Homebrew [Release] FBI - Open source CIA installer

[gnmmarechal]

Can someone help me? i want to install a few CIAs on my 3ds memory card and have come across this method today, however i have no idea what i actually need to do or what i need to make this CIA manager work. Some of my questions are:

Do i need a specific version of the 3DS firmware in order for this to work?
How and where do i install the CIA manager?
Do i also need to use sockfile?

Forgive me for all these questions since im a complete newbie at this xD but hope someone can make this process more clearer

If you have 10.7 or lower, you can install legit (universally signed) CIA files. If you have CFW, you can install any CIA. You have to downgrade to get CFW, at least to 9.2.

If you're on 11.0, you'll need an already hacked 3ds in order to get it. If you're on 10.7, you can get it without anything else.

It wont work. It says something about Kernel Access

You need custom firmware to use this. This is what you need to do since you're on 11.0:

I have a lot of problems to install different .cia files, I never had this kind of problems, I have always been able to install them. Using FBI 2.4.2 and Luma3DS 6.0.1.
I get:

Failed to install CIA file.
Result code: 0xE0E083EC
Level: Usage (28)
Summary: Invalid argument (7)
Module: AM (32)
Desc: Invalid size (1004)

Wih many different .cia files. It is a problem of my SD? Thank you.

On the main FBI menu there's a option called "TitleDB" (should be right above "Network Install"). Try installing freeShop from there.

Then you're probably not using the newest version, get it from the first post.
