Mod Any 'New' 3DS on 11.17

The 'Super-Skaterhax' exploit is the modern standard for New Nintendo 3DS, New 3DS XL, and New 2DS XL systems. It utilizes a flaw in the console's web browser to execute code without needing any specific games.

Preparation

  1. Backup your SD card content and ensure it is formatted to FAT32.
  2. Download the latest Luma3DS and extract the boot.firm and boot.3dsx to the root of your SD card.
  3. Download the v0.1.0 Super-Skaterhax release and copy the arm11code.bin and browserhax_hblauncher_loader.3dsx to the root.

The Exploit

  • Open the 3DS Browser and clear all history/cookies.
  • Navigate to nintendos-sh.github.io.
  • Click the button matching your region and system version.
  • The screen will glitch, and you should boot into the HackMii Installer (or SafeB9SInstaller). Follow the prompts to install Boot9Strap.

Finalizing

Once Luma3DS is installed, hold Start while booting to enter GodMode9. Run the 'finalize' script to automatically install FBI, hShop, and Universal Updater to your home screen. Your system is now fully modded!
