It says that im on Luma3DS 7.1

Download Luma v7.1 again and move the boot.firm to your SD card root then try to access the chainloader again.

Before, it wasn't working because, for whatever reason, it couldn't load the 7.1 boot.firm off the SD card, so it loaded it off your CTRNAND instead. When that happens, it can't load payloads off the SD card.

Yeah after you guys told me to download the old payload - I realized that guide doesn’t mention it because it thinks that u still have the old one on your SD Card (in my case i deleted it)

Considering that SD cards are flash media it's highly improbable that he'd be able to recover anything, especially since it's corrupted.

i dont know if it is (probably), bu

You said you have Luma v8.1? You can just follow this part of 3ds.guide. Before you boot up your 3DS, just put any other CIAs you want installed in the cias folder (like freeShop).

t what happened is i was copying cias like the guy earlier in the thread and my adaptor disconnected

Unless you have a NAND backup from before you formatted your 3DS that you can restore, you can only restore your games by reinstalling them.

As for the SD corruption, that data is likely lost.

on the sd would there be anything left of the game? eg. filename, titlekey

I'm pretty sure the 3DS encrypts that stuff (which would be in SD:/Nintendo 3DS/). Even if you could get it back, I doubt you can use it. It's probably still there, just unusable.

The only thing you can find on your SD card, assuming it wasn't corrupted, is encrypted contents that won't work with your 3DS after formatting it. If you restore a NAND backup from before the format, it might be able to read the contents on the SD card. However, you said the SD card was corrupted, so I don't know how likely that is.

It might be better for you to just wipe everything and install the latest Luma. With a corrupt SD card, and a formatted NAND, it will be much easier than trying to recover all of your lost data...

Just format your NAND, and then format your SD card. Just make sure to grab any .3dsx homebrew or themes off there if you want to keep them...
For 3DS:
1. Turn on 3DS
2. Go to Settings
3. Go to Other Settings
4. Go to Format (or whatever it says, I don't have my 3DS on me ATM)

For SD:
1. Plug in your SD into your computer
2. Right Click (or CTRL + click on Mac)
3. Click Format
4. Choose either 32kb or 64kb cluster
5. Choose FAT32
6. Uncheck Quick Format (more stable, not necessary though)
7. Click Format
8. Download latest Luma .firm file and drag it to SD root
9. Boot your 3DS and configure your Luma 3DS settings

That's how you format your 3DS!
