My SD card is original and it's okay. I tried to install Pokémon Sun/Moon and Resident Evil: Revelations and both get an error (directly from eshop or on CIAngel I just get an error, and from FreeShop I get "wrong title key") when the download finishes. I don't know why, and I tried a lot of things to solve it, even restore my NAND backup (at 9.2 version). The console just doesn't accept the game. What can I do?

Obs.: if I use a .cia file, the game install and works perfectly (I've tested with Resident Evil)

Sorry for my bad english :/

If free shop says wrong title key then use the auto title key updater app (google it) and it will download a legit and updated titlekey.bin at /FreeShop/ (make sure the directory exists) then copy it to /3ds/freeshop/data/titlekey
Dont quote me on that second file path, it depends on the version your using

The key is okay, just big games don't install, even on Eshop, and that's what I really don't know why is happening

If they can be auto generated by my 2DS, I think if I format the SD card should be the same of overwriting them right?
If it's the same, I've tried to format the SD card before and nothing

Either a) connect to the eshop after format then download sthing or b) create 2 blank text files, one called title and the other import. Rename to title.db and import.db then throw them into your sdcard. After that, go to system settings, software manegment, and it will open a promt saying that its corrupted, just select yes and let it do its thing

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I'll give the file paths to put them into in a sec. Also note that this will invalidate existing stuffs on your sd

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Both files go into:
Nintendo 3ds/id0/id1/dbs

Id0 and id1 are randomly generated numbers unique to each 3ds. If you only use this sdcard with this 3ds, then id0 will be the only console I'd there

They're inside the folder Nintendo 3DS/"a lot of characters"/"a lot of characters"/dbs, right?

oh sorry, I didn't see your post before
I can try to do it, but if I have formatted it before and when I accessed the eshop the console has generated the files and it still does not work, is there a chance to these files being the problem?

It could be, and yes that's the correct folder. Just plz create save data backups

If that doesn't work, I have to admit I completely overlooked the fact that it could be a simple SD write error.

If you have a windows PC handy, plug your SD into the computer and if a dialogue pops up saying would you like to scan blah blah blah (NOT AUTO PLAY) then its a simple write issue.


1) right click the SD then select tools
2) scan for file system errors
3)tick both scan for errors and attempt the recovery of bad sectors
4) patience. Especially with a big sdcard.
5)profit

I have done this, now I must wait to the download finishes to see if the game will install (it will take more or less two hours to finish because FreeShop downloads are too slow)
If it won't work, what can I do after?
