So if you have CFW on the 3DS (through ntrboot with a flashcart) you do not need to use the flashcart's SD card for storage of 3DS games you want to play?

The flashcart can only be used for DS games, you install 3DS games to the SD card in your console.

Just make a NAND backup, rename the backup file on your SD card, switch to the other region, make a new NAND backup. Then you can restore whichever one you like. To open GodMode9 hold Start on boot.
Aaand here i am again..
I asked for help a couple of weeks ago for my o2ds, and everything went fine, but now my issue is about the N2ds.
I got it as christmas present, and i knew that if i wanted to mod it i needed at least a modded o2ds.
So, since i had it, i decided to follow a step by step guide from a reliable youtube video.
Everything went fine except when it came to start the Luma config:
I did the system transfer from o2ds to the n2ds, and managed to recover the mod on the source console through all that sd card swapping stuff.
BUT..if i use the sudoku method on my n2ds-->dump F0F1-->Install boot9strap, the console just won't enter the luma config menu as i restart it..
I'm stuck right here, unable to enter to luma config and unable to finish the mod guide i'm following, after HOURS of waiting (i forgot to delete the games before the system transfer, and it took around 12 hours to complete ).
Can anybody lend me a helpful hand?

Ok, for future: Never follow video guides. Can you enter Luma config if you hold select on boot?
Unfortunately not..it just won't load that menu, the console normally starts loading the Nintendo dashboard :/
I also tried to turn on the console without the sd and with the sd back in, with the select button too, but nothing happens :/
If you remove your SD card and boot the console while holding select, does anything happen? If not, then you didn't install CFW successfully. If you had installed CFW the console will either refuse to boot (just the LED light will blink and turn off) or the Luma config menu will show up when holding select with NO SD card inserted if you copied Luma to CTRNAND. So if you can't open the Luma menu at all, you don't have CFW on that console. If it wasn't reading your SD card and you did have CFW installed, the console wouldn't even come on unless you have Luma in CTRNAND as well so the fact it does proves it's not a missing file or anything. You just don't have CFW
Yup i tried before, but re-tried even now, the console without its sd card (and pressing the select button) just turns on normally, nothing else show up except for the original dashboard..
So, if i didn't put the cfw successfully, how should i proceed now?
My o2ds is back to normal ( after a few steps i followed)after the data transfer, meaning it allows me to play games via freeshop.. should i repeat the whole process after 7 days?

Then just try the install again.... It didn't work for whatever reason, if the console just wasn't reading the SD card and you had CFW already it would boot to a blackscreen unless it was copied to CTRNAND afterwards but I don't even think you got that far.....
You don't have to dump the firm again if it already exists in the "boot9strap" folder on the root of your SD card. Check that first to be honest, to see if that even worked. I find it odd that it didn't work the first time......
Then just run the dsiware and "install boot9strap" force power off the console, replace the boot.firm on the root of your SD card with Luma's (download a fresh one, don't use the one you already have) and when you turn the console on it should automatically boot to the Luma config menu; if it boots to a blackscreen, you have B9S installed but it can't find a payload if it boots to the homemenu while the SD card is inserted then B9S was not installed.
Just followed your steps, i've downloaded the fresh luma boot.firm, it was 9.0 version.
Replaced it, started the console and the luma config menu appeared! Yay!!
But uhm..what to do now?^^"
The guide i was following tells to highlight the 'show NAND or user string in System Settings' option, and then to press start to reboot..is it right?
(i tried it, and after that i should go to 'download play' and press L+down..but nothing happens for me)
Thanks anyway for your help so far
L+Down+Select not just L+Down.....Just followed your steps, i've downloaded the fresh luma boot.firm, it was 9.0 version.
