It worked. Thank god. I pressed select too late though. Gotta redo the power on so I can boot into Luma.
Hacking Is CFW worth the risk?

You said:
That's a claim of fact.
As I said, if you have an opinion, you should state is as such, as well as that your opinion is based on no evidence whatsoever.
Start holding down the select button before you press the power button and keep holding select until you see the Luma menu.

So hold the select button even if it enters the home menu to see if Luma pops up?
No. The Luma menu should open up almost immediately when select is being held. If the Home Menu is appearing even when holding select on boot, then it sounds like you haven't actually installed A9LH. Are you still on 2.1.0?
Actually, I think I need to redo the A9LH installation, because I never got the otp.bin

Yes, I am stil on 2.1.0
In my opinion, 3DS consoles with A9LH installed won't stop working even after NIntendo releases a new firmware version.
Done.
I don't want to off-topic the thread anymore, but just one last comment. I never wrote anything like: "It's confirmed that Nintendo can't lock A9LH'd systems. Aurora Wright said so." That would be a lie, and that would've meant I stated something as a fact.
I just made a sentence, without stating evidence nor confirmation from anyone else, it should be taken as an opinion, I think it should be common sense, if you see someone say something without a confirming source or more people backing it up, it's either an opinion or someone trolling. In my case, it was the first one. As simple as that.
Whatever, good that the Original Poster advanced through his problem. Good luck everyone.
How long does it take to download the A9LH because everytime I do it, I never get the otp.bin...

It might be your internet the only way to fix that is by using diffrent internet. This has been happining to quite a few recently it seems using diffrent internet may fix it.
Your lucky wouldnt want to be one of those unlucky few who had the internet problem.
To add some context; the 3ds.guide is viewed by millions a week [not sure how github handles revisits - don't think it uses cookies] so if even 1% did follow the guide
the whole way through and 1% actually 'bricked' there would be alot more reports than there seems to be.
In order to remove a9lh Ninty need to either remove the luma/cfw arm9loaderhax.bin file that is providing nfirm protection or find a way to circumvent the protection and then force an update. Things legally that they I don't believe they can do.
Additionally I don't believe they [Ninty] can touch anything outside of the encrypted Nintendo 3DS folder and I guess the DCIM for the camera.

I have no intention of continuing this off-topic nonsense either, but if you do have an unsubstantiated opinion, it's not too difficult to start a sentence with "I think that". You made a claim (or phrased an opinion as a claim), and I called you out. I'm glad to see you owned up to your mistake.
Great! Can you now successfully boot into the Luma3DS config menu?

You would make a great special education teacher, you're so patient!
Actually, when I try to restore the SysNAND, it says "SysNAND Restore (keepa9lh): failed!" Is there a fix for this?

Maybe your backup is corrupted. Follow this:
https://3ds.guide/9.2.0-ctrtransfer.html
It's the same process you used to get to 2.1, but this will set your console to 9.2. You can update to 11.2 after following it.
You've been a big help on my quest to get CFW. Thanks, I'll try it.
