Hacking 3DS won't boot!

[LordStarkiller]

I just tried to update Luma to 8.0 and allowed it to access CTRA and now it won't boot.

Is it bricked?

no you're not bricked you gotta update b9s to a newer version luma won't work on the previous version

What happened was I updated Luma to use boot.firm and such but was still on 7.1. and when I tried to update it to 8.0 it asked if I wanted to enable access to CTRA and I said yes and it was the update was sucessful but now it won't even boot up. The blue light comes on for a few seconds and fades.

Try boot.firm from Luma 8.0, and if that doesn't work try boot.firm from Luma 7.1.

try downloading luma 7.1 on your PC a put it in your sd card then boot up pressing start

Try a different SD card, it might be corrupted. The light going on then off means it can't find a firm file to boot with.

You need to follow the update part in 3ds.guide since 8.0 only runs on 1.2 of b9s

ok, I guess I'm boned, It installed to NAND for me, and wont even boot with the things he tried. Maybe it's an SD card issue, though, so IDK. 2ds is my console, if that helps at all.
EDIT: SDCARD DIED: yes. Bricked 2ds: no.
