will it dump current and ready update?

 

[JK_]

will it dump current and ready update?

It dumps both the pending and current firmware. I've been updating this way for months, and I've found that sometimes both are required.

Thank you for your tool. the more choices the better

Do you have to go through the update procedure in settings to dump a pending update like firmwaredumper or does this work differently? Thanks it’s always nice to have other options with the app.

So to install this i will need a Chojdowoerqowio tool right?

 

[fOmey]

yes, it was a joke. I think the situation is fixing itself now seeing JK_ is working with you to see what's happening.
I'm just not sure it's the correct place to discuss JK_'s dumper bugs, as it's fOmey's dumper thread. but if it doesn't bother him, it's fine to stay here as there's no official thread yet.
there's nothing to take down, as it's not posted on gbatemp. I can't take down a github project. This thread is fOmey dumper which is doing good dumps, right?

Though, seeing one of the first comments on this thread, someone reported that a firmware dumped with this tool (firmware dumper, not BiggestDump) had different files than the firmwares found on the net before this tool was released.

who to trust? which dumper is good?

It does actually.. can you please cleanup all the off topic posts if you would be so kind,

Anything related to "JK" can be discussed on a thread dedicated to it, not hijacking this one.

Thank you.

I was trying to help you while you where not active I didn’t want users coming to this thread and downloading the commit on biggest dump by accident instead of firmware dumper when it clearly does not work properly I suggest you clear anything related to this app and let him move on. Firmware dumper I have tested thoroughly with pending and it dumps a 1:1 copy every time.

I moved the offtopic about BiggestDump to a new thread (not the officially created thread as it was created only after all these messages, otherwise it would mess the official thread's first post)

Agreed it should be separated. Thank you.

@fOmey i wanted to let you know I used your firmware dumper to dump v6.2.0 pending but it would not work with ChoiDujour when it checks the files it errors out at the end about missing meta file so it won’t let you install the pending firmware I went back and tried to dump the firmware again but every time it’s missing this important meta file I’m not sure if this is an issue with FDumper dumping a pending update or something else. The registered update installs all ok.

 

[Reecey]

@fOmey did you manage to have a look at the reason why the pending update doesn’t download the necessary meta file? I tried to use it on firmware 6.2 but ChoiDujour would not complete without the meta file, it seems to skip this file when grabbing the update.

if you're talking about ChoiDujour PC, it is not compatible with 6.2.0

Hi can we use this to dump the 7.0 firmware for clarification? I know 7.0 is useless rn but I’m going to update regardless as I don’t care about cfw rn I usually just wait till the newest firmware patch is ready but I still want to play online for the time being. Please no “you’ll get banned” shenanigans or “updating is useless” etc

probably but no one can run homebrew on 7.0 yet

@fOmey I don't know if this very useful tool is still being worked on, but now that emuMMC is out it would be really cool to be able to dump the firmware update from another emuMMC path or partition than the one currently booted ! This way one could update a clean unbaned emuMMC via Horizon, then switch to another emuMMC used for homebrew, dump the update from the clean emuMMC and apply it via ChoiDuJourNX without having to rely on a computer nor having to temporarily boot a CFW on the clean emuMMC.

Thank you.

I can please ask you to update the tool, because controls no working in newest fws to dump, then need wait darthsternie dump and upload

 

[KinoyoFNA]

Yes, I have the same problem as rodrigues. The controls (A, B, and +) simply don't do anything, the program is basically just sitting taking up space at this point

I hope there will be a bypass or an alternative method of downloading firmware to be dumped for banned consoles using this app.

Banned consoles should still be able to download firmware updates unless they are CDN banned which is rare and not being distributed anymore nowadays.
