Because you can use MK7 to install CFW. This could be a method to install it and install CFW from it
Do you think you're the only person in the world with this problem? There are very smart people working these matters and if this was a method to install CFW, then it would be documented and people would be using it already.

Hello guys!! I have a big problem with custom-install-finalize. While trying to install the game (Fire emblem awakening), something inexplicable happened to me, namely the game does not appear on the desktop of my 3ds, and on top of that, a folder called ci-install-temp-000400000009f100-852d72c7 appears in the root of the SD card. This, as I understand it, is the broken rom of this game, which cannot be removed!! it constantly appears in the root of the folder after restarting the console. I also started getting errors when I tried to delete the custom-install-finalize.3dsx file. To be honest, I don’t know what to do anymore, I couldn’t find forums in my native language, I really hope that someone will find this message and help me!! Please forgive me, I am writing with a translator.

Also, my saves in games began to break and it is possible that these events are connected. With great respect and thanks in advance!

Yes, your SD card is failing. This happens all too frequently. It has nothing really to do with custom-install; the timing is coincidental (though cards do seem to be more likely to fail after being physically handled).

Connect the SD card to your PC, copy everything off the SD card with Roadkil's Unstoppable Copier, format the card, test the empty card with h2testw, and copy everything back if the test is okay.

But most likely, you won't be able to format the card at all. You can just get a new card, format it as FAT32, test it with h2testw (just to be safe), and copy the files before you put it in your 3DS again.

Sounds like the sd card is the issue, can try it with a different and see. I had the same issues before, I dont hack anymore but it was a bad sd card for me. God bless in Jesus name.

Hello guys! I bought myself a new 64GB SD card, copied files from it to my PC using roadkill’s, and then to a new SD card, having previously formatted it in FAT32 format. When I launch, I see all my games in a gift wrapper, and I also see the old problem with the sd root file ci-install-temp-000400000009f100-852d72c7.

Your fears were confirmed, I cannot format the old card and delete data from it, but transferring the contents of the card to a new sd, absolutely the same thing happens!! I think that the problem is in the files, and it is possible that I will have to say goodbye to them :(. I still hope for your help!! I don’t know what to do anymore!

custom-install is a Python 3.6+ tool that will install CIA files to a Nintendo 3DS SD card entirely on a PC. This completely bypasses the slow wireless and I/O speeds of the hardware.

Example speeds installing Pokémon Ultra Moon, about 3.45 GB (does not include final step to install a ticket and seed):
  • Class 4 SD: 15 minutes, 15 seconds
  • Class 10 UHS-1 microSD: 2 minutes, 58 seconds
  • For comparison, FBI network install to a New 3DS with a Class 10 UHS-1 microSD: 48 minutes, 14 seconds
Thanks to wwylele and his work on save3ds which has made modifying title.db on PC possible.

More details on usage can be found at the source repository:
https://github.com/ihaveamac/custom-install

Get the Windows standalone releases at:
https://github.com/ihaveamac/custom-install/releases

Need help? Ask on this thread, or join us on Discord! https://ihaveahax.net/view/Discord (Please do not come here asking how to obtain games.)
where do I find the SeedDB?
