[xdarkmario]

im trying to Sign a .CIA file but makerom is spitting out a error

[CIA WARNING] Common Key could not be loaded, CIA will not be encrypted

what is the Common Key, how do i get it? (no link but how do i get it)

i have the key itself but no idea what to do with that.

You can ignore that warning, the .cia file will still install fine.

For your information: The "common key" is the AES key used to decrypt the titlekey in the ticket bundled in the CIA. The titlekey itself is used to decrypt the contents bundled in the CIA/on Nintendo's CDN.

The common key cannot be recovered right now due to the hardware-based AES key scrambler and unavailability of the bootrom.

the key is out there, if not then why would the app give that error?

No, the key is not out there:

"The common key cannot be recovered right now due to the hardware-based AES key scrambler and unavailability of the bootrom."

Then it's something else you've done wrong in building the .cia. It being unencrypted won't stop it installing in Gateway mode, most of the rebuilt and distributed .cia files are unencrypted.

well im new to make cia but this is what im do is compile a theme into a cia using this tool

the cia installs fine in reinand but in gateway mode it gives that error and if i install it in reinand then go to gateway nand i get a error saying the theme management is corrupt.

Oh, I didn't realize it was a theme you were trying to install. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure I remember Gateway mode being incompatible with installing themes as .cia. Maybe try installing the theme using one of the homebrew tools instead?

I did, it works now, but before it gave me trouble. But I want a installable version for professionalism purposes.

Then don't use Gateway mode until they release an update that allows for pirated themes?

You can't use themes from different region than your 3ds.

But this theme was born in USA and so is my N3ds.
