Homebrew [Release] FBI - Open source CIA installer

[MelonGx]

Question: Does FBI support 128-512GB SD/MicroSD?

Devmenu & BBM freeze on opening themselves.

It does for most things, just tried with eshop and it gave me the options. Tried with 4.5 MSET (currently using 6.x MSET) and it does not give me the option.

Raw Eror: 0xd8e08027
Module: MODULE_NN_AM (0x20)
Level: LEVEL PERMANENT (0x1b)
Summary: SUMMARY_INVALID_ARGUMENT (0x7)
Description: DESCRIPTION_INVALID_TITLE_VERSION (0x27

The leftmost letters are all off screen (too far to the left), and the end of the description line is cut off as well. I *think* that last number is a 7...

Now that I see it's only certain files doing this (forgot what else I was playing with last night, but eshop certainly gives me the option to install anyway) it's not really a big deal.

Sounds to me like a bad CIA file? Not 100% sure.

If the 3DS itself supports it, I don't see why not, but I haven't personally tested with anything above 64GB.

I've re-installed my emunand after swapping to a bigger SD card. Any reason why every CIA gives me this error?

Install failed!
Could not install app.
Raw Error: 0xd8e0806d
Module: AM (0x20)
Level: Permanent (0x1b)
Summary: Invalid Argument 90x7)
Description: Unknown Description (0x6d)

Unfortunately, not every 3DS error code is documented, so I currently have no idea what that error means. That looks like an old version of FBI though, so updating it might be worth a try.

The .cia installs fine after deleting the newer version first. And of course works... But that is the latest FBI release (1.4.4). May have been the .3ds version, if that makes a difference.

Devmenu freezing on 128-512GB SD/MicroSD seems to be caused by Devmenu's incompatibility with >=64GB free space.
I wondered if FBI has the same problem or not.

Just tried with a 256GB SD card (O3DS). FBI Works fine here. DEVMENU errored out and forced a reboot. Guess you're right...

But if you can run Ninjhax, why don't you just get a CFW or a Gateway to use it?

Because I have Sky3ds and I'm on 9.5

Sky3DS still cannot install .cia after all that time? It's still way behind Gateway

Yeah, and now with the new anti-piracy checks will be behind every piracy solution.

Anyway, It seems Smea enables the AM service to his Save manager in Ninjhax 2.0.

What? The Sky 3DS doesn't rely on a hack to work. It was made ONLY to play .3ds roms.

I hope you realize that enabling AM service means jack shit when signature checks aren't removed.

Same as above. It doesn't require an exploit. That's why it loads .3ds on 9.9 SYSNAND, which is WAY AHEAD of Gateway. I don't need no stinking Gateway to install a .cia! (but I do own one )

I tried with the most recent FBI version. I deleted it, and, using the Safety FBI method, not even the FBI CIA will install. I'm getting this error with it:

Install failed!
Could not install app.
Raw Error: 0xc8e08001
Module: AM (0x20)
Level: Status (0x19)
Summary: Invalid Argument 0x7)

There must be soemthing wrong with my emuNAND or sysNAND, but this is the third time I've gone through all the steps and it only worked the very first time properly before I shifted SD cards.

FBI has been updated to 1.4.5. The changes are minor, only ctrcommon was changed.

Which does what?

Just wanted to know what to look out for

There aren't really any noticeable changes. It's all internal code that I just wanted up to date.

Not too long later, FBI 1.4.6 has been released, this time with a notable bug fix.

• Fix black screen when resuming from the home menu.

Oh great. fixed the GPU rendering issue. I'll have to try this version first thing when I wake up.

Thanks for the update

I've dealt with it before. But now I have 1.4.4 installed and decided to upgrade my O3DS to 9.2 and install the 4.x MSET. I wasn't able to do it without manually deleting it first... Not that the end result was what I wanted anyway. It looks like the Gateway launcher won't work on 9.2 O3DS through 4.5 MSET. I'd be curious to know if anybody here has a different experience...

Gateway does not work via 4.5 MSET on O3DS, but you can always use RxTools 3.0 with it. I see no reason why you should use the 4.x MSET over the 6.x MSET as RxTools supports both and 6.x MSET is newer.
I currently use a 9.0 O3DS with 6.x MSET downgrade and RxTools 3.0 MSET payload along with Spider exploit bookmark for Gateway and another bookmark to reinstall the MSET payload for whenever I play DS mode carts or flashcarts on it.

Hi,

I have setup emunand on my SD card and succesfully started Reinand.

I am now trying to install a CIA using FBI.
As I understood I first need to start Reinand > Run CN -> load FBI from homebrew loader.

When I select a CIA file I get "Could not start the AM service"...
According the first post is would seem that I am over firmware 9.2 but that is not the case.

Any suggestion ...

Ninjhax 1.1 is needed. Ninjhax 2.0 does not work for CFW and CIA installation, even on 9.2 or below.

I have n3ds xl 9.0.0.20 EU, If I am able to start Reinand that should mean that I am using the kernel exploit ?

The strange thing is that is I run Pasta > CN to load FBI I get the error "Database does not exist" / "Invalid database".
I should have "title.db" and "import.db" file on my sysnand but I might need to recreate empty files.

I have a new 3ds zelda edition, I was wondering if I should first format the system and the sd to remove the zelda and tamagochi game and then remake my emunand.
I have noticed as well that if I have wifi on Reinand does not let me run ninjahx again and start the internet explorer ...
