3ds Title Fixer is a script intended for consoles where apps are missing from the home screen but appear normally in System Settings -> Data Management. If your apps have gray <code>X</code>'s on them, use [[faketik]] to restore them. It scans through all of the apps installed on the SD card, and finds any with missing or malformed files or structures, and deletes them as they often cause issues with the home menu. It also has the functionality to verify every installed title's files if you are often getting <code>sd card was removed.</code> errors, or other errors that indicate corrupted applications, although this is a long process.  


== What You Need ==
==Instructions==


* The latest release of [https://github.com/danny8376/3ds%20essential%20dumper/releases 3ds essential dumper] (the <code>3ds_essential_dumper.firm</code> file)
==What You Need==


== Section 1 Prep Work ==
* The latest release of [https://github.com/chalenged/gm9-title-fixer/releases/latest 3ds title fixer] (the <code>y_title_fixer.firm</code> file)


# Power off your console
==Section I - Prep Work==
# Insert your SD card into your computer
# Rename <code>boot.firm</code> to <code>luma.firm</code>, if it exists
# Copy <code>3ds_essential_dumper.firm</code> to the root of your SD card
# Rename <code>3ds_essential_dumper.firm</code> to <code>boot.firm</code>
# Reinsert your SD card into your console


== Section II: Essential File Dumper ==
#Power off your console
{{info|Ensure your SD card has at least 1.3GB of free space if you plan on doing a NAND backup, and that it is formatted to FAT32 using [[Formatting an SD card|our guide]]}}
#Insert your SD card into your computer
# Copy <code>y_title_fixer.firm</code> to the <code>/luma/payloads/</code> folder on your SD card
#Reinsert your SD card into your console


# Power on your console
==Section II - 3ds Title Fixer ==
# When the Power and Notification LEDs flash red, press {{Key press|A}} to dump the NAND
 
#* If you do not need a NAND dump from the console, press {{Key press|B}} instead
# Press and hold {{B|Y}}, and while holding {{B|Y}}, power on your console. This will launch the Title Fixer script.
# Wait for the console to turn off. If dumping the NAND, this can take over 30 minutes to an hour
#Press {{B|A}} to unlock SysNAND (lvl1) writing, then input the key combo given
# Insert your SD card into your computer
#*If the permissions are not given, the script will still run but will not delete titles. You will have to manually delete them using the info from the log, or run the script with the permissions given in standard mode.
# Your dumped files will be in the <code>/edump/</code> folder on the SD card
#Select "Quick Test" and press A.
#*The script will scan your titles and find any with missing data, prompting you to delete them, and attempting to show the information for them on the top screen. They will need to be reinstalled if you want to keep them.
#*If the script doesn't find any, it likely can't solve your issue. The verification test is unlikely to fix the issue either, and would take a very long time to run in most cases.
#Once the script completes, select exit and press {{B|A}}  to exit, then press {{B|B}} to restart the system.
# Your apps should reappear on the home screen
#* If your apps still do not appear, ask for help in the [[Get support|Nintendo Homebrew Discord]], tell them you followed this guide, and give the log file located at <code>/gm9/out/title_fixer_log.txt</code>
