Homebrew RELEASE Updated Firmware Dumper

[mrdude]

As per the title, this is a modded firmware dumper that is able to get a firmware dump from your switch nand and the dump should be compatible with Daybreak or ChoiDujourNX.

I got the original code from here: https://github.com/J-D-K/biggestDump

It's been heavily modded from the git page though and is now compatible with the latest AtmosphereNX and SXOS. Tested on firmware from 9.xx to 12.0.1.

Enjoy.

No worries, I rewrote most of the code - and only really used the console code. I'll just make some new code and use plutonium for the interface instead and repost when I am done.

Yeah, I doubt that. Libnx has it's own console for you to use. There's no reason to use mine at all if you rewrote most of it anyway.

I know that, I just downloaded your code to really have a look at it - it was ok, but had some issues and you hadn't updated for over a year so the app didn't work on people with newer firmware or using atmosphere. Maybe you can update your own code and the app and post it yourself.
Still thanks for posting it - it was good to see how you used threading and mounted the system partition. All the other stuff such as copying/moving/renaming/getting file sizes etc - I already knew how to do.

please tell me download link

please tell me download link

He can't provide you with one since technically the app doesn't meet the legal standard for publishing. We can't host it on our site, the code has to be GPL-compliant first. Be patient.

 

[mrdude]

please tell me download link

Mods removed it - look at the third post down.

Very good work ! so this is like tegraexplorer_RCM but without needing the keys and must be run as a normal homebrew instead of as an RCM payload. Am I right ?

No it's just a regular homebrew app, you don't need any keys.

OP updated, some console stuff changed and code mods.

Still to do - when removing a previously dumped firmware folder - this should probably be run on it's own thread, I'll change that when I get time, it's not a big deal though as it doesn't take long to delete that folder.

 

[mrdude]

OP updated, all threading stuff fixed and code cleaned up. That's me finished with this now.

Tested on firmware from 9.xx to 12.0.1.

Hello! Update it please to FW 12.0.2 support.
Btw it can dump only already installed OFW firmware, not a pending (that was downloaded but not installed) one?

It already can dump 12.0.2 firmware. Pending firmware dumps are pointless as they don't contain the full set of firmware files due to updates being incremental. You need to update fully - then dump the full firmware. I won't change the app anymore unless libnx needs it in the future.
