Solution:

Delete the old secret key from the key folder in the ES file browser (the secret key is usually in the serial number folder and begins with “ST”).

Once in the ES File Browser, go to “Local-Home-DP-961400063990 (your device serial number)” in the upper left corner and check if there are two files starting with “ST” in the folder. Delete the old one. Then try again.
