Homebrew Can legit CIA's be tied to your nnid?

[Halvorsen]

Here. Legit CIAs do not get tied to your NNID, but you can redownload them from eShop unlike illegit CIAs. You also lose the ability to redownload if you use a different nand or console.

Yes, post edited. I was also corrected half an hour ago. My understanding was that it would not be linked to one's NNID.

That understanding is correct though. The TICKET is the only thing that matters. You can drop your ticket.db into any system with any NNID, and any pre-installed games will happily download from the eshop. Purchaced games will not (of course).

Slightly off topic (in conjunction with ticket.db): If I want to send my 3DS in repair, is it enough if I restore a pre-A9LH NAND backup, then do a System Format?

What if you just installed the legit CIA before linking a NNID to the console?

If you're super paranoid, I'd delete ticket.db (or inject a blank one) since I just refreshed my memory (looked at a decrypted nand dump) and verified that a system format doesn't clear the ticket.db. System format removes the /data/<ID1> folder and updates movable.sed, but /dbs is where ticket.db lives.

NNID has nothing to do with pre-installed (Read: legit.cia) games. At all.

So to summarize, if I download a legit CIA, I can get the games permanently on my nnid.
EDIT: SORRY, I wasn't reading properly! Consider this closed.

you can redownload pirated cias.

 

[Daniel Sahr]

you can redownload pirated cias.

Can you really! Could you explain how?

 

[cearp]

how or why?
if you are running hax, maybe without, i never really tried, you can redownload them.

Thanks! Is it safe to simply delete it? Will the 3DS boot afterwards?

oh no no, if you delete this/inject a blank one (how blank?) your system won't turn on - do not tell people to do this!
remember... all the system stuff's tickets are in there.
if the tickets are no longer there... no play time

Thanks! I had a feeling it's not that easy. What do you think is the best way to remove hax stuff from ticket.db (and from the whole 3DS)?

I tried (on cfw), no brick but nothing installed anymore, only slot-1 and any empty folders

you deleted the ticket.db from nand?

 

[Halvorsen]

you can redownload pirated cias.

No you cannot. They will fail at 99%.

 

[cearp]

No you cannot. They will fail at 99%.

do you know why they are failing at 99%?
because the key to decrypt the contents is incorrect in the tickets/cia you installed.
because you are using 'bad' cias, cias not made with my tool FunkyCIA, or newer gui versions like GroovyCIA/CoffeCIA
cias made using these tools are good because the contents are never decrypted, we rely on the deccryption key in the ticket, not predecrypted contents like other cia creation techniques.

don't say you cannot unless you really understand what is going on!
