This is a long story but I'll try to keep it as simple as possible.
Basically I used to play the (New 3DS XL Red) with Luma3DS during 2019-2020. But I don't have a lot of Micro-SD cards except for 1 which is the one I use for my 3DS (I will call this MicroSD card - Card A which has 16GB).
I recently during late 2020 formatted Card A completely so that I can have a clean and fresh card for school, this includes ALL the original 3DS files including all the luma files, boot.firms, cias, etc basically nothing on the card. I finished my school work with the Card A so I bought Card B (64GB), I plan to use Card B for school and Card A for the 3DS again since I miss playing games on it. Yesterday, I wasn't really paying attention but I accidentally updated my firmware to 11.14.0. There's 2 problems right now.
1) If I try to boot up my 3DS with Card A it just doesn't boot up, I've tried 3 times and waited 10 minutes each time. It's just a black screen although the blue light is there so it's still getting power.

2) If I try to boot up my 3DS without a Card, it used to boot up but since I've accidentally updated the firmware it now gives me the following issue: (An exception occurred: You can find the dump in the following file: CTRNAND:/luma/dumps/arm11/crash_dump_00000006.dmp). Again, I've formatted the card completely so I can't locate the file they're talking about. Also, I've seen tutorials but they replace the old files with the new ones, the thing is, I have 0 files on my card.

I've tried updating to the new Luma v10.2.1 by just putting boot.firm & boot.3dsx on the root of Card A (which has no files at all, 0) and it doesn't work. I was wondering if anyone could help me with this issue, Thanks!

Reminder: My Card A has no files on it, I've completely formatted it so this includes the school files and the 3Ds files that I was supposed to update. Sorry if I sound I little mad in this post, I'm a little worried.

Your clean SD card has the correct format? That is FAT32, 32kB cluster size, marked as primary partition and using MBR allocation table type

Yes I have formatted it to FAT32, the card has 16GB but I don't know about the rest,

EDIT: Idk how it didn't notice this during my 3 tests of the boot up with Micro-SD Card but basically:
Whenever I boot up the 3DS with a MIcro-SD inserted, the blue light turns out, the screen stays black, no sound either, after like 10-15 seconds the blue light turns off and nothing happens after.

It would be better if you check for the health of your SD card, following this. Later, you can try with this other post says.
