What is a SOAP Transfer?
Why would you need one?

Region Changing a 3DS and the eShop

When you region change a 3DS/2DS, for example from Japan to the USA, and try to open the eShop, it will fail if the server has region specific "sticky" titles (from the former region), this causes most things related to the eShop to fail.

The following errors point to a broken eshop:

007-2001, 009-2001, 005-5958 (pokemon bank), 009-1003 (also needs a nnid removal after), 005-5602

SOAP Transfer

Utilizing various scripts, we perform a server side system transfer (what we call a SOAP Transfer, for the Simple Object Access Protocol Nintendo uses to communicate with the servers) from your system (the source) to a donor system (the target) utilizing unique files that identify your console to the server. This will clear the sticky titles and allow for the eShop, game updates, pokemon bank, and NNID related things such as downloading old purchases to function again.

Japanese consoles are generally cheaper and this process makes them act just like a US or EU console.

Supported Consoles: Nintendo 3DS (old), Nintendo 3DS XL (old), Nintendo 2DS (old), New Nintendo 3DS, New Nintendo 3DS XL, New Nintendo 2DS XL
