In any case, to actually install the cia, you copy it to the SD card and install with FBI. It works on my 3DS and I have never seen the card stopping to work after copying a cia file on it.I'm testing already

Well, you have a folder dedicated to them. (The cias folder)where?On the root?

But technically, you can copy them anywhere you want to.

i dont think it matters anymore since both sd's are dead on my 3dsHere's a way of installing cias without copying them to the SD card (over network):

Not only that, but the card still doesn't work even after the cia file is deleted.Wait, let me get this straight. The 3DS crashes when you put the SD card (with the CIAs) inside the console before even running FBI?
That's really strange. Since both aren't working, try backing up all relevant files to your PC and then format one of them in the FAT32 format. This may clear things up.
already did that with the old one and didin't work.Weird,right?Wait, let me get this straight. The 3DS crashes when you put the SD card (with the CIAs) inside the console before even running FBI?

The troubleshooting section has nothing even remotely related. I linked the guide on checking errors on SD cards and apparently it reports 0 errors.@osm70 have you already tried linking him to the 3DS Guide troubleshooting section? That's the only thing I can think of to solve the problem.
"Black screen on SysNAND boot" and "Clear Home Menu extdata" might work. There's pretty much nothing to lose at this point.The troubleshooting section has nothing even remotely related. I linked the guide on checking errors on SD cards and apparently it reports 0 errors.

Yeah, let's see what happens..."Black screen on SysNAND boot" and "Clear Home Menu extdata" might work. There's pretty much nothing to lose at this point.
By the way, I don't think I can put links in my messages yet.

lol . . . no ... after reading the thread i can only safely assume @spectral is correctThe sd's hate cia files
try using a different pc /sd reader (or even an android if applicable) to copy the cia file to the sd cardit doesn't sound like the cia's themselves are the problem. It sounds more like your card is getting some corruption when your computer writes to it. Try with a different card reader, it may be faulty. Also be sure to do the safely remove USB device thing, the computer can still be writing to the card when it looks like it has finished.
