reformatting the emunand fixed it and I can install .cia again. Thanks alot people!!

EDIT: To people who had the same problem, reformatting emunand causes you to have to set back up eshop, SD card saved game gimmicks dont carry over (persona Q map data), and all eshop purchases dont transfer over so small price I suppose. (persona q map data sucks but being in the final dungeon its not a HUGE problem)

Did you not back up your Emunand prior to the update? Or did re-injecting your back-up not fix the cia install problem. Because if you do have a back-up, I'm pretty sure you can get the e-shop purchases back.

I had both a backup and an old version of emunand running fw 9.2 however the error still persisted where I got an error on installing .cia, I couldnt even install bigbluemenu to my homescreen. I have two SD cards, one with the formatted emunand with working .cia installs and the other SD card that still has the errors. I can send over my emunand if people had a spare SD card and wanted to see the error for themselves (i dont know if thats actually possible on different 3DS, just a suggestion)

Me and .cia have always been at war with each other, if you look at every threads i've ever posted its always about .cia f'cking up for me and I never understood why. I always follow all the steps, unlinked sysnand and emunand, made sure there was adequate space on my SD card but I always get something corrupted eventually when i turn back on the 3DS so i think ill just stick to dlcs and just play games off gateway

I just realized my broken SD card (the one that fails at installing .cia files) can install dlcs even though it says it failed. Once it says it failed I leave titlemanager and go back in and I see it has been installed and the games can read it. games do the same thing but dont show up on the homescreen though, i guess cause the 3ds didnt make a song and dance about it by wrapping the game and letting me unwrap it. Soooooooo yea, any idea peoples lol.

I'm having basically the same issue, almost all cia installs fail, emunand 9.4 and Gateway 2.7 (I am able to install the cia's for bbb and Super Mario Bros 2 however). Reformatting the emunand (then updating it back to 9.4) didn't help. I then reformatted it again and left the emunand on 4.4, and wouldn't you know it, all the cia's now install fine, even Super Smash Bros. The I updated the same emunand to 9.4, and boom, cia's don't install again (the ones installed while on 4.4 remain). I feel like I've tried all the options, not sure what to try next.

Try changing to a new SD card and making a new emunand from that. I used a microSD and adapter, remade a new emunand (did not inject an old one) and unlinked emunand and sysnand and it has been working ever since.
