It's nothing more than a play on the fact that the 3DS installer files have the extension CIA (CTR Importable Archive) which is a US government agency and FBI being another US government agency.

Hello, I have version 2.5.3 and obviously I can’t update through the app. Could someone explain to me how to manually update it?

If using the 3dsx version of FBI then Download the latest version then insert your sd card into your PC. Open the 3ds folder and delete fbi.3dsx then copy latest version of FBI to the same folder.

If using the CIA version just download the latest cia version of FBI and install it like any other cia.

i can’t get fbi to update. and i don’t remember how to install it manually. is it a simple drag and drop to the send card?
sure, if you use the .3dsx version. If you use it from your home screen, then you've installed the .cia version. In that case, simply drop the new .cia onto your card, fire up FBI, and install the new .cia.

Put in on your sd card wherever you keep your .cia files and then open FBI find where the .cia is and select it and say download it
