Homebrew [Release] CIAngel - download GOOD cias right on your 3ds :)

[Drakia]

Cakes has an optional sig patch cake if i'm not mistaken

but I have no 10.7 entry point

Ah right, I forgot Cakes lets you turn it off. Not sure if Luma allows that (Haven't been in my settings menu in a while, lol)

It doesn't. Its one of those Noob Proof things

@Drakia I just thought it would be one of those things that would be cool to test just to see if it would work somehow

Also Drakia and @cearp have y'all tried seeing if y'all can make this install tickets with your unique console if tied to it? I'm not sure if I'm getting my idea across, but it would be a neat idea. (Sorta like that personal CIA that you was trying to make Cearp)

yeah well the thing is it just won't install, i'm sure it is something on the fw side that needs to be patched out.
actually, i didn't test just the ticket installing, only whole cias, but i'm pretty sure it won't work because the ticket is the reason why the cia won't install.
if we change the ticket a little, the cia woudl install fine

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Ah, looks like that function was renamed in newer libctru versions to "AM_InstallTicketFinish". To build right now you'll need a version of libctru older than this commit: https://github.com/smealum/ctrulib/commit/b1f4f431e8238623cdf8d045a4c690b408483804

ok, i'lll update my libctru

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I would actually like to see someone try this. But it would probably only install the ticket...
So I want someone to try using this to install a ticket and then access the eshop and see if you can redownload the game without having a CFW.
Would be an awesome test.

the tickets are not legit, we need hacks to load them, it's that simple

So my dumb question could be the beginning of something major?

Dunno if I should feel special or like

Edit; Ninja'd.

Now I feel Facepalmy

Lol, don't feel bad, I normally do the same thing @cearp did where I reply one post at a time, far easier to collect my thoughts for each individual response. And with a thread that's as active as this one gets at times, it can lead to a lot of posts in a row

Mhh, one question (and no, I'm not going to browse 51 pages for answers haha)

Can Nintendo identify your console in the process of downloading or is this method as much of a hint to them as if you downloaded from your PC?
Bonus question: does a method exist to download CIAs from Ninty's CDN via PC?

we don't know what nintendo CAN do, but they have not really taken action against anyone yet for piracy, as long as 3ds piracy has existed, it seems.
some people took my tool and wrote stuff that uses my tool, some people rewrote my tool/idea but if you can use python you can play with FunKeyCIA yes. if not, use their other tools, there are literally like 5 or 6 i think, i don't know what to recommend since i never touched them but CDN-FX seems nice, it's in java and has a gui

FunKeyCIA for the last question.

Anything with signature patching. Personally I'm running a9lh w/ Luma3DS CFW on 10.7 sysnand.

When searching for a title (anything) with CIAngel 0.6, it shows a 'list' with 20 blank entries:

(big image alert)

Spoiler

My system: EUR n3DS | A9LH Luma3DS v5.4 @ sysNAND 10.7.0-32E (no bootmanager or emuNAND) | 8GB FAT32 formatted Toshiba Class 10/UHS-I, cluster size (currently) unknown

Do you have wings.json in the CIAngel folder?

 

[Matzeus]

Hey guys!
I have placed the wings.json file in the folder and i can find cias and also install them.
However i cant find the CIAs i want. For example "Zelda" just throws me out Tetris, Dr. Mario and other stuff. Am i doing sth wrong?

Same issue here. But I think this has to do with inputting "fuzzy" search terms. I've found out that unless I search for the game using the complete, entire title, it just spits out the same listing of a bunch of unrelated games (Tetris, 2048, etc. etc.).

 

[2manyGames2play]

I believe i can fly (problem solved )


@cearp Two things i've noticed:

- Search is a little funky i.e. i'm getting completely unrelated (random?) results than what i'm looking for
- You can't abort downloads/installations (a pain when encountering big titles)

Other than that it is great and there's no doubt it will become better with each update. TYVM!

 

[prototech]

I'm catching up on a lot of the ticket/CDN stuff so please excuse me if this has been asked already, because I searched around and had a hard time finding an answer. I noticed that CIAngel no longer downloads the ticket to the SD card and just simply installs them. Is there a way to backup these tickets? Now that we have the ability to do all this, I'd love to backup all my CIA's and ticket files to my PC if I can.

 

[bobfacemoo]

I'm not searching through 51 pages to try find the answer to this. xD

Does this work on say, a clean 10.5 sysNAND with just HBL access? If so I could use it to download VVVVVV and install V*hax since if I softbrick during downgrading to 9.2, I'll have to update to 10.7, and my 3ds is broken and doesn't read gamecarts so I'd more or less be screwed, so I wanna know if I could use this as a backup before I downgrade, if that'll even work? Haha

No that won't work, running CIAs downloaded/created with CIAngel requires CFW with signature patching.
However as far as I know, Browserhax still works on 10.5, so you can follow Plai's guide here: https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki
That will get you set up with a9lh and updated/patched SysNAND. Make sure to read and follow EVERY step exactly as it's spelled out. Also read the FAQ prior to starting, as it has answers for questions a lot of people run into during the process.

No. You need a custom firmware. Cia installation only works whit kernel access!

Yeah ik about A9, I have a 3DS kicking around which I installed A9 to. xD I just don't wanna softbrick this one and have to update to 10.7 to fix it as I can't run gamecards. Looks like I gotta take the risk though. xD

I find it strange that Nintendo have the GBA Ambassdor games on the server and they still haven't made them purchasable but yet again Nintendo doesn't like money
