@Ray2R Just so you understand what's going on, A sysNAND and emuNAND are basically the same thing. Official Nintendo software that runs the 3DS as an operating system of sorts. EmuNAND is just a copy of your sysNAND that's stored on the SD card so you can mess with it and modify it and update it without mucking up your real sysNAND.

A CFW is a software that runs on top of a NAND. CFW can be made for sysNAND, emuNAND or Both. The CFW's primary function is to disable signature checks that would normally stop you from installing non-nintendo approved things.

In order for FBI to install anything to any NAND, you need to have a CFW running on that NAND first. Your ReiNAND is setup to only work on emuNAND, so you need to run miniPasta for your sysNAND. To make future installs easier, use FBI.3dsx to install FBI.CIA to your sysNAND while in miniPasta mode. Then, all you'll have to do is load miniPasta, then FBI will be right on your home screen.
 
I just installed ReiNand onto my n3ds. And now I have no idea what to do. I am new to this. It is an unlinked nand, with the ReiNand one at latest firmware.

What I did was get the 0004013820000202.cia from "3DNUS" and patched it with "New3DS_AGB_FIRM_v4816_SignPatcher.exe" Then I installed using FBI from the Health Stock Icon.
Next I installed a GBA.cia and now I am getting the Error, Restart your 3DS.


This guide https://www.reboot.ms/forum/threads/how-to-install-gbc-gba-and-dsi-games-in-cia-format.2057/ says I need both the 0004013820000202.cia and AGB_Firm-New.cia but I cannot find the 2nd AGB_Firm-New.cia. It says I need to install the GBA.cia in both the emuNand and the sysNand. And I am guessing that the emuNand is the CFW and the sysNand is the Official FW?

Please advise me on what to do next. I've been looking at how to install through sysNand but I don't know how to get to it. I tried to install the CIA from the FBI.3dsx from Homebrew Launcher but it gave me an error and didn't install.
Switch to Luma3DS, so you don't have to manually patch.
