Homebrew [KTM Release] Tomorrow

[ombus]

You really think that's not a possibility? Unless KTM installs everything to a sandbox first, to verify everything installs properly, those problems WILL arise with KTM. It wouldn't make much sense otherwise.. I guess if KTM backs up the current CIA files in place and rolls back if there's an error...

well he did says the program runs repeated times if it fails so i assume is something like cia file installing.. -- error ... repeat... cia file installing... success and move to the next one..

What will it do if it can't install that specific file then.. >> Nothing is perfect..

Not to mention, that users with these problems reported a successful downgrade. What checks will there be to prevent that?

... memchunkhax is unstable, hard to execute but it sometime works. It'll be the same with justpingo thing, which is just sysupdater with sha check.

I think that he ment it runs multiple times at the start, I doubt it has a roleback. (Not sure if thats even possible with current permissions)

I think (not sure) he backs up everything first, then uninstalls it and tries to install the downgraded one. If that fails it'll try multiple time, after a threshold it'll probably try to install the backed up one again. If even this fails there's something more wrong with your 3DS than just this...

This seems more plausible. I REALLY wish people would stop looking at this tool as their holy savior. :/ Again, I appreciate the work put into it, but it's not what people think.

@JustPingo at the end you choosed to or not to implement legit cia installation?

 

[ombus]

well have to wait and see what happens but he did said no hard-bricks.. so he must have done something to be able to say that.

 

[cpasjuste]

The problem like I already said is probably in the memhax, which can trigger a crash in the background services I guess (or memory corruption?). KTM will not solve this.

Testing is currently going a bit slow, blame the testers, not @JustPingo lol

lol don't be like this

 

[ombus]

launch it with a warning that try it at your own risk blabla hardmord so there will be more testers

 

[EpicLPer]

lol don't be like this

Shit I failed you senpai~

 

[laramie]

@JustPingo If you're not to busy I could still test right now for you.

 

[Coleman_C18]

While in most cases this would work, I doubt anyone wants to see the rage that this would produce. KTM has been hyped up as a "Fix all", releasing it in a testing faze would cause a lot of anger if and when it doesnt work right/doesnt boot often/softbricks/ect. However, this may as well happen regardless.

Really the only ways to brick with current sysUpdater is if you go and throw an O3ds firmware on your N3ds, shut off during the process, or something else of that nature. Since sunday I've helped at least 14 people downgrade and not a single person has bricked.

It may verywell have no brick rate, which is good, but don't think this program will be a fixall. :/

Do you have time today to help me and add me to your no brick record

[Redacted] I'll pm you

 

[Pikasack]

[Redacted] I'll pm you

I would like some help on a 10.3 2DS as well please!
(I could probably figure it out 100% myself, but a little help never hurts)

 

[D34DL1N3R]

I would also test. My N3DS XL arrived today rather than the estimated Monday.... only problem is I have to wait for the charger to arrive. Lmao.
