Hacking Can I still get CFW for free on 11.9 without a method that involves DSiWare?

So, my 3DS XL is on firmware version 11.9, and it cannot run DS games for whatever reason. This means the Frogminer method and other similar DSiWare methods won’t work. :(
I can’t seem to find a fast delivery time on any website for a R4i B9S flashcard (yes. I looked on the GBATemp approved one before you link me to that), so I need a free method to get custom firmware without using anything DSiWare related.
How can I do this? If you know, please do tell me how! :)

Have you tried running DS downloadplay AND DS internet? Sometimes if one or the other works, it can be fixed with fredminer.

Unless you are very good at soldering then you are pretty much out of lucky if you can't wait for a NTRboot flashcart.
I am not good at soldering my 3DS, as I could damage it, so my luck is out I guess.

Yes. Both do not work.

Things you can try (but probably won't do anything):
1. Recovery mode and update.
2. Factory reset.

This will solve everything:
Wait for your flashcard to arrive.
Find someone who can do "tiny" soldering.

Also, did you bought it new or used?

I now need a B9S R4i Card provider that ships to the UK really fast. Can anyone link me to one that fufills this requirement?

Sorry. The delivery time is not right. I cannot wait that long.
The longer you're talking about you not willing to wait, the longer you are actually going to wait.
You will wait no matter what, as you can't use frogminer and can't solder. Just search for something closer (which has the same card).

Hey. Chill. :(
I was just saying I can wait, just not that long (60 days max was what it said it might take)
I was looking for one that’d arrive in a week or 2.

I am chilled, but your "I can't wait" is pointless here as you literally have to wait if you can't find a better/faster shop.
Don’t worry about my (and I don’t know why you referred to me like this) “impatient” self anymore! I have found one which delivers to me in 1-3 working days and works with NTRBoot! Feel free to forget about my stupid self now! :)

Because you stated it 4 times in total ;)
But I didn't mean it offensively or anything.
