How to Play Games Online Before 11.4 Without Ctr Httpwn (CFW needed)

Now some of you may be refusing to update because maybe you want to keep NTR streaming, perhaps you have a Gateway emuNAND, or you're just stubborn.
Recommended(blue is required):
  • A (new)3DS that has arm9 access (emuNAND, A9LH, etc..)
  • A custom firmware with the ability to install and run unsigned cias ... preferably Luma
  • NAND dumping tool: Decrypt9/Hourglass9
  • 11.0 or higher is recommended, I haven't tested on anything below and I'm not sure if it will work.
  • FBI
  • 3DSNUS
Firstly, you want to create a NAND backup with hourglass9, or any tool that let's you dump your NAND. You want to do this in case something goes terribly wrong. You are going to be installing a title into your NAND, so it's a good practice to keep regular backups so you could always roll back. This is recommended, but not required.
Once that's all good, you can go to your computer and backup your NAND.bin to your computer, then download 3DSNUS.
Once it's downloaded, extract it into a folder you know the location of so that you can get to it easily. Then you run it, and inside the textbox, you want to enter in
11.4.0-37X where X is the region of your console. You can check the region from System Settings. For this tutorial, I'll be downloading EUR, so I can use it on my European emuNAND.

Make sure that "Pack as CIA" and your type of 3DS is selected. Click BEGIN DOWNLOAD and give it a couple minutes as it downloads the entire 11.4 update to the folder you created. You have to download the entire update since I couldn't out how to individually download titles with this, so please bare with me.
Once it's done downloading, you should see a new folder titled 11.4.0-37X , (X is the region) go in the folder, and find '0004013000003202.cia' copy that file into a easy to find location on your 3DS' SD card.

Next, you want to install the CIA you just placed with FBI. If it errors, try again. If you somehow brick, make sure the .cia isn't corrupted and flash back a NAND dump.

When it succeeds, reboot your 3DS and you should be able to play online without having to update or use ctr-httpwn.
Please don't hold me accountable for lost/stolen/bricked/blown up 3DS's, you're following this guide at your own risk.

Also, this guide isn't recommended since it's called Frankenfirmware, but this allows you to go online without launching anything extra, so it's your choice if you want a couple less steps to play Pokemon online.

An alternative method for Luma 3DS users would be to just update Luma to 7.0+ by using Luma Updater

Is this procedure safe?
Simply install it like a CIA and then load it and go online?But after downloaded the 11.4 on my pc I've found only much little files and not a real application

If you are using a cfw you should just update your cfw to latest version and directly update 11.4 from system settings.

Thank you so much for this! I'm on GW 11.2 and I can finally wonder trade again. Made a backup of my emunand with the emunand tool just in case.
If I install this, can I update the FW normally once GW gives 11.4 support?
Worst case scenario we could manually backup all our saves and restore the emunand backup we made here, at least I think that's how it works. Not sure if restoring emunand via the tool actually resets the saves as well though, but there's no real harm in extra backups.

While this is a really interesting way to get online, I wanted to try the Luma way first but I'm having trouble getting that to work. After reading the post about how you can get online using Luma without needed to go to CTR I did everything I needed to do to upload Luma and change to B9S. However, it is still saying I can't get online until I update. My 3ds is on version 11.2.0 (mainly bc of NTR streaming) and I feel like I may need to update to have the bypass work. Do I? Did I miss something like updating Luma and changing from A9LH to B9S?
