Homebrew New 2DS XL 11.5

[superferret1]

So my new system came in today, and I was wondering if someone could point me to where I find out how to install CFW on this device. I want to be able to install FBI on this device later. The device is a New 2DS XL and its on version 11.5.0-38U

No, nintendo has added updates to their native_firm on the consoles and have patched anything to that extent. This is whats left that they cannot touch.

No, Won't work.

No, Won't work.

ok then, can I get only homebrew without CFW the file way?

If you have access to an entry point. Your best bet is to drop a few bucks on a DS flash cart, and hack it. The method is actually way simpler than it used to be.

Last question, can I use my previously hacked old 3ds, and force its software on the new 3ds

No. Unsigned titles will not work on the unhacked console. I'm not fully aware if DSiWareHax is still a thing. I'd recommend you get an NTRBoot-compatible cartridge. It's by far the easiest method, and it is cheap.

You can use the dsiware transfer to allow cfw on your second system. But from what I have seen ninty will not transfer back the NNID to the old system if any of the dsiware titles are linked to your account.

There is also https://3ds.guide/installing-boot9strap-(dsiware-game-injection-list) for the list of games you can use and https://3ds.guide/installing-boot9strap-(dsiware-game-injection) for the process of this.

It would be unable to read the Nintendo 3DS folder meaning no games or saves from the old one would be useable (they won't show up on the home menu). Homebrew from the homebrew launcher will work (if you have a way of accessing homebrew on the new console).
