Homebrew [Help]FBI won't install any cia file

[Hayato213]

Alright, getting the same error as when I started. Failed to install cia file

Maybe try another SD card.

As a last ditch effort I'm gonna try replacing my tickets.db and imports.db with dummy files and having my 3ds repair them

sorry, *titles.db

Probably do that, but the thing is you got a clean nand.

....It's acting like I didn't replace the files at all. Not asking to repair or anything.

Have you tried to delete all FBI and fbi related apps and data and reinstall FBI fresh?

 

[f3rr3t]

No, that's a good idea. Do you know all the files/folders I need to delete, or will they all say fbi?

Okay I just tried again and it seems to be installing the cias.

Seems like replacing titles.db and imports.db worked. Gonna try installing some games next and we'll see.

Alright, everything is working now. Seems like those files got corrupted somehow(?)
If anyone has any idea what might've happened, would be cool to hear

Hi, I got the same issue recently. I can install FBI.cia to update my FBI to the latest version 2.6.0, but I cannot install any .cia files. Could you please tell me how to replace titles.db and imports.db? I would like to try your method. Thanks.

Replacing either title.db and import.db found in the Nintendo 3DS folder will make all the games disappear in HOME Menu. You cannot recover from this except to reinstall everything. Reinstalling a game CIA will overwrite/delete your save that's in place.

If you don't heed the warning of leaving alone those two database files, prepare to painstakingly rebuild your setup with the saves kept using this guide:

• I made a NAND backup awhile back, now had to recover, missing games.
