So after Reinstalling/Updating the CFW of my Nintendo 3ds, I got to Section V where I was supposed to download the remaining files. Now I have an error code stating that it failed to install the CIA file.

Details:

Failed to install CIA file.
Result code: 0xD8A08004
Level: Permanent (27)
Summary: Invalid state (5)
Module: AM (32)
Desc: Wrong installation state 4



Is there a way to fix this?

What guide were you following (this?), and what were you updating/ reinstalling?
You had that error only with one cia file, or more?
Nevertheless, redownload the file and install it again, and make sure you have plenty of space on your sd card.

That was the link I was using to update/ and reinstall some files
All of the CIA files were errors.
I will try to redownload the file again if it would fix.

Check the lock switch on the sd card adapter if it's in the unlocked position, and try with a different on if that didn't help (if you have an old 3DS). Also, check the sd card for errors with h2testw, if it's faulty/defective it could've gone read-only thus can't install/write anything to it. Save everything that's on it on your computer, format it as FAT32 32kb clusters, and run the test with the read & verify setting.
It should tell you if it's faulty.

因此，在重新安装/更新我的 Nintendo 3ds 的 CFW 之后，我进入了第 V 部分，我应该在那里下载剩余的文件。现在我有一个错误代码，说明它无法安装 CIA 文件。

细节：

无法安装 CIA 文件。
结果代码：0xD8A08004
级别：永久 (27)
总结：无效状态（5）
模块：AM (32)
描述：错误的安装状态 4



有没有办法来解决这个问题？

Things to check & do :
- Adequate storage for the installation.
- Checking the Sd card with h2testw for errors.
- Redownloading the cia file (or from different source), and try installing it again.
