Yep and Section III dot 2 it's linking to zoogie b9s.

Stuck at Section IV dot 5.

It does look like you have the correct file, did you get to the part of
  1. Wait for it to say "Done!". Exit b9sTool and power off your 3DS
Did that showed up on your screen?

I used the DsiWare method and it does say done when I install boot9strap. Then I follow the instructions, press and hold the select button and power it on. Still 3DS home menu appears.

Im not experience enough with Dsiware method as I never done that way, it seem there is a problem with the files shared on 3ds.hacks.guide

Are you making sure to hold Select before pressing power, and continuing to hold it? Does the button work in games? Do you have any file called config in the luma folder? If so, delete it (that will force the config menu to appear on booting, whether or not you hold Select).

Yeah I press select before pressing power and I hold the button.
Let me check on the luma folder

Im at 11.8 so which one should I use? Also im a complete noob with almost 0 resources, so which method would suit me?

Well if you can't get the Seedminer method to work, then you can buy a NTRboot compatiable flashcart, there are some that come pre-flashed. Hardmod would cost the most out of the three options if someone were to hardmod it for you.

Can't I hard mod by myself? And if I do, how do I remove the soduko and boot9strap from my 3DS?

I wouldn't recommend doing hard mod, unless you know how to solder in the first place, one mistake you got a cripple 3ds. As for Uninstall B9s it is mentioned in the photo I shared, it says go into B9stool that zoogie provided.

Have you already done the seedminer option or have you simply started that?

He is not able to get seedminer to work correctly, him and Scalg used the same method.
