Hacking Is my 3DS Soft-bricked ?

[AzureMilo]

Hello there !

It's been a while since I haven't touched my o3DS and i used my SD Card which i used to hack my console like 1 year ago. Since then, my 3DS isn't booting anymore (power LED is going blue and then disappears), i would like to know if there's a way to fix it using another SD Card ?
The cause is that there's apparently no SysNAND in there, and i don't think i've got my NAND backup, i've tried Recovery Mode but it doesn't work.

Thanks in advance !

Have you updated luma before this happened?

Is there a chance that you had A9LH installed? If so, you will need a boot.bin file on the root of the SD to just boot it up. (I think it's that...it's been awhile since I've messed with A9LH)

Other than that, there are ways to fix the NAND with CTRtransfer or something. ( myself have never delt with it before though.

I used A9LH to crack my 3DS, i'll try to do that.

Ikr but this case is pretty special, and it made me remind of a soft brick ;;.

A9LH?
Luma doesn't support a9lh anymore, i think you used the b9s instead, got back and use the old luma files, then upgrade to b9s then update luma again.

if the sd card is not in there then it wont power on but if you do have it in there then just pull it out and put it back in it worked for me
