I've been getting this issue when I try to use free shop, haven't had it when installing stuff with FBI or devmenu. Trying what was said in the previous page didn't have the 3ds prompt me with anything or change anything. I'm on a9 and newest Luma, same error as the op found this thread googling it.

A9? Is that what you call Arm9LoaderHax, or A9LH?
 
Yeah, on a tablet right now and it has funky autocorrect sometimes and I don't catch when it changes everything on me. Like the free shops being split into two words
 
samee troubles with 3ds 11.1.0-34E

some titles still install-able over wifi , socketpunch.
the rest just won't install.
migrated from 2 gb SDHC to a 16 gb micro sd.
the installed titles are playable with no troubles :/
after closing FBI when i got that error , the sd is no longer readable , must reboot.


HEEEELP !!!
 
i have the same problem 2 times
solutions:
-repair sd in pc with chkdsk
-check the cias in another 3ds
-change directory of cias
-use fbi latest update or best
-delete the game corrupted or last cia installed (i install a jpn game) rf cryptofixed fs 100% legal ;)
-use another sd or format the sd (format is only temporarily)
-use another cfw and sd
-buy a new console :(

games installed successfully pokemon oras and project mirai dx

sorry :D , but guess what the problem was !

first the sd wash a total mess , i changed it to a brand new 16 gb ( the one from my raspi), then the 3DS kept showing an error every 48 - 120 h , so i changed the sachet !
and everything is cool now :D , thanks a looooot my gbatemp, i didn't think that the sachet could have such an effect !!
 
Sachet? You mean the mSD > SD adapter?

This too is happening to me.

Can't even open Freeshop. Crashes back to menu on DLing cache...

Can play games just fine... Not sure what's going on.
 
I have the same problem with a 64GB micro-SD card in a mSD > SD adapter. I don't have the problem with a 16GB SD card. So it must be either the micro-SD or the adapter. Unfortunately I only have this one adapter, so I can't try another one.

Why can I still use it in my laptop without a problem, but FBI is returning this problem? What causes this? Is there any way to resolve this without buying a new card or adapter?
 
PROBLEM:



You're mSD is bunked.




You're mSD is perma-locked. Go ahead, check it in Diskpart. You can't undo it either. This is a failsafe feature of mSD cards.

I had to buy a new one (same error/issue). Couldn't even get it to reformat. Which means it locked down after exceeding the write limit. So I now have a permanent physical backup of my old 128GB mSD. Funny thing is, you can READ the mSD, correct? Yeah... but you can't WRITE to it. Hence the FBI and 3DS error prompts when trying to install/update. It can read your files. It just can't write/delete them. You can try to reformat, but since you can't WRITE you just end up wasting time. Same goes for writing files to mSD. It -LOOKS- like it worked, but take it out, pop it back in to PC, and guess what? That file isn't there.

So what's happening here?

After a while the mSD starts to fail and locks itself from writing which you can't fix. I tried. Even used DiskPart, etc.. However, this does give you time to copy/backup the files before it really does die on you.

NOTE: I did not try using LINUX Terminal yet. There may be hope... but I just didn't have time to boot into ULBD to see if I could get it to reformat/unlock.

However, I have seen this happen before with phones/devices and it has nothing to do with encryption or unit. It's the mSD going bad. So it perma-locks itself, giving the user time to backup files before a complete meltdown.
SOLUTION:

Buy a legit Samsung mSD same size or more. Stick to the white + orange/red EVO mSD's. Orange=slower but more reliable. Red=faster but might die quicker. Don't buy the green ones. Just, don't.

And don't buy from eBay. I highly recommend Newegg!!! Especially since 128GB dropped in price.

Be careful on Amazon. Some are legit, a lot aren't.

Once you get your new mSD, format it to FAT32 like usual and don't delete/merge the empty/unallocated partition. If you can still read the files on the old one, copy them to PC/BACKUP and transfer to new mSD.

GOTHICIII won this one. When buying a large mSD, buy a trusted brand. The 32GB mSD's are pre-formatted in FAT32 (most of the time) so no issues there. 64GB+ and you have to force the FAT32 format to get 3DS to work with it.

But eventually all things must die. And FAT32 takes a toll on the mSD. So get one worth the bang for your buck.

Move on with life.

Everything updated after that and FBI worked again. Just in time for S&M... man that was close.

Oh, and yes, the 256GB EVO mSD from Samsung (white/red one) works just fine. Again, format it properly. Don't erase/merge empty partition.

Now to update my ARM9LH and get my GW card working again.... *sighs*

Hello,
Following the hack of my 3ds in 11.9, I had the same problem for fbi with the cia. Like what was wrong with the TWL partition.
I have searched for a long time and found the solution is all it takes is to format your SD card with another utility than Windows and let the allocation unit size chosen by the program.

Here is the program :**guiformat** and take it on the official site : ridgecrop.demon

im confused do you need help? or telling us something?
 
For this error how to fix:
Failed to install over the network.
Result code: 0xC960454B
Level: Status(25)
Summary: Internal(11)
Module: FS(17)
Desc: Bus error/ TWL partition invalid(331)

I had same issue and could not find info regarding how to fix this.
I updated 1st gen 3ds to latest firmware then I proceeded to install cfw that is easy when you follow the step by step guide (don't use videos- watch them if you fail a step). I done the cfw to the end and installed some games to verify that it works. No problems until I switched from the 2gb SD card to a 64gb micro SD with adapter.

So 2 things I have done then it was all good:
1. Format the new SD card to FAT32 and its important to do a slow format...yes it takes forever to do so.
2. Copy contents from your old card (pray and hope you did not format the card or threw it away). Its important to copy hidden folders and overwrite on new card when prompted to do so. Should be 2 files that get overwritten on new card...select yes and overwrite. Pop new card back and copy a cia game image on first and install with FBI to test.

Further can confirm with all other issues from previous posts that I have not changed micro sd adapters or micro SD card...the above solved my issue. Remember to have your hidden files show on windows in order to see it on the card.

Hope it helps and good luck.

PS. 64gb can almost fit whole 3ds library on card and will be enough if you are selective with games then you can even look at adding DS games, retro games and so on...options are limitless - love my 3DS. 128gb is enough for whole 3ds,2ds,NES, SNES, GBA, and GENESIS library.
