Hello,
I hacked my New 3DS XL (in 11.16) some time ago and wanted to reset it because of some slowness issues. But when I tried to reinstall the hack via BannerBomb, it didn't work (The hack crashes before the magenta screen of the DSi backups menu). I searched for another hack method but the willow I found is Pichaxx except it was patched in the new 11.16 update. If anyone has an idea how to hack my console, please send it to me.
Thanks in advance (and sorry for the English, I'm French).
 
I'm going to be honest here and I'm not trying to be offensive but I have zero idea what you're trying to do ... You read as if you intend on using the entry point that you used to hack your system in order to unhack your system, which is not how it's done. Please list what your system has been through for instance did you actually remove custom firmware or where you (/are you) still looking for a way ... Also you keep saying resetting the 3DS what do you mean by this like going into your system settings and factory resetting it? If so then you indeed still have CFW on your system which is why you can't install CFW on your system

never try to "undo" a 3ds hack, you will end in a Brick, you always can restore a NAND backup or factory reset.

That could be a problem with the sd card you're using. Maybe it's not formatted properly, or is defective.
But when I tried to reinstall the hack via BannerBomb, it didn't work (The hack crashes before the magenta screen of the DSi backups menu).
But I don't have it anymore because by resetting the 3DS I also deleted CFW from GodMode9
Here's what you gonna do to get your system into a working shape:
First you gonna test that sdcard you're using with h2testw to make sure it's not faulty or defective. Backup your data before doing so.
Do the test with the "write & read" setting. Format the sd card as Fat32 32kb cluster size before and after the test.
- If it passes the test, format it then follow the guides that i'll be linking below.
- Otherwise if it didn't pass the test, then it's faulty you need to get a new replacement sd card.
Follow this to get Luma3DS, and this.

Redoing a hack on already hacked system only because it seems to slow down, is....
The hack installs the boot rom boot9strap. This allows to launch your cfw firm luma, gm9, decrypt9. . or what ever.
If, you may update boot9strap to 1.4, or if possible reinstall with godemode9.
If other problems appear just use system restore, it will not affect the boot9strap installation but you have a clean system. Or use the recovery menu to reinstall the latest 3DS firmware. Hold A+R+L+Up(DPad) at boot.
Best solution would normaly reflashing a clean Nandbackup with gm9.
In worst case (a brick) you might use ntrboot with a flashcard to reinstall b9s.

In fact, the goal of my idea, which was a bit stupid, was to completely reinstall CFW (I should point out that I didn't just have problems with slowness). I deleted it (currently I no longer have CFW installed) and I can't reinstall it because the only technique I know (BannerBomb) no longer works.
To summarize I no longer have CFW installed and I am looking for a way to reinstall it.
I made a backup of the Nand and the SD card before deleting the hack if the console ever needs to be restored.
I also tested the SD card but no problem was detected.
Sorry if I misdescribed my problem and I hope this message will be better understood.
Thanks

The main question is. How exactly did you go about deleting cfw?

Oh Ok, didnt saw that😅
DSTTwo is not compatible with ntrboot because of strong decryption.

If Bannerbomb will stuck everytime, thats a problem now.. Maybe a CTRTransfer befor deleting the hax had helped to repair your slow system 🤨

U can try to reinstall the latest firmware over recoverymenu. Then trying the bannerbomb hack again.

EDIT: There are also other methods available to install boot9strap over the site navigation:
https://3ds.hacks.guide/site-navigation
But the eshop for 3DS is closing, if they need to install a game to run a exploid.

Edited: As very last solution and only if you have solderskills, (else you get a hardware brick). There is also a hardmod way wich requires soldering.

The best/fastest method has always been NTR boot. You just need a compatible flash cart and a magnet.

https://3ds.hacks.guide/ntrboot.html
Ntrboot is only faster if you already have a compatible flashcart. Otherwise, it's 10-20 days slower considering China Post's typical shipping time. And $20 avg more expensive (they've gone up in price).

Now, if you did seedminer first before buying an ntrboot cart, you'd have more of a selection of carts to choose from (like ak2i, TTDS, and others). Some of them are a lot cheaper than the pre flashed ones. Seedminer and ntrboot don't have to be enemies, they can compliment one another.

You should still be able to install custom firmware by getting HBL access with PicHaxx, running slotTool to install the hacked wifi slots, then continuing with USM. Some (slightly outdated) instructions available here.

And obviously, don't ever uninstall CFW to try to fix an issue in the future.
 
If you dont have or getting a compatible flashcard, there is also a hardmod way wich requires soldering.

Please not. Theoretically a correct answer. Problem is, that this is an almost guaranteed way of hardware bricking a 3DS if you are not a soldering professional.

Remember that ntrboot is much safer, easier and can do much more than hardmod.

First try if no ntrboot compatible flashcart at hand: Any pure software methods from the Seedminer possibilities.
Only if this fails completely (shouldn't be the case), buy a compatible flashcart.

And obviously, don't ever uninstall CFW to try to fix an issue in the future.
*Sigh* It keeps happening…
