I'm fixing a friend's 3DS that suddenly shut off while we were playing smash using the 3DS as a controller on my Wii U. I thought no big deal, his 3DS probably just freaked out or something so I just forced power off with the Rosalina menu and then when I tried to boot again, it stayed on the black screen. At this point he was kinda done for the night so he just left me with it to fix if I could and if I couldn't it wasn't really a big deal. I let it charge overnight and tried to start it again and it still didn't work so I made a backup in GM9 and went looking for a nand backup I made before we modded it with Luma and this is where the issue lies. I have a backup of the sysnand and successfully restored it, but it's all the way back from February 2016 and on firmware 9.2 and I don't know where my latest backup is at. This is back when the closest to coldboot we had was menuhax and emunand with RXtools if I remember correctly. I have cubic ninja if it helps but I'm just wondering if there will be any issues in the future if I upgrade the Sysnand/what else I have to do from here. Am I correct in assuming that all I have to do from here is reinstall my cias for FBI and whatnot and it'll just work? I don't really want to update to the latest firmware because I remember reading there are issues with Freeshop on 11.8 but I have Smash on cartridge so I can update it to I think 10.x if I need to. Thank you!
Edit: It also blinks the blue light without a SD card inserted with boot.firm on the root of the SD card so I need help with making that boot as well.
