Homebrew [Release] FBI - Open source CIA installer

[jefffisher]

I asked on the noob paradise thread and some one said that fbi doesnt work on higher firmwares. Im on 9.2 and wanted to go to 10.6 Is there any credibility to this?

it will work just fine if installed to emunand, or on cfw. a retail updated console no it will not run on 10.6

I meant updating the emunand firmware. Alright so im good?

yeah you're good just make sure you already have fbi installed on your console before updating.

Somebody posted this in another thread, any truth to this claim?

What CIA manager do you use? I've read that the eshop problem is due to updated tickets, but since FBI removes tickets if you uninstall a CIA file you can effectively uninstall any previously installed updates.

i saw this exact problem at /hbg/ on 4chan.

Its about not being able to update the cia if you updated via fbi correct? Just use eshop for updates id guess, unless theres any reason not to

I've heard that you can't update through eshop if you've previously updated through a cia

What? No.

This is correct. We already established this in your other thread.

But this is irrelevant, because according to you FBI deletes the bad ticket when you uninstall a title. I think you're talking shit wrong.

So I came here to the FBI thread to ask the one person (@Steveice10) who can say definitively either way.

Edit: Only just saw your reply in the other thread saying you were only repeating something you saw someone else say.

The guy I was quoting recommended using the eshop for updates, hence my statement about why you may not be able to unless he knew a workaround.

In the other thread I never specifically made the claim that FBI deletes the bad ticket. I stated that I read it somewhere by another member and that it could be entirely untrue. I'm not trying to talk shit.

That's a bold claim to make. I don't think it's in any way true..

FBI does not currently delete tickets, however the ability to do so is in the code rewrite currently on GitHub. When I'll get around to finishing the rewrite, I'm not sure. Some issues I've encountered have made working on it a drag.

Woah.. I hope you manage to do this. This will essentially clean the ticket.db from any console ID specific tickets or 0000000 ones (to each their own I suppose)

Something seems wrong with compiling FBI. Devkitpro is installed (which includes devkitarm), citro3ds is installed (make install). FBI source (make) gets me this:

It seems a variable declaration is missing.

Also while I'm at it, I was trying to compile CTRXplorer by @d0k3 a couple of days ago, which requires citrus from your repository. after installing citrus, compiling CTRXplorer gets me this:

There is no "tools" directory in devkitpro/citrus .. Is this a citrus problem?

Thanks

you need to install steveice's fork of libctru to compile the latest FBI

@Steveice10, maybe the make_base file is elsewhere now?

Thanks, I had Smea's libctru .. Now that I installed that, compiling was working fine up until it tries building the 3dsx file, I get the:
"3dsxtool.exe has stopped working" from windows, and it gives the error in the picture.
However, when I type make again.. it completes? I assume this isn't normal?

@Steveice10
Please note the citrus issue in my post before this one

Thanks again

citrus no longer contains my build tools. They are in a separate repository now, generally intended for inclusion as a submodule.

Any chance you direct me to those build tools then, since that's whats required to build CTRXplorer?

Also, any idea why 3dsxtool.exe is crashing when compiling FBI? it's a minor issue since running make again apparently generates the rest of the files, but I'm not sure about the validity of the 3dsx file.

Thanks

I just realized buildtools was a submodule in FBI, as well as it's own repository (I thought you meant Citrus was it's own repo lol), but I'm not sure what to do with it. I tried simple rename to tools in put it inside the citrus folder, but as expected, that failed

@d0k3
Can you maybe include this submodule in CTRXplorer? That would emit the citrus requirement and we would just git clone recursive CTRXplorer and make release?

@Steveice10 Someone said FBI was working on deleting tickets on ticket.db.
Is that true?
I just tried System Transfer but unfortunately it could not remove fake tickets from ticket.db.
