Okay I think I've bricked my system. Help!
So I have a new 3ds and a while ago I followed the 3ds guide to get a9lh installed on my SysNAND, all worked a-ok. I wanted to sell the machine which I tried with the CFW installed but ebay kept taking my listing down so I thought I would restore back to stock factory for sale. I booted into Decrypt9 by holding left when booting my device, in Decrypt 9 I then made a backup of my current system and then went on to restore the backup I made when asked to in the 3ds guide before installing a9lh ( I chose the option to restore backup out of the 3, restore, forced restore, restore keep a9lh). Decrypt 9 did its thing, I watched the % tick up, it then rebooted, blue light then turned off. Now it wont boot. Black screen and blue light comes on for around 12 seconds then it turns off. Ive tried holding left, start, with SD card, without SD card, with arm9loaderhax.bin on sd card and without. Was running 11.2
Any ideas greatly appreciated
EDIT: Found my Decrypt9 log, looks like I didn't copy the .sha over so maybe it was corrupted?:
You selected [NAND Restore].
!!! THIS WILL OVERWRITE THE A9LH !!!
!!! INSTALLATION IN YOUR SYSNAND !!!
If you wish to proceed, enter:
<Right>, <Down>, <Left>, <Down>, <A>
(B to return, START to reboot)
Selected: [NAND Restore]
Use arrow keys and <A> to choose a file
NANDmin.bin
Validating NAND dump NANDmin.bin...
Verifying dump via .SHA...
.SHA not found, skipped
Opening NANDmin.bin ...
Small NAND backup, using minimum size...
Restoring SysNAND. Size (MB): 1240
NAND Restore: succeeded!
Press B to return, START to reboot.
