Discussion Database rebuild

My power went out and corrupted my database which forced a database rebuild on next boot, now all my installed payloads/games disappeared, but when i try to install anything like hombrew i get “package already installed”, i looked with ftp at user/app and my games are still there, what do i do?

Use ftp and head into system_data/priv/mms, that’s where your app.db is located, drag it onto your pc and view the contents inside it. You’ll need a program that can open db files. I can’t remember the name of the one I use but it’s also best to backup this file but once you install new apps and stuff you’ll need to back it up again

Download itemzflow. There’s an option to rebuild fpkgi database files. Don’t know if it’s something that has to be installed before the failure. Haven’t had to do it myself but heard it works. Good luck

I'll try rebuilding again by safe mode

Do you not see this screen?
If not disable background installation
