Don't need to do anything with nands.

You need wifi to update the 3ds.

got it all done now
upto this part now

You can now use Luma3DS Updater to update your Luma3DS to the latest version just by opening it and pressing (A).
This is not the same thing as a System Update; it just downloads and extracts the newest Luma3DS files. This will only update the Luma3DS files on your SD card. If you boot your device without an SD card, it will use the version you placed in CTRNAND.
You will now boot Luma3DS CFW SysNAND by default.
You can now hold (Select) on boot to launch the Luma3DS configuration menu.
You can now hold (Start) on boot to launch the Luma3DS chainloader menu (note that the Luma3DS chainloader menu is only displayed if there is more than one payload detected).
You can now hold (Start) + (Select) + (X) on boot to dump the ARM11 bootrom (boot11.bin), the ARM9 bootrom (boot9.bin), and your console unique OTP (OTP.bin) to the /boot9strap/ folder on your SD card (note that this will not have any kind of prompt or message).
You can now press (L) + (Down) + (Select) while the system is booted to open the Rosalina menu integrated into Luma3DS. For a full list of Rosalina features, please see the Luma3DS v8.0 Release

is this all wifi related or is there anymore I can do now?
whats next with games etc?

many thanks for all the help with this

That's just telling you what you CAN do. You're now done with the guide other than updating the system. For installing games you can download them as cia and install with FBI (the harder way) or install freeshop and install them from there (the easier way, requires wifi in the 3ds)

Would it be possible to do something like this https://www.reddit.com/r/3dshacks/comments/53ofdw/psa_you_can_fix_a_broken_nand_without_a_backup/

If my friend has 11.3.0 and I have 11.4? I'm assuming we'd both have to have the same firmware, right?

Why do you want to do this? Did one of you brick without a backup?

More specifically, my 3DS pretty much bricked itself. Dunno if it's a hardware issue or software, but all the lights turn on and I can access recovery, so I'm assuming it's software.

I could, but I'd also like to keep my nand data.

Friend list, streetpasses, etc. Will all of that be retained?

I'm not exactly sure. I'll try it or if someone knows already please let us know.
