Installing boot9strap (Hardmod)

{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}

Required Reading

An excellent guide to getting a hardmod can be found here.

This is a currently working implementation of the "FIRM partitions known-plaintext" exploit detailed here.

To use the magnet links on this page, you will need a torrent client like Deluge.

To extract the .7z files linked on this page, you will need a file archiver like 7-Zip or The Unarchiver.

This will work on New 3DS, New 2DS, Old 3DS, and Old 2DS on all versions that you have a corresponding .firm for.

What You Need

• Your NAND image extracted using your hardmod
• The latest release of boot9strap (standard boot9strap; not the devkit file, not the ntr file)
• The latest version of hardmod-b9s-installer
  • Windows users can use the compiled .exe, while Mac and Linux users will need to have Python 3 installed to run the .py
• The latest release of Luma3DS
• The .firm corresponding to your device and version:
