Classic case of "I'm gonna hack my 3DS without knowing what I'm doing and definitely not reading the guide because fuck that"
I'm sorry if that seemed rude, but what were you thinking? Why would you have formatted your device on 2.1? Nowhere in any guide it would tell you to do such a thing. You reap what you sow I guess .. plus not taking a backup. Let this be a lesson learned for you. Fortunately it's only a <$70 lesson as 2DS is cheap.
Wouldn't you need a hardmod to restore the nand backup? I do have a spare 2DS but not anything to hardmod it with soooooo I don't see anyone willing to try this unless they can hardmod it to restore backup.

Can someone with a9lh on a 2DS please do this :
1) downgrade say to 9.2 and update using recovery mode to make sure it works
2) downgrade to 4.x and format, then try recovery mode and see if it works
3) whatever happens restore a backup
4) report here the results
I just want to know for once and all whether a soft bricked 2DS can recover by updating (now that we can install CFW on the latest firmware, having to update is no longer a big deal).
