So I'm just trying this for fun since I already have a9lh.
Does anyone know if this will work if you're already on luma? I'm getting the black screen issue and don't really want to keep trying if it just doesn't work on cfw. ;)
No there are patches built in the CFW. If you really want to test it, you need Corbenik CFW.

Again, for anyone new to this stuff. if you follow the arm9 guide exact. You can NEVER lose arm9. Update. go to eshop. anything you want.
At least until an update comes out, but I'm sure there'll be 50 threads screaming about it when it does.
can i turn off the new 3ds xl if i'm on 2.1?
You should be fine to turn it off, just don't close the lid; if you want to be super safe do it in one go but closing the lid is all that's proven to cause problems.
So, if I downgrade to 2.1 can I update specifically to the 9.2 FW and install CFW?
You don't need to go to 9.2 at all; we needed that for ARM9 and Safehax is ARM9; you just go to 2.1 to install A9LH and from there you already have CFW.

Sorry I'm new to this, what is an A9LH?

It is the exploit that allows one to run CFW. If you follow the guide we linked you will have CFW when done.

i plan on it when i start but if lets say one had to turn off there 3ds then what would happen.

I would advise doing it at a time when you can complete start to finish to avoid any issues.

You'd turn it back on later and still be on 2.1.
However, coming back later you may forget important things like "don't close the 3DS" (or someone else may touch it) so be very careful.

When you guys say the NAND backup... in what step is that backup created? Will I keep my digital games and saves by following the guide?

It is in the step where you CTRtransfer to 2.1, the guide will have you restore everything so yes.

Can someone explain what to do on O3ds 11.1?

Do you have an entrypoint for HBL besides soundhax?

You create the NAND backup when you're in Decrypt9; when you go to do a CTRTransfer it prompts to make a backup; just say yes there.
Your current legitimate content and saves will be fine, you restore the backup in the end (but keep A9LH).

If you want to be super safe, back up your SD card's contents, but really just following the guide should get you back where you started but with A9LH.

I followed the guide to Section II and selected Ticket Dump (SysNAND) but I haven't got any .tik files

Wierd in the files9 folder? did it say successful on the screen?

I tried using Tsume's safehax+steelhax to load Decrypt9 but I keep getting black screen after loading safehax on o3ds 11.2E

I've made files9 and I renamed Decrypt9 to arm9 help pls

Edit: NVM you are on 11.2, keep trying?
