Homebrew How to uninstall unlaunch?

[Elexon6273]

Yes, it does.

And is there no other way to remove Unlaunch? Maybe re-initializing the DSi? Or attempting to perform a system update?

Initialising would likely do nothing.
Updating would either remove it, or brick. (unless your on 1.4.5, then it will do nothing)

You could ask on a place like the NDSi Brew Discord.

I think I'd rather wait until a "stable" method of uninstalling Unlaunch comes out
Thanks anyway

I think I am going to do the same. I cannot trust the backup I have, and there is no point ruining a perfectly good DSi XL.

If you followed dsi.cfw.guide you have no hope. : ( I really feel bad for you, and the people who own the site REFUSE to make a PROPER NAND backup.... Restoring the one from FWTool 2.0 will brick... I will make my own guide soon......

Good thing i just restored a clean nand backup from fwtool 1.6. Thats how i uninstalled unlaunch

Just thought, could you not use twlnf (or twltool, cant remember which one) to flash a stock launcher tmd to the system, uninstalling unlaunch in the process?

I'm pretty sure it's twlnf... That may be possible, but who here would be willing to test this? And where would you get the required stock launcher tmd files?

So, did you just restore the NAND backup from before your console was CFW-ed? Is that it?

Is there a way to tell if the backup is 1.6 or 2.0? this is what i have

It's from whatever version of fwtool you backed it up from

Open the nand in a hex editor, then scroll to the bottom and upload a screenie

^That's what showed up for me^
(not that i know what any of it means..)

 

[Tigger]

here you go first is nand.dsi.bin, Second is nand_dsi.bin

Do NOT restore the first one, it has a no$gba header.
The second one is clean, its safe to restore.

Thats a no$gba header, restoring it will brick.

 

[Tigger]

Just restored the bottom one, but it still shows unlaunch at boot up

So, I've got to wait for an official way to uninstall...

In that case, you could decrypt the dump, mount it, then manually replace the launcher tmd, encrypt it again then flash.

You would have to run me through how to do that, if you don't mind.
