hi i have been having this problem with my 3ds using different cia games and i always get this error
Failed to install CIA files.
Result code: 0xD8E0806A
Level: Permanent (27)
Summary: Invalid argument (7)
Module: AM (32)
Desc: Cert signature or hash check failed (106)
now my brother also has a n3dsxl like me and we installed cfw the same way last week
using the same cia files he was able to install these games while i keep getting this error
i am kind of at a lost here since i am a complete newbie at this and i could really use some help as to why this is happening
we both have new sd cards 32gb both of them tested and formatted as requested same cfw
now please like i said if you can give me dumbed down explinations i would appreciate it as i only started doing this a few days ago

What cfw are you using. Have you ran H2testw in your sd card to verify its working fine and not a fake card ect

Try formatting the card with SDFormatter: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter/

Also, don't double post. There's an edit button for a reason.
apologize for the double post
i did as you asked and the problem persist
i must add this isnt a single game im having this problem with
its all the games
apps for the most part work (all the apps from the finalazing install in the guide and retroarch worked good)
is it my own 3ds the problem? or the cfw?
perhaps there is another way to install .cia files that isnt fbi?

Try running Check Disk on the card after you get the error in FBI. Maybe the files are getting corrupted for some reason.

Are you using arm9loaderhax (a9lh), boot9strap (b9s), or something else? (if you recently followed 3ds.guide, you're likely using b9s)

Also, is your Luma CFW up-to-date? Please hold Select when you turn on your console, and tell us the Luma version you're running.

oh that way
no errors given with that check
everything is fine
Hmmm, last idea, is your FBI up to date? And are you launching it through HBL or an installed CIA?
If it's not up to date you can try launching the latest version from HBL with Rosalina and updating the CIA that way. After that the CIA will hopefully work and allow you to install games.
If you're already launching from HBL and you're not using Rosalina with hb title set to Download Play try that as that's the only title recommended for HBL launching. Although in Luma3DS 9.0+ this shouldn't matter anymore (not sure on this)
Anyway if the HBL version of FBI works you could always just use that to install games. It's a bit more of a hassle though.

Edit: Also, is your Luma3DS up to date? Hold Select on boot and tell us what it says.

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    the legal drinking age here in the US is 21, as some of you may know, but i think either it should be 18 or the age you're an adult should be 21.

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and i know what you may be thinking, "why become an adult at 21? doesn't that mean that banging an 18 year old would be illegal?"
    first of all, being in a relationship with someone who's 18 is technically ok, as long as it started when they were 18, but the age gap is still weird depending on how old you are. besides, the age of consent differs between different states
    +1
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    also my reasoning for adult age being 21 is because the reason that's the drinking (and now smoking) age is because it "gives them more time to think rationally and not drive drunk"
    so you should have that extra time to mature and think rationally before going to serve in the military or vote

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    tl;dr the "adult" age and the legal drinking age (and voting age) here in the US should be the same

    It's all good no one pays attention to the law anyway lol
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What about making kids wait till 18 or 21 to drive? And yea is messed up, you can join army and die for your country at age 18, but you can't drink alcohol or smoke a cig til 21, is ridiculous

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    If someone is in the military they should be allowed to smoke and drink at 18.... Would help drive recruitment lol

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    We all know they do and will anyways. I think laws prevented them only pushes them to illegally do it. Even tho if was legal, most prob wouldn't even bother. Not a big deal or risque if its legal, no fun.

    That's why some kids don't mind having a rap sheet or two just so they never get drafted

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    also, i think the voting age should match the adult and drinking ages too, because by the logic of giving them time to mature and think rationally so they don't drive drunk, then they should also have that time to mature and think rationally so they can think for themselves

    because self deprecating humor is important, as long as it doesn't turn into self hate. because you can't really make fun of anyone if you can't even make fun of yourself
