Not an expert on otp less downgrades.
I have not tried to do otp less downgrade.
I saw more that 2 post that said they have bricks.
Not a lot of good guides out there that tell every step.

I had a black screen of death and recovered also did the dsi down grade.
just saying what I had to fix my problem.

Yeah strange I used 2.5.1 myself without any issues like I said after black screen then reset console after 20 secs then success.

I always redownload the files twice and use a file compare program (beyond compare) to make sure I got the right installer/a9lh/input v3/etc...

When you tried to load from homebrew did it go staring to black screen? Did you press select?

Iys very strange for safeA9lhinstaller to fail like this.

Maybe like @buckshot6 said something got corrupted with your home folder. Try a fresh SD card formatted to fat32 with 32kb clusters and see if it boots (may take 30-40 secs).

Did you make a backup of the Nintendo 3DS folder from part 1?

It doesn't boot even withou the card, but i'll try it.

I got the installer screen and pressed select. I had others devices with glitched screen but even then I was able to ARM9Hax them but in this case I really have no idea

Sorry to hear this, unfortunately yes this means you got a brick if you pressed select and it tried to install A9LH and now it boots without SD. Both my black screens where just trying to launch the program.

This bug was found on 2.5.1 but no issues were reported for it:
  • The previous A9LH key2 was wrong and skipped the first 16 bytes of stage1. While this hasn't caused issues to date, the key has been replaced with a new one found again by @gemarcano. The key will also be updated on the fly as soon as you update the A9LH payloads.
At least you have a NAND backup, you can get it hardmodded and recover the device. Best of luck!

    @BigOnYa I had 4.89 hfw on super slim that was great, but when I got a new hard disk I forgot where the guide was and could only find a guide for 4.90 and its resources

    Going to the water park, see ya
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Have fun @Xdqwerty. If you see a chocolate candy bar floating in the water, don't eat it!

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.
