Hi. I followed this guide to update my existing installation of a9lh to b9s and, to my understanding, everything went completely well. I booted my 3ds, played some games, installed some new CIAs, turned it off, turned it on, I had no issues with it whatsoever. Earlier today I played a VC game and left my 3DS on sleep mode and when I came back to it, I was greeted by a black screen. I tried turning it off and on but the black screen persisted. Here's the specifics:
Model: o3DS which I believe was on the latest update (can't confirm though, for obvious reasons)
Softmod: I installed boot9strap 1.3 + Luma3DS 9.0
Godmode9 and the Luma settings menu both still work.
I've read this troubleshooting guide and it seems to suggest going into recovery mode and updating from there which I find a bit suspect. Is that really safe?
I have tried the other methods included in the troubleshooting guide including booting without an SD card and Cartridge, and deleting the home menu's extdata with no success. I did not try doing CTRTransfer as I don't understand what it is and how it could possibly affect my system and/or how it would help to rescue it from a black screen. Would it be safe to use?
I also still have the sysnand backup made after installing b9s.
Any ideas on what's the best course of action here? I feel like whatever I choose I'll only get one shot and that's a bit scary. Also, any ideas on what could have caused the black screen in the first place? I find it odd how seemingly spontaneous it was. Last thing I remember doing was trying to download an update for a game from the home menu that turned out to be too large for the SD card. Could that be related?
