I hacked my 3ds all by myself. I followed a tutorial video and I got it correctly but when I checked systems setting it showed VER instead of SYS so I got confused and opened eveything on my console including luma3ds updater. I closed my console and when I opened it, it got bricked. I panicked and deleted eveything in my sd card. After doing so, I searched how to reinstall deleted files and how to unbrick but in just showed me "an error has occured"

Can someone please help me?

Can you also share what you used to install cfw? It seems to either be sd failure or you broke something on the nand (which I don't think you even need to do the gm9 steps to use freeshop if you are just trying to get free games)
If you followed a half-decent guide it made you make a nand backup, try to restore that.

That is assuming she didn't delete the NAND backup when she wiped her memory card...

Look, @CarlaTheKnees, try to tell us step by step what you did so we can know where you messed up exactly, because I doubt a video guide can be THAT bad...:/ Also, NEVER use video guides, always follow 3ds.guide, otherwise, you can't really complain if you bricked despite everyone warning you (or at least I hope there was some kind of warning on the video or a hint of 3ds.guide), it's being dumb and won't load for me to see for myself unfortunately.

do you have a ds flashcard? If all else fails, that'll be your saving grace (you can order them for around 15 dollars online).

What tutorial did you use to get cfw (you have it if you have fbi etc on the home menu)

this is the guide to install FreeShop, but which guide to you use to install CFW? We need to know, but anyway, make you sure that necessary files for your CFW are on your SDCard, then, first of all, try pressing Select while you boot up your system, if that worked, assuming you have a NAND backup, you are safe
