well it shouldnt be the sd card as ive used it before I JUST GOT luma 3ds to boot the 3ds but i really dont want to lose everything with me having it all backed up and such

make sure you have the required files for your 3ds to boot on the root of your sd card, I remember it was arm9loaderhax.bin and i'm not sure if boot.3dsx was also required, if that doesn't work maybe the files got corrupted, download them again from the luma github page.

If the blue light comes on for a second before turning off again, this means only one thing: boot.firm (or arm9loaderhax.bin if your system still had A9LH instead of B9S) was not found in the root of your SD card. Make sure it is there, and if it is, make sure it is formatted FAT32 and properly inserted into the 3DS.

Did you restored correctly your NAND or you tried at the least, with other game?
