Homebrew Can you install HiyaCFW yet?

[Ryccardo]

I am curious, when will HiyaCFW be released?

You can build it right now - but the same can't be said of RocketLauncher, a prerequisite to running it on real hardware (at the very least)

I've fixed it for you. I've used fwtool to flash my DSi a number of times now and I've not bricked.

Please don't mess with dodgy forks of fwTool, they are dangerous in the extreme and not bricking is largely a matter of good fortune. The more you do this the more likely it is you *will* brick.

I'm working on safety features for fwTool in a private repository now mainly because of people doing stupid things with the public code because they're too impatient to wait for things to be done right.

no, they are not! not following the exact procedures described here WILL cause trouble

And following the exact procedures there still has the potential to cause trouble. You've *way* jumped the gun on making a guide.

Thanks a lot for that! Safety first

The hype created with the July 2nd 2017 post of this exploit:

https://gbatemp.net/threads/announcing-rocketlauncher-the-first-exploit-with-unlocked-arm7.476288/

gave me the perfect excuse to clean my DSi up and experiment NAND dumping with ugopwn, downgrade guides, no$gba NAND testing and DsiWare backup installing just to have a "1.4U" system. Didnt know how dangerous it was, by now i´ve flashed my nand 3 times "succesfully", maybe if i knew before i would still have a 1.45U Dsi Xl but suddenly the scene grew and the tide was high so i took the chance.

Now the waters have calmed down and it seems RocketLauncher an Hiya CFW are farther than I thought and they were, there was no need to hurry that much.

Is there a specific problem with them? Or just that the likelihood that I'll do something stupid goes up the more times I run it? I automated the process of encrypting the nand, creating a version for no$gba and creating the version for the sd card. So I took the human error out of the equation.

I'm in the same position as you, but I don't regret it. I had sudokuhax and a few bits of home brew on my DSi from back in the day and it was interesting putting on some of the other exploits. I bought an NTR cart especially, which I could have waited for (hopefully it will be compatible).

I learnt a lot in the process & it persuaded me to reinstall devkitpro again. I'm even tempted to get a cheap DSi XL and try a hardmod on it.

There's an issue with writing to NAND with the older code that occasionally causes the system to lock. It's purely a matter of luck whether or not you hit it. This is one of the reasons why the original fwTool has no ability to write and it seemed more prudent to work on accessing the nand filesystem using the built in hardware encryption.

You reinstalled devkitARM and associated libraries. devkitPro produces and maintains these tools & libraries. You no more install devkitPro than you install Microsoft or Adobe.

A hardmod probably isn't necessary but of course if you want to practice soldering skills then don't let that stop you.

It's probably worth mentioning that sudokuhax (or indeed any of the DSiWare hax) already gives you all the access you really need for homebrew

It was fun doing it, just felt the chill of the posibility of bricking. I also want to hardmod my regular DSI, no flipnote installed on it
