Homebrew [Release] FBI - Open source CIA installer

[Deleted User]

@Steveice10
Hey I have a suggestion that, I think, can be useful a lot of people!
In the smdh (before creating the .cia), replace the

00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 FF FF FF 7F 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 05 01

at 0x2008 to 0x2029
by

99 99 00 99 99 00 99 99 99 99 99 00 00 00 00 00 FF FF FF 7F 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 41 01

This will remove the "asking for 3D" for people like me (I have 3D disabled in parental control), and ask for the pin when trying to launch FBI (even if software/age ratings are disabled, but not if no pin is set).
I think this can be useful if people go near your console and try to open FBI (they could mess with stuff, you don't want that), and can be applied easily to any other homebrew app.

EDIT: the problems were fixed by using the right .rsf! It all works!

EDIT2: if someone wants to try it, I uploaded it here!

Added for the next release.

Are we forced to use Sockpunch in the OP? Other CIA network installers aren't working for me. This wasn't the case with older versions of FBI. If so, has someone made a GUI for Sockpunch yet?

Little bit off topic (sorry for that)

@Steveice10
Do you plan to update 'citrus' to comply to the latest 'libctru'?

Someone Can Help Me?

I Instaled FBI With Health and Safety App, in decrypt9 but, when i launch the homebrew, i got one black screen said: Failed to open text color config : No such file in directory...

What Happened?

 

[DinkyBoo]

I currently have FBI installer version 1.7.4 (i think) and I want to update to the latest Build.
I have it injected into my Health and safety app, how do I update it?

Don't install FBI in the Health and safety app, but on the sd card (like other 3ds/homebrews cia).

sorry please explain

 

[Xenosaiga]

sorry please explain

Install the new FBI just as if it were one of your games.

Use the one installed to Health and Safety as a backup.

 

[RealityNinja]

sorry please explain

Download the latest cia of FBI (https://github.com/Steveice10/FBI/releases/download/2.2.1/FBI.cia), and install this cia with the injected FBI in the health an safety app. Then, in the future, use the FBI 2.2.1 (and not the injected FBI)

Yep!
Or... You can also restore the health and safety app (you have made a backup of it before injecting FBI, right?)

Does this work on 10.2?

Whenever I try to install it via Ninjhax, it just says "Failed to install".

Have you a cfw? If it's not the case, it will only work with legit cia (because of the signature check).
But you can downgrade... to "install" an cfw...

Is it a cfw? (because you can use directly the fbi.cia) If not, keep trying, svchax isn't 100% success rate...

Thanks, I'll keep trying. I don't have cfw on my new 3ds

You can also try NASA...

Hi, i'm using the latest release 2.2.1 and it sometimes hangs on installing CIAs.
On CIAs bigger than 2GB it happens most of the time.
Just tried the old 1.4.17 Release and it works fine.

FBI is installed to sysNAND A9LH 11.0 as CIA.

What am i doing wrong?

I get this problem too, but only the gui freezes. So if you just leave FBI running it will install. And the only way to turn it off is to hold the power button.

 

[wblhornet]

Ok, i only waited 1 oder 2 minutes if the GUI reacts.
Will use 1.4.17 as long as this problem exists.

No, when the gui freezes, it freezes until reboot but "under the hood" it's still installing cias.
