Delete the arm9loaderhax.bin from the root of the sd and delete the "bak" extension from the original arm9loaderhax.bin.bak you had before updating. Try it again but dont use the nightly version,

Also, if you are on V2 a9lh try deleting the "firmware".bin if you have one in the payloads folder, if you have updated from 5.5 to 6.1 but the try the 1st one I mentioned first.

Does this happen at every boot? I know Luma can fail to boot every once and a while. This happens to me about 1/50 boots.

If it happens every time then load the backup that star updater created and try again

EDIT: Restore your backup this was caused by a bug with star updater. Once you have your system on again remove star updater and use luma updater instead

StarUpdater is downloading a broken build from the developer's site. Use LumaUpdater or download the .7z from your PC

Hah, I had the same issue. I deleted arm9loaderhax.bin and Luma3ds.dat. I downloaded the latest version off the Luma site, still black screened, so I removed the Luma3ds.dat file, and it worked again.

Hah, I posted that, and now I am once again doomed with a black screen of death!
