9.2.0 ctrtransfer - lourinaldi/Guide GitHub Wiki

If you started on 2.1.0 on Old 3DS, this guide is for you.

If you downgraded to 2.1.0 on Old 3DS, 2DS, or New 3DS but for some reason have no functional NAND backups, this guide is for you.

If you have already hacked your 3DS before and have a RedNAND based CFW setup, this guide deals exclusively with SysNAND and you should follow all instructions from within or applying to SysNAND. Note that the terms EmuNAND and RedNAND refer to slightly different implementations of the same concept.

What you need

  • Everything from the "What you need" for Part 3 - arm9loaderhax
  • The latest release of Decrypt9WIP
  • The 9.2.0 ctrtransfer image for your device and region
    (if your device is not from one of these regions, just pick one that matches your device type):

Instructions

  1. Copy the 9.2.0 ctrtransfer image .bin and .bin.sha from the ctrtransfer zip to the /files9/ folder on your SD card
  2. Copy Decrypt9WIP.bin to the /luma/payloads/ folder on your SD card and rename Decrypt9WIP.bin to x_Decrypt9WIP.bin
  3. Reinsert your SD card into your 3DS
  4. Open Decrypt9 from arm9loaderhax by holding X during boot
  5. Go to "SysNAND Options", then "CTRNAND Transfer", then "Auto CTRNAND Transfer"
  6. Select the 9.2.0 ctrtransfer image when prompted by pressing (A)
  7. Backup SysNAND to NANDmin.bin when prompted by pressing (A)
  8. Allow the transfer process to proceed automatically, this may take some time
  9. Once the transfer is complete, press Select to eject your SD card
  10. Put your SD card in your computer, then copy NANDmin.bin and NANDmin.bin.sha from the /files9/ folder on your SD card to a safe location; make backups in multiple locations; this backup will save you from a brick if anything goes wrong in the future (Your backup should match one of the sizes on this page; if it does not, you should delete it and make a new one!)
  11. Delete the 9.2.0 ctrtransfer image .bin and .bin.sha from the /files9/ folder on your SD card
  12. Reinsert your SD card into your 3DS
  13. Press Start to reboot
  14. Update your CFW SysNAND to the latest version using system settings (if it is not already)
    • Yes this is safe, stop opening Github issues about it.
    • If you copied a firmware.bin to /luma/ earlier, delete it after updating or you won't be able to boot
