3DS SD Card has been removed error, and no titles showing upon reboot

[oxitran]

So I deleted some titles from my 3DS using FBI, an update for Dai Gyakuten Saiban, and the games DLC. When I did this and hit the home button on the 3DS the system gave an error that the SD card had been removed, and to press any button to reboot. When I rebooted no titles installed to the 3DS are showing. I went into Godmode9 to check if the SD card still worked, and it is perfectly fine, all the data is there and all the titles show up in the title manager in Godmode9. It's as if there is some software side issue that is preventing the 3DS from recognising the SD card is inserted when on the System OS.

Anybody have any knowledge to help? any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Its a 256gb Sandisk Micro SD in the adapter the card came with. The card is legit, I ran a h2testw test before I ever used the card. The card itself is not even a year old, and has only has about 300gb transfered to it max.

Run Check DIsk to check for corruption, if it finds nothing you can run a more thorough scan in command prompt (as admin) with chkdsk /F /R E: (change the drive letter to match)
What it sounds like is your title.db probably got corrupted. Makes sense as the error occurred in the middle of writing to it. title.db contains a list of all the installed software, if it got corrupted and chkdsk isn't able to recover it, you may need to reinstall all your games.

Hi the 3ds is a very sensitive console. When it comes to it's title Id folder if there's any files in the wrong place, mislabeled, or corrupt there will be an issue. If I had to guess I would say that you have a corrupt file(s) in your title I'd folder (if you want to look for it manually be on the lookout for a file(s) with a extra long extremely illegible filename(s) deleting it (them) should help) if you can still boot fbi it should be able to identify incorrectly installed if you use it to look at your installed titles it will show the title ids and the files in question should appear as a different color

I can't boot FBI, but I could reinstall it. Would that void the ability to find the corrupt title by having a title written after it?

That should not matter also don't be in a rush to delete any files that seem off to you. when you do this you'll want to look up the title IDs to make sure that they aren't somehow system files because in the case that they are you want to replace them with a working relevant version

It worked, I booted FBI from the HBL and in the titles list was the games DLC with it ID string as its title name, once it got deleted and I rebooted all the installed titles popped back up on the homescreen.

Thanks for the help. I recently had my PS3 bite the dust, so I did'nt want another console going down for a while.
