Homebrew [Release] DSi NAND Tool - TWLTool Functions Made Easier

[dpad_5678]

Here's what I've been working on lately!

DSi NAND Tool is a simple script that allows for easier NAND and ticket encryption/decryption. This is also very useful when you're using TWLTool for multiple consoles, as this eliminates the need to constantly replace CID/ConsoleID's in batch files, and also the need to keep renaming nand_dsi.bin, NAND_DEC.bin, and NAND_ENC.bin files, as well as tickets.


Features:

• More organized and efficient NAND and ticket crypto functions
• Encrypt/Decrypt NAND, and name with ConsoleID for better recognition
• Same as above, but also with tickets
• ....and more to come!

How To Use:

1. Run DSi_NAND_Tool_v3.bat
2. You'll see an Initial Setup screen. Enter a nickname of your DSi (A-Z, 1-9, spaces are allowed) and press enter
3. Enter or paste your console-specific CID and press enter
4. Enter or paste your console-specific ConsoleID and press enter

The program is now set up. You should see what you named your DSi in the program.
Start typing your DSi nickname and press TAB to auto complete, and then press enter to access NAND/ticket functions.

You can add more DSi's by creating a folder inside the DSIs folder, and naming it what you'd like your DSi's nickname to be. Inside the \DSIs\yourDSIname\ folder, create two files: cid.txt and consoleid.txt, and add your DSi's console-specific ID's in each file respectively.

Spoiler: Extra Info

Drop any of the following files in the \DSIs\yourDSIname\ folder:

- nand_dsi.bin (dumped NAND to decrypt and modify)
- ticket.tik (dumped encrypted ticket to decrypt and modify)

Decrypted NAND output will be NAND_DEC_yourDSIconsoleID.bin.
Encrypted NAND output will be NAND_ENC_yourDSIconsoleID.bin.
Decrypted ticket output will be dec_ticket.tik
Encrypted ticket output will be enc_ticket.tik

"Encrypt NAND" will look for NAND_DEC_yourDSIconsoleID.bin, and encrypted to NAND_ENC_yourDSIconsoleID.bin.
"Encrypt ticket" will look for dec_ticket.tik, and encrypted to enc_ticket.tik

Please don't use any other version of TWLtool than what's already packed with this tool!

nice stealth bump bro, jk. thanks for making this, i'll be using it when i unbrick my dsi :^)

dpad_5678 do you know how to see if I have a good dump of my nand?

If you can decrypt it without issues, it's probably a good dump. Or you could dump your NAND multiple times and compare the hashes to see if they are all the same.

Thank you! I have 3 dumps but all seems different in the hex editor.
I have not decrypted any of them, just wanted to know a safe way to check if they work.

very handy!

I completely forget that there are tiem sensitive changes that occur in the NAND (time and date, etc). Add your footer to it ND test in No$Cash.

But before i can use this, I'd have to dump my nand?

Yes. You also need your ConsoleID and CID.

Updated to 3.1: Fixed a bug where script would not enter DSIs directory after initial setup.

When I dumped the Nand it gave me a folder called FWE84ECE199CEE is this the Console id also its telling me that TWtool.exe is not compatible with my version of windows (10)

 

[ADrowsyUser]

The folder name is based off the dsi's mac address.

Ok

That's not the console ID. You need a 64-bit PC for TWLTool.

Not if you have a 32bit twltool - https://github.com/WinterMute/twltool/releases

TWtool.exe is not compatible with my version of windows (10)

So there are Windows 10 32 bit versions!!!!! guess my TROLL FRIEND didn't know about them

NVM

Not if you have a 32bit twltool - https://github.com/WinterMute/twltool/releases

twltool 1.7 works like a charm on 32 bit systems!

This is a very useful tool, thanks @dpad_5678! Having support for multiple consoles is great. The instructions could have been a little more approachable for a novice user of DSi hacking tools like me, but I eventually figured it out.

I’m having trouble with this tool. I keep getting the error Filename Invalid when i try to decrypt. Ive dumped the nand several times and double c hecked the console ID and CID. The namd is named nand_dsi.bin.

Any suggestions?

 

[3EGaming]

when i try to decrypt any tickets it tells me "ES magic check failed! is your consoleID correct?"
i know the console id is correct because i used it to decrypt the nand dump.
why is this happening?

 

[SweetIrony]

nice stealth bump bro, jk. thanks for making this, i'll be using it when i unbrick my dsi :^)

did you unbricked your dsi?

 

[thetester355]

How do you install the nand file onto the DSi?
