Hacking Help with 11.9 update

[LeYo151]

Help ! I just updated my new 3ds xl to 11.9, and when I turned on my console, some of the games and titles I had installed disappeared and now they have a black symbol. And when I try to go to fbi titles, it shows up an error. Can someone help me ?

1. Copy everything off your SD card onto a computer.
2. Reformat in FAT32 + 32 KB cluster size with Windows File Explorer or guiformat (for 32 GB and larger).
3. Full Write + Verify Test the empty card with H2testw. Do not skip this step.
4. Delete the *.h2w test files if the card passes.
   • If an error occurred, you may stop the test. Report back the failure log.

uhm.yes. the sd card has got bad sectors on it. if you save data on that card you are going to be looking at data corruption.

let me ask . . . you got this card online right? . . . ebay perhaps? i ask because the 32gb lost result on a 64gb card usually means you got scammed. its a fully functional 32 gb card that the seller reformatted/resized to be detected as a 64gb card . . . if you recently bought it you should be looking to get a refund

nope, I bought it from a store and it is an original 32gb card. Before all this happened I was trying to export and import a gba save file with gm9, but failed. Do you think that may have caused this ?

yeah sorry about my previous comment i just noticed it said 32mb corrupted (i thought it said 32gb) ... sorry i cant be sure if thats what caused it . . . my thoughts on the matter sometimes sd cards (or any storage medium really) can just happen fail at any time . . . thats why you see people recommend people back things up several times and in several locations (hard drive/sd/cloud/ect)

Your real 32 GB card failed from natural wear and tear just by using it. Here's an anecdote of another person not too long ago who had his real 16 GB card go bad as well.

• FBI error (106), cert signature or hash failed.

1. Buy a new SD card that's somewhere preferably not eBay.

- My (Dec-14-18) suggestion is this SanDisk 128 GB micro SDXC for CDN $30 at Amazon.ca here.
- Unless you have Amazon Prime, add another CDN $5 item to get the free shipping deal.
- Try price matching in-store if ordering online is out of the question.​

2. Reformat in FAT32 + 32 KB cluster size and check with H2testw ← for your protection against counterfeit products.

• Optional: If you end up getting a 128 GB or bigger card, you may instead format in FAT32 + 64 KB cluster for slightly faster loading performance.
• Just don't format in 64 KB cluster size for a card that's 64 GB and under. There's a GBA VC graphics bug if you use the wrong cluster size.

3. Copy everything over to the new card and back up your game saves + extdata with Checkpoint or JKSM.

• Discontinue using the current card to keep the data intact.

If there are games still missing in HOME Menu, don't reinstall their *.cia files as this will overwrite their saves. If you did not backed them up before with a save manager, you'll need to follow the guide in this thread to recover them. Ignore the cautious bit about the X marks showing up or not in System Settings → Data Management → Nintendo 3DS → Software.

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