| 3uTools server-side issue | 3uTools relies on its own relay/proxy to fetch blobs; if their backend is down or rate-limited, this error appears. |
| Device ECID mismatch | Rare but possible – ECID not read correctly from device. |
| Outdated 3uTools version | Older versions may use deprecated APIs or server endpoints. |
