Required Reading

This page is for existing arm9loaderhax users to update their devices to boot9strap.

All future releases of Luma3DS will only be made in the .firm format, which will only be compatible with boot9strap and sighax. This means that to continue receiving the latest updates of Luma3DS, you should use this page to update your installation.

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.

If you have a PIN enabled on Luma3DS, SafeB9SInstaller will give you an "OTP Crypto Fail" error unless you temporarily disable your PIN (you can re-enable the PIN after the update). {: .notice--warning}

{% capture notice-1 %} There have been reports of a wave of bans being handed out to CFW users by Nintendo. To protect yourself, please do the following steps before starting this guide:

1. Go to System Settings, then "Internet Settings", then "SpotPass", then "Sending of System Information"
2. Disable the "Sending of System Information" option
3. Exit the System Settings
4. Go to your Friend List (the [orange Face Icon]({{ "/images/friend-list-icon.png" | absolute_url }}) in the top row of your Home Menu)

• If you receive an error and are kicked out of the menu, the Friend List setting is either already disabled or your console cannot connect to Nintendo's servers (due to a ban or connection issues)

1. Go to the Friend List settings, then "Friend Notification Settings", then "Show friends what you're playing"
2. Disable the "Show friends what you're playing" option
3. Exit your Friend List

What You Need

Note that the following required file named secret_sector.bin is the same one that was found in the various data_input.zip file versions. If you already have that file on your disk somewhere, you can use that one instead of downloading the one below. {: .notice--info}

Note that, only on New 3DS, secret_sector.bin is needed to revert the arm9loaderhax exploit, which is why it is not needed for the installation of boot9strap on a stock console. If you do not have a New 3DS, you do not need secret_sector.bin. {: .notice--info}

• - New 3DS Users Only: secret_sector.bin
• The latest release of Luma3DS
• The v7.0.5 release of Luma3DS (the .7z file)
• The latest release of SafeB9SInstaller
• The latest release of boot9strap (standard boot9strap; not the devkit file, not the ntr file)
• The latest release of the Homebrew Launcher
