He means that his shoulder LED doesn't light up red/green/orange/blue anymore but instead just plain white and that his 3DS is not booting.

From a brief Google search, it appears that this likely indicates a brick, as "0xFFFFFF" is the hex for white, and if the led is receiving that code, then it likely is bricked in some fashion, and you should probably proceed with steps to attempt to recover the device.

(Can't post the link but googling "white led 3ds" should bring up several GBATemp threads on this very topic)

Lets start with what guide and where you were in it when this happened.

From boot9strap readme for LED status codes:

SD FIRM missing, CTRNAND FIRM also missing: white

As stated above, start by telling us what guide and how far you got with it

Better not, was for sure some outdated Youtube guide.

Sometimes people do a bad job of following good instructions

where the orange charging/spotpass light

Those are not the same, are you sure you're seeing this white color in both and not just in the notification led (not in the power led)?

Also check this. Check the root of your of your if you have a file named boot.firm (Luma3DS), if not, get it from here (that's the latest), and try powering it again.
Also one more thing to note, if you have a old 3ds (or xl) system, that can read standard sd cards (not micro), check the lock slider on the adapter (if you're using one) as it could be locked, preventing the 3ds to read from it.

and dosnt even start up

Can you access GodMode9 when holding the "start" button on boot?

i followed everything i was soupose to be doing step by step

What were you trying to do exactly to do exactly, and what guide were you following?
