Seedminer-based methods have been replaced by easier, safer methods. Please return to [Get Started](get-started) unless you have a legitimate reason to follow this page (such as broken shoulder buttons).

### Required Reading
|
|
|
|
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 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 (the exact exploit used will depend on your device's region).
|
|
|
|
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).
|
|
|
|
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.

### Instructions
|
|
|
|
#### Section I - Prep Work
|
|
|
|
1. Insert your SD card into your computer
|
|
1. Navigate to the `Nintendo 3DS` folder on your SD card
|
|
1. Copy the 32 character long name of the folder you see inside Nintendo 3DS
|
|
+ Do not go inside any more folders
|
|
+ If you see multiple folders with long, random names inside `Nintendo 3DS` without opening any other folders, 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. Power on your device
|
|
1. Go to your Friend List (the [orange Face Icon]({{ "/images/friend-list-icon.png" | absolute_url }}) in the top row of your Home Menu)
|
|
+ If you receive an error and are kicked out of the menu, you either must create a new Mii or your device 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://seedminer.hacks.guide/) 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 the site isn't working, 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
|
|
+ Do not attempt to enter the ID0 by hand. Ensure the ID0 is entered correctly by copying and pasting it from where you saved it in the previous section
|
|
1. Select "Go"
|
|
+ If the site immediately goes to step 4, download your `movable.sed` file and continue with the next section
|
|
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, wait a few minutes before refreshing the page once
|
|
1. Once the site processes your information, you will be given the option to "Continue" or "Do another device". Click the green "Continue" button
|
|
1. Wait for the remainder of the process to complete
|
|
+ This is usually fast (1-5 minutes) but in some cases, can take up to half an hour
|
|
+ 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](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
|
|
+ Keep this file as you will need it in the upcoming pages
|
|

#### PicHaxx + universal-otherapp (Recommended)
|
|
|
|
This method of using Seedminer for further exploitation uses your `movable.sed` file to write a custom save file for Pokémon Picross, which can then be used in conjunction with universal-otherapp to install custom firmware.
|
|
|
|
This route requires the Pokémon Picross application (free on eShop), and thus requires eShop access and a 3DS with a region of USA, EUR, or JPN.

|
#### BannerBomb3 + Fredtool
|
|
|
|
This method of using Seedminer for further exploitation uses your `movable.sed` file to create a custom DSiWare backup that exploits the system to dump system DSiWare.
|
|
|
|
This route is only recommended if you are for some reason unable to follow the PicHaxx + universal-otherapp route.
