To anyone that misunderstood this. This was a user error. At least it seems like that. If anyone knows anything i could do other than hardmod restore, i'd appreciate any help.

If it's a blue screen and you can't enter recovery mode you will need a hardmod.
Try:
Taking out the SD card
Recovery mode (A+R+L+Up)
Putting an A9LH payload on the SD card

Recovery mode (A+R+L+Up)

Only do this if you have an old 3DS!

i've taken out the sd card. screen doesn't even init, but blue led stays on. (the 3ds stays at a black screen, without lighting it. but it does light when u have the sd card reader plugged in. gives me the bootrom error)
recovery mode doesn't work.
the payload does nothing
EDIT: seems like my only solution is to get an sd card reader that works with the 3ds nand

Why not do it if you have a New 3DS?

It used to be a very high brick rate back in January...... I bricked three times when i did OTP extraction on 16th of February. No automatic tools back then kiddies.....

EDIT: Missed a number in the date

It bricks if you have a N3DS, while in the case of an O3DS, it simply removes A9LH (making it perfect for our needs here).
