UPDATE: I can 100% confirm that 11.17.0-50 works with Gateway after using the patch provided on the first post.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE BACKUPS OF YOUR EMUNAND, BECAUSE IF YOU BRICK, THEN YOU CAN EASILY RECOVER A WORKING ONE AT ANY TIME.
Requirements:
- Modded 3DS with the latest B9S and Luma3DS (setup to work with GW).
- EmuNAND with a compatible system version that works with GW (e.g. 4.5 -> 9.2).
- Gateway Launcher.dat (google).
- 11.17.0-50 firmware (google).
- A backup of your EmuNAND (VERY important).
Setup:
1. Download 123ab's Gateway package.
2. Download the latest GodMode9 package (as of writing, the latest is v2.1.1): https://github.com/d0k3/GodMode9/releases
3. For @123ab's package, copy only the "updates" folder onto the root of your SD card and rename it to something like "patch". Then, download the 11.17.0-50 update for your own console and region (you can find it in 'the usual places'), and extract the (.cia) files to a new folder on your SD card; call it "updates".
4. Extract the "boot.firm" file into "luma/payloads/" on your SD card and rename the file to "GodMode9.firm".
5. Copy the "gm9" folder to the root of your SD card.
6. Insert the SD card into your 3DS and load up "GodMode9".
7. Select the first drive, which is your console's SD card. Select the folder containing your system update, highlight the first file in the folder, hold L, press Right, and press A.
8. Select 'CIA image options' > 'Install game image' > 'Install to EmuNAND'. Perform the button combination you see on-screen to proceed with the update.
9. When asked to relock the write permissions, press B.
10. (For the patch, perform the same steps as 7-8.)
11. Reboot your system and boot into Gateway. If the HOME menu appears, then you have successfully upgraded to 11.17.
FAQ:

Hi guys. I can’t access to my emuNAND… Does anybody know a valid browser exploit? I’m trying to access my emuNAND with this old method, but every web addresses I found are dead or don’t work (I don’t have Sighax, B9S or Luma. I only have my Gateway card with the valid archives in the SD: Launcher.dat, etc…)
Why not just setup BootCTR9 to boot into Gateway through the Luma3DS chainloader?
