
+ This folder name is also known as your "ID0"
1. Navigate to `` -> `<32-character-id>` -> `Nintendo DSiWare` on your SD card
1. Copy `<8-character-id>.bin` to a folder on your computer
+ Für eine Liste der 8 Zeichen ID, siehe [Installation von boot9strap (DSiWare Spiel-Injektionsliste)](installing-boot9strap-(dsiware-game-injection-list))
1. Stecke deine SD-Karte nun wieder in deinen 3DS
1. Schalte deine Konsole an
1. Öffne deine Freundesliste (das [Icon mit dem orangenen Gesicht]({{ "/images/friend-list-icon.png" | absolute_url }}) in der obersten Zeile des Home-Menüs)
+ If you receive an error and are kicked out of the menu, you either must create a new Mii or your console cannot connect to Nintendo's servers (due to a ban or connection issues)
1. Find your Mii profile, then find the "Friend Code" field on the top screen
#### Section II - Seedminer
1. Open [Bruteforce Movable](https://bruteforcemovable.com/) on your computer
+ This site can automate the retrieval of `movable_part1.sed` (using a bot 3DS console) and the breaking of your device's DSiWare encryption (using a volunteer's computer to run Seedminer)
+ If you already have access to a 3DS capable of launching the Homebrew Launcher, you can manually retrieve your `movable_part1.sed` using that device by following [these](https://jisagi.github.io/SeedminerGuide/seedminerSelf/#section1) instructions
+ If you already have access to a PC with a powerful graphics card, you can manually calculate your `movable.sed` using it by following [these](https://jisagi.github.io/SeedminerGuide/seedminerSelf/#section2) instructions
+ If the automated service is nonfunctional and you cannot do one or both of those manually, join [Nintendo Homebrew on Discord](https://discord.gg/MWxPgEp) and ask (in English) for someone there to assist you
1. Enter your device's Friend Code (with no spaces or dashes) into the "Your friend code" field
1. Paste your device's 32 character long folder name into the "Your ID0" field
1. Complete the "I'm not a robot" captcha
1. Select "Go"
1. When prompted, use the "Register Friend" button on your device to add the friend code of the bot 3DS console
1. Wait for the site to update
+ If it does not, refresh the page
1. Select "Continue"
1. Wait for the process to complete
+ This can take a while (up to an hour in some cases)
+ If you are still waiting after an hour, join [Nintendo Homebrew on Discord](https://discord.gg/MWxPgEp) and ask (in English) for someone there to assist you
1. When the process has completed, download your `movable.sed` file from the site
#### Section III - DSiWare Injection
1. Open [TADpole Online](https://jisagi.github.io/TADpole-Online/) on your computer
+ If this site is nonfunctional, try [Project DSIHaxInjector](https://jenkins.nelthorya.net/job/DSIHaxInjector/build)
1. Extract the contents of the DSiWare exploit injection `.zip` to a folder on your computer
1. Select your `<8-character-id>.bin` for the "DSiWare.bin" field
1. Select your `movable.sed` file for the "movable.sed" field
1. Select the downloaded `ctcert.bin` file for the "ctcert.bin" field
1. Select the extracted `game_.app` file for the "game_XXX.app" field
1. Select the extracted `public_.sav` file for the "public_XXX.sav" field
1. Select "Start!"
1. Wait for the process to complete
1. Rename the created `<8-character-id>.bin.patched` file to `<8-character-id>.bin`
+ Do not confuse this file with the `<8-character-id>.bin` file from earlier
1. Schalte deinen 3DS aus
1. Stecke deine SD-Karte in deinen Computer
1. Navigate to `Nintendo 3DS` -> `` -> `<32-character-id>` -> `Nintendo DSiWare` on your SD card
1. Copy the new `<8-character-id>.bin` file to the `Nintendo DSiWare` folder on your SD card
+ Overwrite the old `<8-character-id>.bin` file when prompted
1. Stecke deine SD-Karte nun wieder in deinen 3DS
1. Schalte deine Konsole an
1. Launch System Settings on your device
1. Navigate to `Data Management` -> `DSiWare`
1. Under the "SD Card" (or "microSD Card") section, select your compatible DSiWare game
1. Select "Copy", then select "OK"
+ This may have caused your game to appear as "Sudoku" or "4Swords" depending on region; this is normal
1. Exit System Settings
#### Section IV - Flashing FIRM
1. Launch b9sTool by starting your DSiWare game on your device
Du wirst eventuell dazu aufgefordert, auf den Touchscreen zu drücken, um den Exploit zu starten
1. Wähle "Install boot9strap" und bestätige es
1. Schließe b9stool, schalte dann dein Gerät aus
+ Unter Umständen musst du das Ausschalten der Konsole erzwingen indem du den Power-Knopf gedrückt hälst
#### Section V - Configuring Luma3DS
1. Starte deinen 3DS während du (Select) gedrückt hälst, um in die Luma3DS-Konfiguration zu gelangen
+ If you encounter issues launching the Luma configuration menu, [follow this troubleshooting guide](https://github.com/zoogie/b9sTool/blob/master/TROUBLESHOOTING.md)
1. Benutze den (A) Knopf und das Steuerkreuz, um Folgendes zu aktivieren:
+ **"Show NAND or user string in System Settings"**
1. Drücke (Start) zum Speichern und neustarten
+ Wenn du einen schwarzen Bildschirm siehst, [Folge diesen Anweisungen](troubleshooting#black-screen-on-sysnand-boot-after-installing-boot9strap)
