<summary><em>Technical Details (optional)</em></summary>

We use BannerBomb3 to install menuhax67, which lets us access the Homebrew Launcher. From there, we launch uloader which launches SafeB9SInstaller. 

See [here](https://github.com/zoogie/uloader) for information about uloader and [here](https://github.com/zoogie/menuhax67) for information about menuhax67.

You should only be able to get to this page if you are running version 11.15.0 or 11.14.0. If you are on any firmware above 11.15.0, uloader will fail.

### What You Need

* The latest release of [SafeB9SInstaller](https://github.com/d0k3/SafeB9SInstaller/releases/download/v0.0.7/SafeB9SInstaller-20170605-122940.zip) (direct download)
* The latest release of [boot9strap](https://github.com/SciresM/boot9strap/releases/download/1.4/boot9strap-1.4.zip) (direct download)
* The latest release of [uloader](https://github.com/zoogie/uloader/releases/download/1.0/uloader.3dsx) (direct download)
* The latest release of [Luma3DS](https://github.com/LumaTeam/Luma3DS/releases/latest) (the Luma3DS `.zip` file)

#### Section I - Prep Work

1. Power off your console
1. Insert your SD card into your computer
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. Create a folder named `3ds` on the root of your SD card if it does not already exist
    + This folder stores homebrew applications and data; it is different from the `Nintendo 3DS` folder that the console automatically generates
1. Copy `uloader.3dsx` to the `/3ds/` folder on your SD card
1. Reinsert your SD card into your console

#### Section II - menuhax67

In this section you will use the menuhax67 exploit installed earlier to launch uloader, which will load SafeB9SInstaller.

1. Tap on the small HOME Menu settings icon in the top left of the bottom screen (![]({{ "/images/homemenuicon.png" | absolute_url }}){: height="32px" width="52px"})
  + If the console freezes for a while and then crashes, make sure you have Launcher.dat on the root of your SD card
1. If the exploit was successful, your console will have booted into the Homebrew Launcher
1. Launch uloader from the list of homebrew
1. If the exploit was successful, you will have booted into SafeB9SInstaller
  + If the console freezes or crashes, force power off the console, then retry this section
