1. Power off your device
1. Insert your SD card into your computer
1. Copy `otherapp.bin` to the root of your SD card
  + The root of the SD card refers to the initial directory on your SD card where you can see the Nintendo 3DS folder, but are not inside of it
1. Copy `boot.firm` and `boot.3dsx` from the Luma3DS `.zip` to the root of your SD card
1. Create a folder named `boot9strap` on the root of your SD card
1. Copy `boot9strap.firm` and `boot9strap.firm.sha` from the boot9strap `.zip` to the `/boot9strap/` folder on your SD card
1. Copy `SafeB9SInstaller.bin` from the SafeB9SInstaller `.zip` to the root of your SD card

#### Section II - PicHaxx

1. Open [the PicHaxx Injector website](https://3ds.nhnarwhal.com/3dstools/pichaxx.php) on your computer
1. Select your `movable.sed` file
1. Select "Build and Download"
1. Wait for the process to complete
1. Navigate to `Nintendo 3DS` -> `<ID0>` -> `<ID1>` -> `title` -> `00040000` -> `0017c100` -> `data` on your SD card
  + The `<ID0>` will be the same one that you used in [Seedminer](seedminer)
  + The `<ID1>` is a 32 character long folder inside of the `<ID0>`
1. Copy the newly downloaded `00000001.sav` file to the `data` folder on your SD card
  + Overwrite the old save file when prompted
1. Reinsert your SD card into your device
1. Power on your device
1. Launch "Pokemon Picross"
1. If the exploit was successful, your device will have booted into SafeB9SInstaller

#### Section III - Installing boot9strap

1. Wait for all safety checks to complete
1. When prompted, input the key combo given to install boot9strap
1. Once it has completed, press (A) to reboot your device

#### Section IV - Configuring Luma3DS

1. Your device should have rebooted into the Luma3DS configuration menu
  + If you get a black screen, [follow this troubleshooting guide](troubleshooting#boot-related-issues-on-modded-devices)
1. Use the (A) button and the D-Pad to turn on the following:
  + **"Show NAND or user string in System Settings"**
1. Press (Start) to save and reboot

At this point, your console will boot to Luma3DS by default as long as the SD card is inserted.
  + Luma3DS does not look any different from the normal HOME menu. If your console has booted into the HOME menu, it is running custom firmware.
  + On the next page, you will copy Luma3DS to internal memory so that you can boot without an SD card.

At this point, Pokémon Picross is no longer necessary and can be removed from your device.
