Boot into godmode9 and fix it

Things I've tried:

• i replace boot files with latest version of Luma (didn't work)
• i used the latest version of Luma on a formatted SD card (didn't work)
• START + POWER: doesn't boot
• SELECT+ POWER: doesn't boot
• A + L + R + UP + POWER: doesn't boot
• X + START + SELECT: nothing

He might have had a different combo for starting up FIRMS. Try some different combos to get into godmode9, so you can backup your NAND, or ask if he has NAND backups.
