after updating a few ios versions with dop-ios, anytitle deleter now gives the es_identify error ret=-1017 upon startup. afterwards, it seems to load correctly. i heard downgrading ios36 would fix the error, but when trying to downgrade, it gives me another error. how can i fix this?

ES_Idenitfy patching could help, maybe not. For me for example it works, for others it's reported that the 2nd ES_Idenitfy fails with a patched IOS.

Anyways, you want AnyTitle Deleter? How about using AnyTitler Delter mod that allows which IOS to use. And just use an IOS that works for it. The cIOS for example works for ATD mod, but also a fully patched IOS36 you can install with Trucha Bug Restorer.

A downgrade of IOS36 would help, but i won't tell what's required for it, as a downgrade of higher IOS does not work on new Wiis. (IOS15 downgrade does)

Also, if you want a patched IOS36, but get the upside-down HBC issue, install the latest unpatched IOS61 and reinstall the HBC.

right, it's kind of annoying to see that error message all the time, but my main concern is that I can't install/update any ios as it leads the the ret=-1017 error too,

ok, like i said, the error in any title deleter probably means nothings, just press any button to get past it (i think home exits the apps even at this point)

if u are using dop ios and getting an error i suspect your CIOS 249 wasn't installed properly. U can try using dop ios mod and load a different ios, but u should still fix your IOS249, as this is very widely used.

I get this error with any title deleter db, and i know i have the trucha bug in IOS 36 and 249 for a fact. I can also confirm that after this error, the app runs just as it is supposed to (ie. it successfully deletes whatever i tell it to)
oh on ATD thats a different story.

I think it has something to do with NAND permissions

but the app will still work fine like you said.

That's why i said AnyTitle Detler mod, that takes advantage from the nand permissions and only uses one ES_Identify. Using it 2 times(like original ATD does) seems to only work properly with the old IOS36.

so you recommend using any title deleter mod why? Besides an annoying error msg, whats wrong with any title deleter db? And if using any title deleter mod, u recommend we use an IOS that has the trucha bug and the ES_Identify bug (and nand permissions?)? So probably IOS36 for most of us right?

EDIT:nvm, I'll just keep using any title deleter DB (if it aint broke, dont fix it right?)

ok, i successfully restored the trucha bug again (thanks for the help btw), but when loading anytitle deleter mod, it still loads with a ret=-1017 error and then proceeds to load correctly. I'm pretty sure ios36 is trucha patched.

edit: ios36 should also have the es_identify patch too

after searching around, is it possible that the latest ios36 produces this error in anytitle deleter mod, and I should downgrade the ios?

Did you try a cIOS or a FULLY patched IOS36 from Trucha Bug Restorer? For me that even works in the original AnyTitle Delter which is strange. But ATD mod should really work with it.

Downgrade is not an option, because IOS36 downgrade does not work on half the Wiis.

I'm pretty sure my ios36 is fully patched, there's only the es_identify and the trucha bug right? However, my ios36 is updated so is it possible that anytitle deleter/ anytitle deleter mod displays the error message if your ios36 isn't v1042?

when fixing the trucha bug, I followed the guide here. I remember TBR giving 3 patch options, and I said yes to all of them. is there more to patch besides those three?

edit: after using tbr 1.1 and enabling all 3 options, and then running atd mod; it seems to load with an error, but then goes on to load correctly very fast that I can't read the message (I'm not sure if its an error, but I don't remember seeing that before updating ios36) previously, I had to press "a" a few times to get atd mod to load.
