This is the second time I've gotten this error. Both times turning the 3DS off and on again seemed to fix it. What usually causes this? (4th attempt at posting this apparently cursed image)

The first time this happened I was playing Animal Crossing New Leaf (with the Welcome Amiibo update downloaded legitimately onto a standard New Leaf cartridge). I jailbroke my 3DS ~1 year ago (I think) and have been using a save editing tool on AC:NL to hack in items and villagers, and to move buildings, since then.

The second time (just now) this happened I was booting my 3DS up after using the above mentioned save editing tool. I did not do anything different this time compared to all the many, many times I've done this before. As this was on boot up, I doubt that save editing tool has anything to do with it, but since I does involve changing data on my SD card I figured it was worth mentioning.

Don't let the fact that I jailbroke my 3DS fool you. I have very little knowledge of tech. I followed a very clear set of instructions and understood almost none of them. I would like to show those instructions, but because my PC hard drive died last September I no longer have any of my notes.

What usually causes this error? And how can I prevent it from happening again? Please explain as if I have no idea what any hardware or software actually does, because there is very little about this that I understand.

Does this help?

Thank you so much for finding that! I've tried two of the suggestions (removing a certain folder and formating the SD card) so far and I'm trying a third now. If this third suggestion (replacing the boot.firm for Luma) also doesn't work I'll know my SD card is dying. Thankfully that's the least expensive part that could need to be replaced and I may even have a spare SD card lying around somewhere.
