Before starting this guide, we will see if custom firmware is already installed and check the current system version of your device.
|
|
|
|
#### Section I - CFW Check
|
|
|
|
1. Power off your device
|
|
1. Hold the (Select) button
|
|
1. Power on your device while still holding the (Select) button
|
|
1. If you do not see an unusual menu (e.g. "Luma3DS Configuration"), you may proceed to the next section
|
|
|
|
If you see an unusual menu, STOP - you already have custom firmware! Continue from [here](checking-for-cfw#what-to-do-next).
|
|
{: .notice--warning}
|
|
|
|
#### Section II - System Version Check
|
|
|
|
1. Open the System Settings application
|
|
1. Your system version will be displayed on the bottom right of the top screen (e.g. "Ver. 11.17.0-50U")
|
|
|
|
#### Section III - Select a Method
|
|
|
|
To find the correct method for your device, please enter the system version you found in Section II.
|
|
|
|
{% capture noneSelected %}
|
|
System model is required.
|
|
{% endcapture %}
|
|
|
|
{% capture invalidVersion %}
|
|
This doesn't seem to be a valid system version.
|
|
{% endcapture %}
|
|
|
|
{% capture methodUnavailable %}
|
|
You currently cannot hack your 3DS on this version using the main methods. If you want to hack your console, you may have to use ntrboot.</a>.
|
|
{% endcapture %}
|
|
|
|
{% include consoleVersionSelect.html noneSelected=noneSelected invalidVersion=invalidVersion methodUnavailable=methodUnavailable %}
