if you reach luma configuration pressing select on boot, and the configuration shows up in second 0: your device is NOT bricked. Can you reach hourglass9 booting with start button pressed?

With the device off: hold start, then power on. Hold until hourglass9 appears.

If doesn't work: please verify the file start_hourglass9.bin is in SD:/luma/payloads/ and try again.
If doesn't work: redownload hourglass9 and try again.

Once working: continue with the guide.

You clearly didn't read the entire Section 3, because it says:
  • If you get a black screen, just continue to the next section
  • If you get a “Failed to mount CTRNAND” error, just continue to the next section
Edit: I see, you can't boot the chainloader menu. Make sure Luma is updated to the latest version.
If it still doesn't work, try the latest build here: https://jenkins.hakujou.fr/job/3DS/job/Luma3DS/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/Luma3DS.zip

As long as you can boot the Luma3DS menu, your 3DS is probably recoverable, don't worry.
where will i put the files sir? only arm9loaderhax.bin or the entire content?

You only need arm9loaderhax.bin.

If that still doesn't work, try renaming Hourglass9.bin to start_Hourglass9.bin and try again. This shouldn't be necessary anymore now that Luma has a chainloader menu, but since that doesn't seem to be working for you, it's worth a shot.

    I would like a Predator game "Kill Team" it takes place in the Jungle of the first movie, your team is sent to hunt the predator, using current tech drones and a trained team. Set traps use strategy to hunt and trap or kill the predator.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Ill stick with my Battlefield. Yea a predator hunting game like that would be cool. Esp if you can be Arnold and say "Get to da choppa"

    I went today and looked at a motorcycle someone was selling. I get there and the battery on it was dead, so the guy grabbed a battery charger and hooked it up. He plugged it into the wall, and the motorcycle sparked and started smoking. Come to find out the bike uses a 6 volt battery and the guy had the charger set to 12v. I said sorry to the dude and walked away. I felt bad for him tho.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Sounds like it would be an exciting ride....
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure I would want something on fire between my legs
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    He ruined it basically. Sad cause it was a decent old bike. It would take more money to rewire the bike than it was worth tho.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I'm sure at minimum the starter was fried
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Alternator and battery
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Prob alot of fried parts. It was still smoking when I left.
