I am dumping and restoring on the same system. The only variable is that the Miis I'm dumping and trying to restore are not native to the system I'm doing it on. And yes, I don't have a NAND backup since I never intended to softmod my 3DS or have to do something like that.

The files aren't 0bytes, it they are 311KBs. (Is that large enough?)

So pretty much on the mark.
Can you not dump and and restore ext data on a completely different 3DS from the system the ext data was created on? I'm stumped as what to do outside of just erasing all data that's not related to my Mii data and creating an upload of my SD card data for someone else to look at it.

I do have access to pasta CFW, is there a way to dump it and extract the .db file from it through that?

The data you want is on an upgraded system, right? Then give up. There's absolutely nothing you can do. Even if you hard-modded it to dump the nand, you have no way to decrypt that nand.

Some CIAs give me a "Invalid Signature" in either Gateway or Pasta but install fine with BigBlueBox.
That has something to do with the keys used to build them (0 key, vs Gateway key, vs ??). All I can say is to try devmenu/BBM if FBI doesn't like it. It's technically not a bug in FBI, so who knows if it will ever be addressed in a future build or not...

Like I said that I had no issues if I installed them with BigBlueMenu.

Are you doing it over a network install? If so that might be the issue. Try it from your SD card.

Feature request: Can you display the battery level and how good the network connection is on the screen? Installing a CIA with two levels of battery can be scary, even moreso if you have no guarantee that the 3DS won't suddenly decide that the wifi connection is too weak despite being in the same place just fine a few minutes ago.

Hi, today I was bored so I decided to port sockfile to c# WPF, which means it has a GUI and it should (it requires .NET 4.0 that is pre-installed on win8) work out of the box without installing anything.
It's drag 'n' drop and you can create a queue of cias to send automatically (if you uncheck prompt and disable them in the FBI app). It also try to give an estimated ETA and speed.
You can download it here. If you are interested I can give you the source code too, just keep in mind it's pretty bad.
