I used Soundhax at Step 5 I could open that site: 2xra
So i thought i start at the beginning ant clicked on format. But now It says. An Error occured please restart everytime i boot it.

First question everyones gonna ask is, why on earth are you even on 2.1.0 right now on a N3DS??? You would want to use 3ds.hacks.guide to use soundhax with getting cfw. As of now for 11.0 it does not require to downgrade to that at all.

What guide are you using cause its outdated. What format was it trying to get you to do?

1. You used an old, outdated, more complicated guide which has more pitfalls.
2. Instead of stopping and re-reading the steps to figure what to do next or asking for help in the community, you improvised by deciding to start over despite the fact that the state the console was now in was different.

N3DS on 2.1 is supposed to be only for a short while and only doing precise things, it is highly brick-prone, including an unrecoverable brick if put in sleep mode, and certainly not formattable.

I am new to this scene.. I did not know that it is outdated.
I used this How To : (I cannot put link here because i am new) Just type "ultimative Anleitung 3ds" in Google and then first Result.

Someone said to me that I should buy a flashcard and use ntrboot to unbrick my N3DS. Would this work?

What firmware was your system on when you made that nand backup? You will likely want to try to restore that before going to the ntrboot just yet.

 

[dumbledore42]

Hello the firmware was 11.00.33.E

I did a NandBackup from it. That is on my PC.

You probably put your system to sleep mode following the old guide and now you've bricked the system. Pretty sure you'll need a hardmod to recover the system now.

He would have a completely black set of screens without it saying there was a error to reboot if he done that. He should try a nand restore if hes able to boot godmode9 before that error appears

 

[dumbledore42]

After downgrading to 2.1 i clicked on format. Thats the reason for the error.
When booting the upper screen is black the screen on the bottom says please restart the 3ds everytime I start.

How can I restore my nand? As far as I know i need access to browser for godmode9 .
But I have acces to nothing.

He was up to the dumping OTP part from the old guide so has no hacks installed that can be loaded before boot.

OP, Have you tried recovery mode?

Try recovery mode, hold A + R + L + Up(DPad) then press power button to start system.

 

[dumbledore42]

If I do this:
Hold L+R+A+D-pad UP - keep holding them pressed and push the power button

Nothing happens.

Well mate you're out of luck, your best bet now would be a hard mod with your NAND backup.

At this point would ntrboot be feasable to try a ctrtransfer before having to look at the hardmod option?

EDIT: Yep this is actually a great idea


I misread your post as NTR cfw not NTRboot and was confused as fuck lol

 

[dumbledore42]

So I should try it with flashcard and ntrboot?

Yep you can use an NTRboot flashcart to install B9S, follow instructions here:
https://3ds.hacks.guide/ntrboot

You'll need a compatible flashcart and another DS which supports the flashcart, or you can buy a flashcart with NTRboot preinstalled.

After you install B9S, follow this:
https://3ds.hacks.guide/ctrtransfer.html

Or I think you can also use your NAND backup?

Without flash card or what?
I thought I need Flashcard to restore my NAND.

1) You'll need a flashcart to use NTRboot to install B9S
2) Once you have B9S, you can use godmode9 to either do a CTRTransfer or restore your NAND backup to fix your system.
