1. Power off your console
1. Hold the (Select) button
1. Power on your console while still holding the (Select) button

::: warning
If you see the Luma3DS configuration screen or any other custom menu (e.g. GodMode9, Decrypt9WIP), STOP - you already have custom firmware! Continue from [here](checking-for-cfw#what-to-do-next).
