Seedminer (Alternate)
Technical Details (optional)
To install boot9strap on your device, we derive your device’s unique encryption key. To accomplish this, we use a tool called Seedminer to calculate the data encryption key (movable.sed) for your device.
For information on how Seedminer works, see this presentation.
This method uses a powerful graphics card to perform the calculations needed. A volunteer-run website is used for the purpose of assisting you with this method.
Section I - Prep Work
In this section, you will get the necessary details from your 3DS that are required to figure out your device’s encryption key.
Before following this section:
- Ensure that you have turned on your console with the SD card inserted at least once to generate the necessary data
- Ensure that your console is connected to the Internet (you should see a blue “Internet” indicator on the top-left corner of the HOME screen)
- Schakel je 3DS uit
- Plaats je SD kaart in je computer
- Ga naar de
Nintendo 3DS
map op je SD-kaart - Copy the name of the 32-letter folder you see directly inside Nintendo 3DS
- This 32-letter name is system-specific and will be different for each console
- If you see multiple 32-letter folders, follow these instructions
- Je kunt de
private
map negeren als je deze hebt
- Paste your 32-letter folder name into a document you can reference later
- This folder is known as your “ID0”. Take note of this as this guide will refer to it as such later
- Zet je 3DS aan
- Je SD-kaart hoeft niet geplaatst te worden op dit moment
- Ga naar je Friend List (het oranje gezichtsicoontje op de bovenste rij van je HOME-Menu)
- Als je een error krijgt en uit het menu wordt gegooid, moet je een nieuwe Mii maken of kan je 3DS niet met Nintendo’s servers verbinden (door een ban of connectie problemen)
- Zoek je Mii profiel, zoek dan naar het “Friend Code” veld op het bovenste scherm
Section II - Seedminer
In this section, you will use the Bruteforce Movable website to retrieve your device’s encryption key in the form of movable.sed
.
- Open Bruteforce Movable on your computer
- If the site isn’t working, join Nintendo Homebrew on Discord and ask (in English) for someone there to assist you
- Enter your device’s Friend Code (with no spaces or dashes) into the “Your friend code” field
- Paste your device’s 32 character long folder name into the “Your ID0” field
- Do not attempt to enter the ID0 manually, as it is easy to make a mistake. Ensure the ID0 is entered correctly by copying and pasting it from where you saved it in the previous section
- Select “Go”
- If the site immediately goes to step 4, the website has already correctly processed your bruteforce request. You can download your
movable.sed
file and continue to the next section. You do not need to (re-)add the bot
- If the site immediately goes to step 4, the website has already correctly processed your bruteforce request. You can download your
- Use the “Register Friend” button on your device to add the bot’s friend code as given by the website
- If prompted, the name that you give to the friend does not matter
- Wait for the site to update
- If it does not, wait a few minutes before refreshing the page once
- Once the site processes your information, the site will continue to
Step 2: Bruteforce
automatically - Wait for the remainder of the process to complete
- This is usually fast (1-5 minutes)
- During this process, the bot you added may not show up on your 3DS. As long as the website updates, this is not an issue
- If you are still waiting after half an hour, join Nintendo Homebrew on Discord and ask (in English) for someone there to assist you
- If you get “We were unable to successfully complete your bruteforce request. :`(“, follow the respective troubleshooting on this page
- Keep this file as you will need it in the upcoming page
- Schakel je 3DS uit
Next steps
Select the method based on the application that you have installed on your 3DS. No matter which method you pick, the end result will be the same.
DSiWare
If you own any DSiWare title on your 3DS, you can dump it to the SD card so that it can be used to temporarily inject Flipnote into DS Connection Settings.

This method uses the game Pokémon Picross, which was a free-to-play game. Using the movable.sed
file, you can create a hacked save file that will give you access to Homebrew Launcher, which will be used for further exploitation.
