Seedminer
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 - Updating the System
In this section, you will update your system to the latest version, which is necessary for Seedminer.
- Actualiza tu 3DS dirigiéndote a la Configuración de la consola, después a “Otras opciones”, luego ve al último menú de la derecha y pulsa en “Actualización”
- El actualizador podría mostrar un mensaje diciendo “La consola ya está actualizada” en lugar de actualizar. This is normal if you are already up to date; continue to the next section
- If this gives you an error, set both your DNS settings and Proxy settings to “Auto”
Section II - 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)
- Apaga tu consola
- Inserta tu tarjeta SD en tu computadora
- Ve a la carpeta
Nintendo 3DS
en tu tarjeta SD - 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
- You can ignore the
private
folder if you have it
- 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
- Enciende tu consola
- Your SD card does not need to be inserted at this point
- Go to your Friend List (the orange Face Icon in the top row of your HOME Menu)
- Si recibes un error y eres expulsado del menú, es posible que debas crear un nuevo Mii o que tu consola no se pueda conectar a los servidores de Nintendo (debido a un ban o problemas de conexión)
- Encuentra el perfil de tu Mii, luego busca donde dice “Código de amigo” en la pantalla superior
Section III - 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
- When the process is completed, download your
movable.sed
file from the site- Keep this file as you will need it in the upcoming page
- Apaga tu consola
Next step: BannerBomb3
Once you have your device’s encryption key (movable.sed
), you can use it in conjunction with BannerBomb3, which uses your movable.sed
file to take advantage of exploits in the System Settings application.
