Alright,
So I've been having a few problems with my 3DS today. (N3DSXL Running Luma 9.1and B9S)
When I first booted up my 3DS today, I got an error message, which sometimes happened for me, but I thought not much of it. I turned it off then rebooted. It booted into the home menu, then froze. I thought it was a bit strange, although it has happened so I thought it may be a coincidence. I tried a couple more times, the 3DS freezing when selecting the save file of a game, when booting into the menu, or trying to boot a game, and sometimes got an error message. At times, the 'on' light would flash on and off, but booted after. I seemed to have fixed this problem earlier by re-applying the boot.firm file for 11.8. Everything seemed fine,I booted up a game and played it for about 20 minutes then turned it off.
That was about 2-4 hours ago. I recently tried booting up the 3DS again, and it booted into the home menu, but crashed when trying to select the game. I went on a couple more times, however, it kept crashing. Now, the 'on' light will flash on and then shut down. Or it will stay on, however not boot into the menu. In that case, I can load the Luma Config and GM9. I'll occasionally get the message "Unable to mount CTRNAND or load the CTRNAND FIRM. Please use an external one." I also tried to boot up my 3DS without the SD card inserted, and got an error message saying it could not load "1 firm patch(es)"
Now, the question remains,
How do I go about fixing this? Or have I bricked my 3DS?
