Your original file is not valid.

Because Sigil alters the layout of the file to a certain structure it may be what's causing the epub to then not work in your reader.

Unless you want to completely redo the whole file making it valid, you may do better loading the epub into calibre, 'Tweak'ing it (extracts the files), edit by hand (changing your title) and then rebuild the epub. The resulting epub should be the same as your invalid one, with just the title changed (no structure change).

Or you may be able using calibre to send the book to the reader, or export it from calibre (Save to Disk), the metadata - including Title should get rewritten, you could then use that exported file to load into your reader.

Hope that all makes sense.
