<summary><em>Technical Details (optional)</em></summary>
<p>In order to exploit the SAFE_MODE firmware of our system, we need to inject an exploited WiFi profile.</p>
<p>We can do this using an existing exploit, BannerBomb3.</p>
<p>To accomplish this, we use your systems 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>For a more technical explanation, see the following links for information on the BannerBomb3 and unSAFE_MODE exploits: <a href="https://github.com/zoogie/Bannerbomb3">BannerBomb3</a>, <a href="https://github.com/zoogie/unSAFE_MODE/">unSAFE_MODE</a>.</p>

<h3 id="compatibility-notes">Compatibility Notes</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p class="notice--warning">If your (Right/Left Shoulder), (D-Pad Up), or (A) buttons do not work, you will need to follow <a href="installing-boot9strap-(fredtool)">an alternate branch of Seedminer</a>.

<ul>
<li>There is no update. This is part of the exploit</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Press “I accept” to accept the terms and conditions</li>

<li>When asked “Would you like to configure Internet settings?”, select “Yes”</li>
<li>On the following menu, navigate to <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Connection 1</code> -&gt; <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Change Settings</code> -&gt; <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Next Page (right arrow)</code> -&gt; <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Proxy Settings</code> -&gt; <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Detailed Setup</code> (<a href="/images/screenshots/usm/safemode_highlighted.png">image</a>)</li>

<ul>
<li>If your device instead freezes on a white screen, hold the POWER button until it turns off, then retry this section</li>
<li>If your device instead freezes on a red screen, you are missing <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">usm.bin</code> from the root of your SD card</li>

</ol>
<p>At this point, your console will boot to Luma3DS by default.</p>
