### Instructions
|
|
|
|
#### Section I - Prep Work
|
|
|
|
In this section, you will copy the files needed to trigger both Soundhax and universal-otherapp.
|
|
|
|
1. Power off your device
|
|
1. Insert your SD card into your computer
|
|
1. Copy the Soundhax `.m4a` 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 `otherapp.bin` to the root of your SD card
|
|
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
|
|
1. Reinsert your SD card into your device
|
|
1. Power on your device
|

|
|
|
|
#### Section II - Launching SafeB9SInstaller
|
|
|
|
In this section, you will launch Soundhax through the Nintendo 3DS Sound app, which will use universal-otherapp to launch the boot9strap (custom firmware) installer.
|
|
|
|
1. Reinsert your SD card into your device
|
|
1. Power on your device
|
|
1. Launch Nintendo 3DS Sound
|
|
|
|
![]({{ "/images/screenshots/soundhax-welcome.png" | absolute_url }})
|
|
{: .notice--info}
|
|
|
|
1. If you've never opened Nintendo 3DS Sound before and get tips on how to use it from a bird icon, go through all of the bird tips, then close the app normally and relaunch it
|
|
+ In this situation, launching Soundhax immediately would cause these tips to appear on every launch of the Nintendo 3DS Sound until this is done
|
|
1. Go to `/SDCARD`, then play "<3 nedwill 2016"
|
|
+ This may take many tries
|
|
+ If it freezes, force the console to power off by holding the power button, then try again
|
|
|

|
|
{: .notice--info}
|
|
|
|
1. If the exploit was successful, you will have booted into SafeB9SInstaller
|
|
|
|
#### Section III - Installing boot9strap
|
|
|
|
In this section, you will install custom firmware onto your device.
|
|
|
|
1. When prompted, input the key combo given on the top screen to install boot9strap
|
|
1. Once it is complete, press (A) to reboot your device
|
|
1. Your device should have rebooted into the Luma3DS configuration menu
|
|
+ If your device shuts down when you try to power it on, ensure that you have copied `boot.firm` from the Luma3DS `.zip` to the root of your SD card
|
|
1. Press (Start) to save and reboot
|
|
+ If you get an error, just continue to the next page
|
|
|
|
At this point, your console will boot to Luma3DS by default.
|
|
+ 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 install useful homebrew applications to complete your setup.
