Hacking Official [Release] CakesFW

[VerseHell]

It is optional on n3ds, but recommended.

And for @mid-kid, the emunand patches for 9.0 n3ds is missing on Cakes 9.9.

I just managed to install a cia manager in my n3ds without CN/gateway thanks to @Steveice10

You need :
- A 9.0-9.2 console obviously
- Browserhax : https://gbatemp.net/threads/yellows8s-browserhax-thread.398132/
- Cakes for ninjhax2 : https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-cakesfw.391200/page-62#post-5695644
- Cakes 9.9 (first post) with an encrypted 9.0-9.2 firmware.bin : can't link it here, but search "firmware9.2.bin" on google on download the Cakes.zip folder. The md5 of the firmware9.2.bin should be 87aea2e8c30a533fd9f319683b3a0793. Rename it firmware.bin and put it in the cakes folder along with the cetk file.
- The latest ninjhax version of FBI : https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-fbi-open-source-cia-installer.386433/
- A cia version of the cia installer you want to install (for exemple FBI or BigBlueMenu)

Once you have all of that :
1. Start the HBL
2. Choose Cakes
3. In select Patches, choose "Disable signature checks" but don't choose emunand.
4. Boot the cfw.
5. Run the browserhax again, but now choose FBI.
6. Install the cia manager. If you get a database error, read the FBI faq in the official thread.

Then you will have a cia installer installed on the sysnand. You will still need CN or OOT to create an emunand though.

I get a "Description: <unknown> (0x2f)" error when I try to install a cia in FBI.

Did you do exactly that :
-Start the HBL
- Start Cakes
- Select the signatures patch only
- Boot cfw
- Once you're back on the menu, start directly the HBL again
- Start FBI

Was using firmware9.5.bin. Used the 9.2 one and it worked. Thanks
How do I access the installed cia managers though? Their icons aren't appearing in the Home Menu.

If they aren't appearing then something went wrong, try the install again

Weird it should if you let destination on SD.
Also I just tested, and using a cubic ninja cia with the gw launcher works, so you can create an emunand without the retail cartdrige.

Have Cakes CFW a Patch which translate Fire Emblem If?

Have Cakes CFW a Patch which translate Fire Emblem If?

You're asking for a cfw to have a patch that magically translates a random game?

Really?

 

[Phil5004]

No... I want to Play the Translation of Fire Emblem If
Edit: The Fan Translation

check in the game hacking and translation section for info on this

That's more clear than your first post. Cakes wouldn't stop you from playing a CIA game. If the game is crypto fixed and works on 9.2 or lower (which I assume is what you have) then there should be no reason why the translated CIA wouldn't work if am understand it correctly.

Thanks I know what that's about. He just worded his post weirdly to the extent that I couldn't believe the question lol

 

[Phil5004]

Yeah... But I've got the 100% Japanse CIA...

 

[Phil5004]

If I want to run it...it Stuck at the Nintendo 3DS Booting Screen...

 

[VerseHell]

You can find the (partially) translated version on the "Moody's CIA Downloads" thread on that iso site. And you need the 9.5 firmware.bin to play it.

 

[dkabot]

@mid-kid Thanks for this, just swapped out from ReiNAND and took the plunge of unlinking nands.
@Steveice10 You're just churning out all the good stuff, thanks for the custom build, FBI and probably at least three other you've touched.

I have now joined the club of autobooting CFW. My region swapped console is now even further of a mess.

Okay... But with the 9.5 FW.bin it cant run Cakes correctly (It still test the Signature...) And so I cant boot anything

 

[mironicurse]

why is successful boot chance dramatically lower when it's booted automaticly(autoboot)? 3/5 times i get black screens and have to power off.

Lol no the arrow ^ was saying "what he said" the rest was directed at the first post I quoted... Sorry for the confusion

It's probably yet another timing difference... The original payload had a delay for a bit waiting for button presses and the new one probably does its stuff then checks if a button is held, if not then it just boots it which is faster than something with a delay

 

[Choquette]

I need help! When I launch the Hbc with the themehax I get the message failed to load Firm
Make sure...
I d/l the firmware9.2 renamed it and put it in the cakes folder (root)!
Bit what is cakes folder from cakes 9.9?
I cannot find something called cakes 9.9.
Is it the folder that has the cakes_89.dat config.dat and firmkey.bin with the folder patches?
