I just updated to boot9strap from a9lh. I went to update to the latest stable Luma, and now it won't boot. GodMode9 or the Luma config menu won't boot either. Any help?

So does the light turn on and stay on? Or does it turn immediately back off?

Not sure if it was the latest but I just followed this: https://3ds.guide/a9lh-to-b9s
What happens when you boot physically? What does the blue LED do?

It turns on for about 2 seconds, then shuts back down.

That happens when boot.firm is not found. I suggest re-downloading it and placing it in the root of your SD card.

download previous version of boot.firm via github and replace it on the root
No, he said he did update to b9s, 8.0 is b9s 1.2 only which he should have installed.

His problem is b9s is not finding boot.firm on the SD card root.

You can try all three - Luma 7.1 will work on b9s 1.0 and 1.1 (unlikely in your case), Luma 8.0 will run on b9s 1.2 and Luma 7.0.5 (arm9loaderhax.bin) will run on a9lh.
Believe it or not, it worked with Luma 7.1! I must have somehow been on an old b9s then. Thanks guys for your help, but what can I do now if I want to use Luma 8.0?
