|
|
|
|
In order to exploit the SAFE_MODE firmware of our system, we need to inject an exploited WiFi profile.
|
|
|
|
We can do this using an existing exploit, BannerBomb3.
|
|
|
|
To accomplish this, we use your system's encryption key (movable.sed) to build a DSiWare backup that exploits the system in order to inject the exploited WiFi profile into your connections list.
|
|
|
|
Once the WiFi profile has been injected, we will use SAFE_MODE, which is a recovery feature present on all 3DS consoles, to activate the exploited WiFi profile.
|
|
|
|
For a more technical explanation, see the following links for information on the BannerBomb3 and unSAFE_MODE exploits: [BannerBomb3](https://github.com/zoogie/Bannerbomb3), [unSAFE_MODE](https://github.com/zoogie/unSAFE_MODE/).

### Compatibility Notes
|
|
|
|
These instructions work on USA, Europe, Japan, and Korea region consoles as indicated by the letters U, E, J, or K after the system version.
|
|
|
|
If your (Right/Left Shoulder), (D-Pad Up), or (A) buttons do not work, you will need to follow [an alternate branch of Seedminer](installing-boot9strap-(fredtool)). For assistance with this matter, join [Nintendo Homebrew on Discord](https://discord.gg/MWxPgEp) and ask, in English, for help.

#### Section I - Prep Work
|
|
|
|
In this section, you will copy the files needed to trigger the unSAFE_MODE exploit onto your device's SD card.
|
|
|
|
1. Your SD card should be inserted in your computer
|
|
1. Copy `usm.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
|
|
+ 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. 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 - BannerBomb3
|
|
|
|
In this section, you will trigger the BannerBomb3 exploit using the DSiWare Management menu, which can be used to overwrite your Wi-Fi slots with hacked data. Your Wi-Fi connection settings will be temporarily overwritten while the exploit is active.
|
|
|
|
1. Reinsert your SD card into your device
|
|
1. Power on your device
|
|
1. Launch System Settings on your device
|
|
1. Navigate to `Data Management` -> `DSiWare`-> `SD Card` ([image](/images/screenshots/bb3/dsiware-management.png))
|
|
+ Your device should show the BB3 multihax menu
|
|
+ If this step causes your device to crash, [follow this troubleshooting guide](troubleshooting#dsiware-management-menu-crashes-without-showing-bb3-multihax-menu)
|
|
1. Use the D-Pad to navigate and press the (A) button to select "Install unSAFE_MODE"
|
|
+ Your device will automatically power off
|
|
|
|
#### Section III - unSAFE_MODE
|
|
|
|
In this section, you will enter Safe Mode (a feature available on all 3DS family devices) and navigate to a menu where unSAFE_MODE will be triggered, which will launch you into the boot9strap (custom firmware) installer.
|
|
|
|
1. With your device still powered off, hold the following buttons: (Left Shoulder) + (Right Shoulder) + (D-Pad Up) + (A), and while holding these buttons together, power on your device
|
|
+ Keep holding the buttons until the device boots into Safe Mode (a "system update" menu)
|
|
+ If you're unable to get into Safe Mode after multiple attempts, one of your buttons may be failing or broken. If this is the case, you will need to follow [an alternate branch of BannerBomb3](installing-boot9strap-(fredtool)). For assistance with this matter, join [Nintendo Homebrew on Discord](https://discord.gg/MWxPgEp) and ask, in English, for help.
|
|
1. Press "OK" to accept the update
|
|
+ There is no update. This is part of the exploit
|
|
1. Press "I accept" to accept the terms and conditions
|
|
1. The update will eventually fail, with the error code `003-1099`. This is intended behaviour
|
|
1. When asked "Would you like to configure Internet settings?", select "Yes"
|
|
1. On the following menu, navigate to `Connection 1` -> `Change Settings` -> `Next Page (right arrow)` -> `Proxy Settings` -> `Detailed Setup` ([image](/images/screenshots/usm/safemode_highlighted.png))
|
|
1. If the exploit was successful, your device will have booted into SafeB9SInstaller
|
|
+ If your device instead shows a red screen, you are missing `usm.bin` from the root of your SD card
|
|
|
|
#### Section IV - 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
|
|
+ If the top screen is blank, power off your device and re-do Section III
|
|
1. Once it is complete, press (A) to reboot your device
|
|
1. Your device should have rebooted into the Luma3DS configuration menu
|
|
+ Luma3DS configuration menu are settings for the Luma3DS custom firmware. Many of these settings may be useful for customization or debugging
|
|
+ For the purpose of this guide, these settings will be left on default settings
|
|
+ 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
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
#### Section V - Restoring WiFi Configuration Profiles
|
|
|
|
In this section, you will trigger the BannerBomb3 exploit a second time so that you can restore the Wi-Fi connection slots that were overwritten in Section II.
|
|
|
|
1. Launch System Settings on your device
|
|
1. Navigate to `Data Management` -> `DSiWare`-> `SD Card` ([image](/images/screenshots/bb3/dsiware-management.png))
|
|
1. Use the D-Pad to navigate and press the (A) button to select "Uninstall unSAFE_MODE"
|
|
+ Your device will automatically reboot
|
|
1. Power off your device
|
|
1. Insert your SD card into your computer
|
|
1. Navigate to `Nintendo 3DS` -> `<ID0>` -> `<ID1>` -> `Nintendo DSiWare` on your SD card
|
|
1. Delete `F00D43D5.bin` from your Nintendo DSiWare folder and from your computer. This file will not be needed anymore
