Unless you want someone to name all the software methods you've already tried, perhaps you should go into some more detail.

the LED flashes blue for a second

Is that the power LED, or the notification LED next to the R button?

Also, does anything different happen if you remove the SD card?

you're missing Luma's boot.firm, add that and it should hopefully boot

is it on the root of your SD card? I noticed you have file extensions turned off, so make sure it isn't boot.firm.firm

Alright, try copying the latest boot9strap.firm and .firm.sha to /boot9strap/ and copy safeb9sinstaller to /boot.firm, replacing Luma3DS. This will update b9s. When that's done, copy the Luma3DS boot.firm back to the root

so... by copying do you mean, droping the folder safeb9installer on the root and moving boot.firm in that folder?

theres lots of files in the safeb9installer zip file and idk what to do with them

No, copy safeb9sinstaller.firm to the root and rename it to boot.firm

 

[Leixco]

No, copy safeb9sinstaller.firm to the root and rename it to boot.firm

you didn't copy over the new b9s release it looks like

EDIT: nvm you did, are you sure you reinserted the card into the 3DS all the way?
