Hacking (4.x only) CIA CFW Complete Guide

[drwhojan]

You know that your title.db that is form your 3DS is encrypted , you need first decrypted it , and then you can do things with it.

Yep, That is the only thing on how to work out how to do is decrypt the title.db and import.db ?, are is this not possible ...

import.db might be better to edit as it transfers the information from to the import to the title .

Cheers

If you mean by formatting your CFW it also formats your sysnand as well, then no, formatting your emunand will not touch your sysnand. Or if you mean that formatting your emunand will separate your nands, then yes.

To 'separate' your nands you need to format your sysnand.
Even doing a system format on the CFW will jusr delete all applications on the SD but won't create new IDs since it won't touch the sysnand's files.

I keep getting an error has occured, when I"m trying to launch the cfw for the first time, holding L

The launcher.dat you're using doesn't match with the rop installed.

EDIT:
Now what do I do if I just get the top screen blue and the bottom white?

Try again.

Try again.

I've done it hundreds of times. Sometimes the bottom screen is black, but most times just white. I can't try another SD becasue the one big one I have is broken and I can't find the stupid adapter I've seen millions of times just laying around, but when I need it it's fucking gone.

EmuNAND is not installed properly

Probably this, check out my Palantine CFW Setup Guide for proper installation instructions, assuming you're having trouble using another guide. Link is in my signature.

Wrong. Every nand has its own unique id.(the long digit filenames under the "Nintendo 3DS" directory.) When you format the nand, the id changes. Since your emunand came from your sysnand it shares the same id. When you format the emunand, it reassigns itself a new id, then when you plug your sd card into the formatted emunand, it creates a new directory in the "3ds" dir and leaves your sysnand directory alone.

CalebW hope you could help me here ?, since you are looking good at commands.

Can anyone help me figure out a command's for looking into my title.db ? , can't find any command's on web at all.

Assuming it could generate the 3ds title.db / titledb file's ?

Thought it may have been extdata_tool -listdb extdata title.db save.?

Attached tool, thanks in advance .

Give me some command to try ?, and I'll give it a go

Well, I've never messed with the 3ds datebase files, so I don't really know anything about them, but you will need to make sure they are decrypted using the SD_Decrypter in this forum(but you might not be able to do that if you separated your nands...don't know why)

Well, I tried all that, funny thing is the guide on the first page is missing a crucial step and the .bat file. But anyway, 20 tries later and it still isn't working.

Edit: Is a shitty SD card possibly to blame for it not loading at all? I've done everything right, formatted emunand over 9000 times with gateway launcher, ran it through the .bat file, injected with emunand tool, made a virgin sacrifice, killed 14 goats and pissed on Abraham Lincoln's grave. This motherfucker just refuses to boot, and this goddamn blue and white screen is making so mad I could just break this 3DS right in half and say fuck it all.

I personally recommend doing three things. First, reinstall the exploit with your NDS Flashcart. Next, unscrew the back-plate of your 3DS for easy access to the battery. And finally, try to run the exploit again and again. Each time it doesn't boot, just pull the battery and try again. If it fails more than 15 times in a row through doing this, then it's almost guaranteed that your NAND hasn't been injected or dumped correctly. Rebuild the NAND by formatting your SD(HC/XD) with the official SD Formatter utility, found in the link below.

https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/

And make sure that you click the option button, and in the "FORMAT SIZE ADJUSTMENT" drop-down box, select "YES". Then click format, and reinstall your EmuNAND with the Gateway EmuNAND installer. Just extract your new EmuNAND with EmuNAND Tool, drop it on the CFW batch file, and inject the CFW_NAND.bin file with EmuNAND Tool again. That should fix any potential issues with your EmuNAND image, and should let the CFW successfully boot up.

What GW launcher you are using on the microsd? Try diferent ROP. Try using GW or using Hombrew rop.

Hey what size should your nand.bin be? Mine is 943 MB. The resulting emunand.bin and cfw_nand are the same size too. Also, used gateway launcher to boot into classic mode emunand, and it worked, so that must mean I set it up right, doesn't it?

Same size here: 943MB. :/.
Using launcher GW 2.5. only cfw dont have gateway.

have someone around here tried installing a .cia of Monster Hunter 4 or Monster Hunter 4G?

I want to know if all games can be installed by this method, or at least those ones since I want to be able to transfer the save from MH4 to MH4G, and I think I can do it with one of the games installed on the 3DS while the other one being a card2 game, I still have to know to do both things, but at least I want to try to have a starting point...

oh and another thing: I read somewhere in a thread from here that .cia seems to be generic and works for all 3DS, is that really the case?

A cia is just an importable archive, kind of like wads for the wii, so yeah, works for all systems.

and then my question is, why haven't we seen downloads of the .cia instead of trying to make everyone the same .cia?

Because here you can't post roms = cia, use google , at last 8 games cia files are around and more...

 

[CalebW]

Same as why we can't post wads, it's still a rom, just in a different format.
