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：

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

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.

    How do you know if the night will be good when you're asleep
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    because i didn't say i was asleep
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    i said i was sleeping...

    sleeping with uremum

    Even my mum slept on that uremum
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s

    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
