I guess bumping your own topic is okay in this situation and a new one would be redundant.
I have to carefully read the complete thread again after this long time so this reply might be incomplete and I might edit it later. My main statement still stands: I suspect the custom firmware has been uninstalled and non-legit titles prevent System Settings from working. A custom keyboard will also not work when CFW is deleted. The ntrboot method is the main unbricking method if there is no B9S installed.
Since there are some new exploits (browser based) you might have luck if you are on latest version (or can update to latest version via safe mode). Note that the 3DS has to be connected to the internet and the non working keyboard makes trouble. See if you can successfully complete one of those online methods:

This was a stupid idea: Requires System Settings working.
There is also safecerthax (old 3DS models only) but it requires entering the IP of a DNS server.

and...
ntrboot; any firmware version, offline, even if some parts of the main operating system are missing, damaged or not working.

Then prepare your SD according to the guide and try the browser exploit.

Hopefully your camera works so you can use the QR code instead of manually entering the URL (since the keyboard is non-functional).
Well that is good news! Glad it is working.
On 3DS -- opposed to the Switch -- there is virtually no online banning for using CFW. The only way to get banned is cheating online or criminal activity like using stolen credit card information.
Using NNID with CFW is considered to be safe. The forum would be full of whining if there was anything ban-related.

TwoSpikedHands:
yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

@
TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one

@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@
The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -
