I'm sorry for being such a noob, but I can't get FBI to work in reiNAND (I nuked the old emuNAND so it's 9.0.0-20U). I keep getting the "cannot initialize AM service" error. Can anyone please help me?

Edit: I've tried the newest version of Pasta and still the same error. I'm attempting the latest stable release.

Edit2: I've managed to launch the latest stable release selecting the "give me some pasta" option and then started FBI and I get the same error.

Edit3: rxtools never gets me any further than the standby screen so that may not be an option.

Edit4: I decided to ensure that I have the latest version of FBI and now when I try to install BBM to my emuNAND within reiNAND, I get an error saying that the install failed.

The screen pretty much says this:

Install failed!

Getting exactly the same thing with FBI launched via ninjhax 1.1b with Emunand booted via Cakesfw and reinand on a new3ds @ 9.0.0-20E
Seems like I just cannot inject FBI into my emunand without at least installing FBI on sysnand first and creating a new emunand afterwards ... at least i have not found a way yet. I would really like to just not touch my sysnand at all ;)

That was what I had to do. I've touched my sysnand a few times and the only lasting things I did was apply the nds flashcard fix and the mset exploit, which are rather minor. And that's not including the legit/clean roms. Basically, fairly minor things, really.

You can actually use PastaCFW to install FBI on sysnand :O

[EDIT]

Know that i think about the statement i have just given to you earlier, i considered it may be a good idea to add that of course it will actually only run when you are using it after booting PastaCFW every time. This is because of the digital signatures which FBI obviously does not have.

Long story short: you will need something that is disabling the digital signature checks of the firmware.

I know that all of this can be quiet confusing, but maybe this guide can help to get you started: https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutoria...to-new3ds-fw-ver-9-2-with-ninjhax-1-x.397794/

Especially #12. is interesting in this context, i guess :)

Hello.
I have a question about FBI.
I made a mistake and tried to install FBI in sysNAND. Now i have a blank icon, it stays for a second and disappear. Is it possible to delete this wrong cia from sysNAND?

That happens when you install an out of region game. Use free multi patcher or rxtools to enable region free and the icon should appear. Then you can go to system settings-data management and delete it from there or if you know the title id you can delete it from sysnand with fbi but this is much risky.

THX for your reply. But the blank icon is FBI itself. when i boot in rx mode sysNAND i have four black icons.

You can use FBI 1.4.14 to highlight FBI 1.4.14's CIA file to see FBI 1.4.14's title ID in the top left corner

:P
THX Dude!!!
I am so blind!:unsure:

Does anybody know why i have three black blank icon when i boot in RX Mode sysNAND?
I have an O3DS with Firmware 4.5 and the latest Emunand with my Gateway.
This three black icons only appear in RX Mode sysNAND and are not bootable. They don´t disturb me but i really want to know what they are.

Dumb question, but I was told that to update a .CIA (wanted to update RetroArch), I just install the newer version and it would overwrite the older one. I need the newest version of FBI for setting up the MSET exploit for RxTools. Can I update FBI.cia using the .CIA, or do I need to download and use the .3DSX version? Basically, can I update using the exact same copy of FBI that I want to update, or do I need a separate copy?

    Exactly.

    Thor from "Pirate Software" said its just better to pirate the game than buy from a keyshop if you care about the devs

    at least on steam

    since the key gets bought with a stolen credit card
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    there's nothing to charge back because the keys don't cost them money to generate in the first place

    Most these crack sites have dead links anymore or the crack don't even work
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    @The Real Jdbye What don't you get? If someone use a stolen creditcard. Then sell said key on G2A. If I the dev sold the game key, I will get the charge back cost. That's how it works, it doesn't matter if I generate 300 keys if 300 of them are bought with stolen credit cards. I never said it was on Steam, but its the dev that gets hit. There is a ton of stories out there if you google it.
