I don't know how to do that stuff. I am hack illiterate. It was hard for me putting a seedminer on my system and I still don't understand all the features on the NAND and godmode or what it means to dump your games, etc. Only thing I have used was the QR code for updating and using the freeshop and anemone.

There is a failsafe mode which Ninty uses to fix bricked systems that relies on booting a specially formatted DS mode cart. That combined with the sighax bootrom flaw, which is what makes boot9strap work, means it is possible to modify a DS flash cart to run our own "recovery" software which does not depend on anything on the NAND (built in storage). That is called ntrboot and is something that can't be patched.

Thus, it is possible to back up and restore the NAND data without needing custom firmware or anything. Not only that, but it is quite possible to have a mostly working 3ds system (aside from gba and ds mode software) even if the NAND chip was physically removed.

So it's safe for people who are n00bs to luma/homebew to update the nintendo update? Is there an update for homebrew? I am sorry if I am asking a question already asked.

Edit: All we do is download from the freeshop, play the games and play Pokemon.
Yeah, it's fine to update.

Ok if you want to call people noobs your a noob youself. Just because people don't have cfw is if they don't know about it or they just can't spend money on a flashcart or do the $2 meathod. Your a b*tch
I... I was calling myself a noob...

Thank you. I am extremely new to this and didn't want to brick the systems. I must admit, this is fun to learn how to do. Thank you for the reply! :D

Are you okay @NightShadow8599 ? @saltysalamander did not mean to offend anyone. There's no shame in being a noobie. IT's just a phase you grow out of with experience.

I apologize for calling myself a noob. I really didn't mean to cause a ruckus.

I believe I did in a previous post on the first page. I'm sorry you thought I was making fun of newbies. I am extremely fresh faced to this all.

You have nothing to apologies for. Each and every one of us on this forum has been a noob at one point. There are various shades and levels of newbiness. It's how you carry yourself and conduct with others that matter. So long as you learn and ask insightful questions (after trying your hands at searching first), then it's okay not to know something.

Internet communication can be taken the wrong way because of the lack of context or misinterpretation. I think we need to take a step back, breathe, and continue figuring out what the schmuck update 11.7 does in terms of CFW>.

Read the OP. Both Luma and NTR work perfectly fine.

Backup, drag and derp the latest v9.0 luma's boot.firm on the root of SD card if you want to update while you're at it.
https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/releases/tag/v9.0

Also might want to update boot9strap to v1.3:

And GodMode9 too (luma/payloads folder):
