Homebrew [Release] FBI - Open source CIA installer

[jimmyleen]

Not with fbi 2.0+

Yes it can be done I did just that a few days ago, you have to use socketpunch in order to do it though.

 

[I pwned U!]

I want to take a moment to apologize for an error of mine.

It turns out that the 3DS that I tested CTR NAND editing with did not brick. The first few times that I attempted to boot it, the backlight and wireless switch light never initialized, so I thought that it had bricked. I tried it again last night, and it finally booted! The only difference was that my SD card was not inserted last night, so maybe FBI affected my SD card in some weird way, because I never had this problem before.

It is also worth noting that I never had homemenuhax installed before or after the incident.

I am sorry for my error, and I want to thank @Steveice10 for continuing to make FBI the ultimate 3DS title manager!

@Steveice10 I don't know if anyone has contacted you about this yet but I will post my comment about it here. So I was wondering if would be alright to ask about adding a option for fbi to auto shut down after installing cia files. And while I am at it could the auto shut off feature be turned on and off or enabled or disabled by the user? The turn on or off feature could perhaps be implemented the same way Aureinand options can be enabled and disabled when pressing select + A button.

I got the idea from a reddit topic ---> https://www.reddit.com/r/3dshacks/comments/4gazdf/suggestion_fbi_should_have_a_auto_shutdown_when/

Yes.

Just with the latest Socket punch and FBI?

Delete system32

Well it's not the fault of FBI. Go talk to the creator of SocketPunch. They might be working in android. They might not.

I'm unsure whether this was already asked/answered:

If I choose CDN installation of a legally owned title - is the result the same as if used the eShop to (re)install the title? As in all signatures etc. intact?

I have EUR N3DS XL on Luma3DS(5.2) 10.7 sysnand, and I use FBI 2.1.1
Today it froze in the middle of installataion a CIA from my SD card (the latest kirby game cca 700mb). I had to force shut down console.
So, what happens to the incomplete instalation files? The half of game that did install...is it still on my SD card...?
And BTW BBM installed the game perfectly.

Just reinstall the game and you should be good, it overwrites any installs of the same title

Love the release so far. But an option install the tickets and then from CDN AiO would be great! That way we dont have to manually search the tickets that are installed in the "Tickets" section.

@Steveice10
The program is excellent with everything I wonder if you can for the following function.
Having extracting the .CIA files in RAR or zip in 3ds own.
It would be possible to put this tool ?

 

[nwhiteman42]

Could you put an option to install a ticket and download the game with the same button for people who have a lot of tickets so people don't have to find the ticket again?

 

[morvoran]

If we delete a bad ticket using FBI while in sysnand, will that corrupt the file where the tickets are stored(ticket.db I'm guessing?) causing sysnand to brick or cause the file to be deleted by the system, or is it safe?

I know people who tried installing game update cia's with bad tickets in sysnand, and they are unable to install the updates for those games from the eshop now. I don't want to tell them to try this if it will have bad results.

Would be super slow

It doesn't corrupt anything, I have done it a few times now

@morvoran FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAMING GODS DO NOT DELETE ALL THE TICKETS ON YOUR SYSTEM.

CHECK, DOUBLE-CHECK AND TRIPLE-CHECK THE TITLE ID BEFORE YOU DELETE ANYTHING

Haha, no, I would never do that. Since I'm strictly a CFW/CIA guy, I have no reason to install anything under sysnand or delete any tickets.

I just know people who had installed game update cia's on their sysnand thinking that they would work with their retail carts. They were not able to get the valid updates off the eshop since they had installed the updates via cia's and had invalid tickets. Now I can tell them that they can uninstall the invalid tickets from their sysnand and try again through the eshop.

It's just a fair natured warning as I already know of 3 cases minimum where someone has actually deleted every single ticket and bricked their device...
