Homebrew HomeBrew Loader Poll "Success rate"

[heartgold]

Update: The issue has been resolved, the devs have updated their codes.


Homebrew loader is out, it's loading great for most people, however there are a few of us out there that no matter what, the HBL isn't working, and is left hanging after clicking install. This is a poll to gather data to see how wide spread the issue is.

Seems like most of people having problems is resolved by troubleshooting the SD card. Format your SD with "guiformat" and then try again. Or format your SD with the switch itself and then try. I've seen this work for multiple users. It has to be fat32

Saw this suggested somewhere else to reformat via the switch, tried that, still 2011-0301. Saw this decided i would check and sure enough It was exfat so i used guiformat to format to fat32 still, 2011-0301. Open to any other suggestions.

I tried formatting the SD card twice but I still can't get it to work... (my SD card could be bad, but I don't have a spare micro SD card to test with).

This is probably a blessing in disguise TBH since I need to focus on my studies anyway.

for me it works using an exfat formatted sd, so fat32 is not needed on the switch.

Might wanna edit that poll question to "If you have 3.0.0, have you installed HBL successfully?"
There are many trolls out there who would use "Well, I got X.X.X, not 3.0.0, so no!" as an excuse.
Trust me on this one.

formatted to fat32 and it still stuck on the pegaswitch screen

 

[Tomobobo]

So is it exfat users having success while fat32 users aren't or something? When I put an exfat or large enough ntfs drive into the switch it asks for an update. I have been warned it could contain a firmware update idk how. I'm just wondering if we need that part of the firmware that supports sdxc to make this work?

Infinite PegaSwitch screen and whatever I do - the result is the same.

User @ballcity has a good theory:

For what it's worth, I was able to fix this. However, I am not about to go through writing a full tutorial.

In a nutshell, you have to install the 'vanilla' Pegaswitch console. Once that is done and connected to your switch, you have to run the SetupNew.js by executing "eval usefulscripts/SetupNew.js" followed by running "runnro installer.nro", but first copying the HBL installer.nro to your pegaswitch root directory.

Of importance here: SetupNew.js sets your switch to allow unsigned NRO execution (ease_nro_restriction -> 1). It looks like this is a permanent setting on the switch. I had to run this twice, and the installer.nro twice. The first time I ran SetupNew.js it said "ease_nro_restriction" was 0 when I started. Fine. The second time I ran it, it said "ease_nro_restriction" was 1 when I started. Woah! It must save this setting for good. This also feeds into the hypothesis that, for those that have this WORKING, probably ran Pegaswitch before and had this NRO setting set to "1" properly before.

It is said that HBL should be setting this to "1" by itself. However, I just don't think appears to be the case.

Anyway, once the above is done and you get your "1337" screen from running installer.nro through vanilla pegaswitch (took me two tries), you can move back to the normal HBL method, click "Run" and eventually will be able to access HBL through your Albums page.

You guys should try the post above it will fix the issues we believe.

i heard that in order for it to install, you must have had pegaswitch installed before installing HBL.
has anyone been able to instal HBL without installing pegaswitch???

User @ballcity has a good theory:

This was just tested with two people in the Reswitched discord and it instantly fixed the issue for both of them, pretty sure this is the cause right here. Those who have successfully run HBL are the ones who ran PegaSwitch by itself in the past.

Makes sense. I used a Pegaswitch server to reset the RTC so I could play FLOG. The first thing the server ran was SetupNew.js.

Surprise surprise, it’s working now. Knew there was a problem before, glad it’s fixed now.

Did you do it with the provided DNS, or did you set up your own DNS server?

The fix is on the server side, same DNS and same file.
