Most 3DS CFW applications and software are designed for use with a SysNAND version between 9.0.0 and 9.2.0. If you are below version 9.0.0, you will need to use this guide to update your 3DS without going all the way to the latest version.

If you are on versions 9.0.0 through 10.7.0 you can just follow the instructions here.

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.

This will work for EUR / JPN / USA regions ONLY!
