Homebrew RELEASE NS-USBloader - another one Tinfoil and GoldLeaf USB installer

[hippy dave]

it worked! thanks
!

But i keep running into errors on either transfer or install once transfer is complete. I keep getting error “bufferdata189: usb transfer timed out or failed”

any ideas?

No sorry, I've never encountered that one. Try a different cable, different USB port?

NS-USBloader v3.0
Changelog:

• New windows users can (download and) install drivers from application using button on settings ('Gear') tab. Drivers are libusbK v3.0.7.0 that people used to install over Zadig. Drivers would be installed for both APX (RCM Mode) and 'Homebrew' modes of the NS.
• Added CLI key for removing all application settings. I don't know why you may need this but maybe in case of some emergency. Read a bit more about CLI

@azoreseuropa
Also, you were right about check-for-updates-error. There were a typo on GitHub site that I made.
Thanks!

I'm trying to install NS-USBloader on Ubuntu Mate, and I can't get it to work, I've downloaded the normal 3.0 JAR file from the github releases page. I marked it as executable, and even tried running it as admin. but it still wont launch (i have Java 8 JDK runtime installed)

What executable? It should be executed as '$ java -jar filename.jar'. There are no +x requirement for jar file.

Also agree with azoreseuropa, use something newer on Linux. Like OpenJDK11 (because it's LTS) or JDK14. I heard there are some issues with JRE8 on Linux.. But if you try it with JRE8 let me know if it works =)

Is this available as a non java version? I am asking because I had always trouble to run java applications. I tired OpenJDK and the original Oracle one, nothing works. I am still using the old goldtree.exe, it is the only one that is available as an normal exe file.

No. For this java application only java's version available.

What could be the reason for extreme fluctuations in the transfer rate, which could also lead to the failure of an installation (under Windows)?

Bad cable, glitchy software, bugs in latest JDK, old/slow sd card. But I guess the most bugs are because of the cable.

 

[developer_su]

Few minor things..

NS-USBloader v4.2

Changelog:

• Add Czech Translation by @spenaat. Thank you!
• Add Traditional Chinese translation by @qazrfv1234. Thank you!
• Minor corrections: language drop-down selector in settings now showing language names (and locale) instead of three-letter abbreviations; preferences option name changed (back end).

Just follow this guide: https://github.com/developersu/ns-usbloader#windows

 

[Bonobhoy]

Ye i followed that guide,but when i double click the exe,the program looks as if it starts but crashes,almost instantly.

When i right click the exe,what default program should i choose to run it? It says open with wordpad,notepad,winrar etc.....which is wrong

Is it supposed to open with java?

could you add a way to do a file browser, so add additional files to the SD Card via MTP, other than just installing files? That'd be fantastic (like adding mod files, etc), as well as USB Drive install?
