This is so helpful, thank you! I'm just getting a 2ds for mods/hacking, and all the other tutorials were so confusing and hard to understand, so thank you for making it sound so easy!!
Thanks so much! I had the same firmware on my Japanese 3ds and couldn't find any tutorials on it. Thankfully this saved me and worked perfectly! Thanks so much!
I updated my 3DS before I could homebrew it. Sorry. But I'm not giving up on any of you! If updates keep evolving, so too will the homebrew hackers. I'm not much of a hacker myself, more like a motivational speaker.
you said that wrong. if community get's around 11.17 security ok but we're not asking for any new updates while we're being forced to not buy our own games legally.
@@mariacarlota4440 well if they update the firmware you won't be able to use this tutorial. My 2ds got updated so I have to wait until they come up with a new method to mod it.
@@Deraj1313 The CFM does not belong to Nintendo, so they can’t update it. They only can put updates to block it just like that. But the "hacking” team will find a way to update it beyond, be sure :) That’s only a coding game… update upon updates etc
@@Deraj1313 I hope they don’t. If they do, I might just do a factory reset, and see if that’ll push the update back Edit: nvm that won’t work. I hope they dont update my damn system😑. I had plans for that system. I wanna start my wireless streams!😭
legend bro. had to buy me a different 3ds because the sd slot broke on me and i havent been able to find anyone to fix it for a bout a year so i bought a different 3ds. thanks for this easy video.
thank you so much for this! i was on an older firmware (around 4.5) and i struggled watching other youtube videos and following the online tutorial on the website but this was so easy to understand and i was able to do it quickly without any issue! :)
When I get a 2ds I’m going to order the micro as adapter the same one your using and when it comes in I’m going to use this tutorial immediately thanks man this very useful
Finally, I found a good video on how to mod a 2DS/3DS with Homebrew and updating it to 11.17 without it being *BRICKED*. Sorry, for the bold and capitals on the bricked.
There are three things that are incredibly fast in our world. Lightning McQueen, Hentai Artists, and the 3DS Modding Scene, because my god was this fast.
Haha, while I appreciate your funny comment, I think you may be misunderstanding. This video shows how to hack a 3DS BELOW FW 11.17 and then safely update to 11.17. You still can't hack 11.17 if you didn't have CFW before updating.
@@Techcravers Oh yes, I understand the purpose of this video haha. I meant it as more of a funny comment since I heard European and Japanese consoles got cracked while American ones have to wait.

Hey there, I'm currently stuck with installing the cias onto the home brew launcher for the first time. I'm using a "3ds" that is already running on the 11.17 update and when I attempt to install and delete the cias such as homebrew, chekpoint, FBI etc. but i'm getting an error saying failed to install cia file.

... already have a CFW New Nintendo 2DS but now i've got a new 3DS with Capture Card Inside and really wanted to CFW it aswell. Thought I was already to late but luckily still was on the old firmware and could still CFW it ^^
Hi there everyone! Nintendo just released a new Firmware update (11.17.0). If your device is running Luma 11.0 or higher, it is 100% safe to update. You can check your Luma version by holding (Select) while booting your device. If your device is on an older Luma version, you should update Luma before you update your device to 11.17.0. In this video I will show you how to hack your device (on older firmware) and then update it to 11.17! :)
EDIT: I have found the issue, the simple solution is the following: Within the CHEATS folder in your gameid folder, you will need to rename your cheat.txt file to the current build id, check the edizon overlay and it will show you the build id of the game, simply rename the cheats.txt file to the current build id indicated by edizon
It worked, thank you very much, I only have one question, if one day I need to format the factory standards, which part of this process do I need to start?
My friend updated to latest firmware before cfw and device cannot be cfw. How can we do that. Or can we are downgrade to 11.16 or earlier. We don't have backup.
so what if i modded my 3ds and then a few weeks later updated it when the update came out and i dont have luma 3d installed would that cause any problems?
@@samanosukeakechi8038 it doesnt work for older models. I have an old 3ds i guess i have to wait until they find a new way to download homebrew on the older models or ill have to emulate the games on my pc 😢
Hi there everyone. I have now published a video on HOW TO HACK 11.17 if you accidentally updated your old 3DS, 3DS XL or 2DS: ua-cam.com/video/cNJQtscRopU/v-deo.html Also, if you want to support the channel, you can find awesome deals on Micro SD cards from Samsung through my affiliate link (thank you! ❤): amzn.to/47tlLPw
I did this and used CTRTransfer, but now whenever I try to boot into DS mode I get an ErrDisp. I know it's because of CTRtransfer becuase I reverted to the origional nand and it worked but I want my 3ds in English so I changed it back. Any suggestions on what I can do?
i was able to complete this successfully on my n3ds xl using the stock 4gb micro sd card that came with it. if i wanna upgrade to a 32gb micro sd card, will i have to repeat all of this?
Hiya, question. So I’ve already hacked my 3ds and it works fine. I’ve updated it and something strange happened. When I try to copy the files to a new sd card, it like, blocks the sd card. Am I just stuck with this one? (FIXED)
There is a possibility!! Today a friend of mine cracked a 11.17 with a second cracked 3DS and two games of Mario Cart. I exactly don't know how, but it is possible!!! 💪🏼🤩
