Hello, I'm an o3ds user with rxTools installed.
I recently followed these threads (https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-patch-twl_firm-to-play-normally-blocked-ds-games.414578/, https://gbatemp.net/threads/r4-stage2-twl-flashcart-launcher-and-perhaps-other-cards-soon™.416434/) to to run my R4DS cart on my 3DS. But after I installed those two cias on my sysnand NAND, when I restarted my 3DS I can't launch rxmenu either with mset or browserhax. And stupidly, I ignored the first thread's recommendation to backup the sysnand, and I've lost my only sysnand backup, which I made when installing rxTools. So now I'm simply stuck, not being able to launch FBI, not being able to clean up the mess I've done.
Is there any way to get out of this?

Get rid of rxTools, at least update to Luma3DS. https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/wiki/Installation-and-upgrade

Follow the tutorial that proflayton123 recommended. Everyone should be on A9LH+Luma at this point, and rxTools is dead. It's not coming back any time soon, but it's outdated anyway.

After following that tutorial, follow this: http://3ds.guide (you can do this from the start, but you should uninstall menuhax first if it's installed, and delete any rxTools files on your SD card - make sure you back up your SD card first).

Just a bit of advise. You should go A9LH.
Since 11.3 right now is totally unhackable with NFIRM patch. if you accidently update sysNAND, you're doom.
Any hardmod can't help you hack again (unless you have NAND backup below 11.3) until the new arm9 exploit is out.
