Homebrew [Release] FBI - Open source CIA installer

[astronautlevel]

weirdly it fails when i try to install game cias... i had to manually copy to the sd card and install through there

Which version of FBI and sockfile are you trying?

 

[migles]

Likely 512gb..until they make larger SD cards.

of course it will fail if the file is bigger than 4gb... because fat 32

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

Which version of FBI and sockfile are you trying?

both from the first post.. (last oficial versions)

Update: building the latest sockfile.jar does work with network installation.

Built version: https://mega.nz/#!D4IhzILB!HX4bYW89fZoW3CaAs-jIaCINgqs2t2ZYOqlWIV-L2q8

Yeah, it worked, but FBI still hangs when trying to exit it.
I need to turn off my system.

We've confirmed it was a problem with his build and not with FBI itself.

@Steveice10 I keep getting errors since(I believe) you introduced this commit: https://github.com/Steveice10/FBI/commit/644fddfe65bad2c375853c779497a00f5da6aa39

I compiled fine using smea's ctrulib when you were @ 140 and 143 commits. But when you reached 147 and now 154 I cannot compile at all.

This is the error I keep getting:

This is the error I keep getting:

Make sure you're using the most recent build of smea's ctrulib (Steveice10's pull request was implemented like two days ago), or you can use Steveice10's build of ctrulib. Otherwise, you won't be able to compile.

When I compiled FBI @ 140 and 143 commits I updated ctrulib from smealum as I saw Steve's commit was implemented. Now I see more commits have been merged so I'm compiling smea's ctrulib as we speak. I hope this is the culprit.

 

[Orkna]

Yes. You'll need to update to the latest ctrulib for FBI to build.

 

[fr3quency]

I went to Steve's ctrulib but I keep getting this error:
C:\Nintendo3DS\Sources\FBI>make
build/source/screen.o
source/screen.c:5:21: fatal error: citro3d.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make: *** [build/source/screen.o] Error 1

C:\Nintendo3DS\Sources\FBI>

I have citro3d in \devkitPro\ and \devkitPro\citro3d\ is in my PATH.

 

[Orkna]

And you have built citro?

 

[fr3quency]

And you have built citro?

Yes. I recompiled citro3d and pasted in \devkitPro\devkitARM\bin\ as @astronautlevel told me and it worked. I have no idea why it didn't work before as ....\devkitPro\ was in my PATH(I pasted citro3d in ...\devkitPro\ before and it did work when FBI was @ 140 commits)

Froze at "Map Complete."

The first version of the rewrite, FBI v2.0.0, is now released.

Features:

• Available as a CIA, 3DS, and 3DSX (<= 9.2: Stable Launch, <= Latest FW: Fairly Stable Launch).
• Browse and modify SD, TWL photos, TWL sounds, save data, and ext save data.
• Browse and modify CTR NAND, TWL NAND, and system save data, and dump the raw NAND image to "sdmc:/NAND.bin". (CIA/3DS ONLY)
• Delete, copy, and paste files and directories.
• Install and uninstall titles from a filesystem or over the network with sockfile.
• Browse and delete pending titles (downloaded updates, in-progress eShop titles, etc) and tickets.
• Customize appearance by placing replacements for RomFS resources in "sdmc:/fbitheme/".

Authors of utilities for network installation will need to update their tools for the new protocol. A utility must first write the number of CIA files being sent. For each file to send, FBI sends an acknowledgement byte to tell the sender that it is ready and willing to receive the file. After receiving this, a utility must send a 64-bit CIA file size, followed by the file's contents.

Please report any bugs you encounter. The rewrite has been put through decent bug testing so far, but some issues may have slipped through the crack. Let me know in detail of any that are encountered.

Can I install DLC / themes now or am I going to use BigBlueMenu still? Because I'd much rather use FBI.

You can try, but I haven't specifically tested or worked to solve it; either it was fixed by consequence or it's still broken. Not sure what's different about DLC yet.

EDIT: Also, if it doesn't work, could you report the error code + details if there are any?

EDIT2: Also released minor hotfix 2.0.1, which removes a no longer needed FS patch for archive permissions.

I'm not sure if its a problem my end but after injecting and booting the health and safety app it stays on the 3ds logo.

Not sure exactly how injection works with exheader flags and what not, but FBI proper works fine outside of injection, so I don't see it being FBI's fault.

latest version loads fine from the homebrew launcher but for some reason v2.0.0 and 2.0.1 get stuck on the 3ds logo when booting from the health and safety app with and without banner. I tried reinjecting again with v1.4.17 and that works.

Love the new look by the way.

i updated my heath and safety app with the newest version of fbi but it just hangs at the app boot screen

FBI injection is intended to be a stopgap, hacky measure to get a starter cia installer installed. It's not intended for everyday use as it's running from a corrupted title.
Just use the injected FBI to install the FBI 2.0 cia properly to the SD.
