Hacking N3DS won't boot after boot9strap installation

If I write my first nand backup (the one with b9s broken), I have no bootrom error and just the first error (blue led blink once and shut down)

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

bootrom error happen with patched nand
 
I still have my original firm0_enc.bak and firm1_enc.bak. Is this possible to add them to my NAND to cancel b9s install ?

I've read this on 3ds guide:

Note that firm0firm1.bak and sector0x96.bak in the /boot9strap/ folder on your SD card are only needed in the event of a failed boot9strap install. Once you have installed successfully, you can delete the entire boot9strap folder.




EDIT: It worked!!!

So step by step:
1) do a NAND save with hardmod (nand with a fail b9s install => blue led blinking once)
2) rename NAND.bin to NAND-patched.bin
3) get the last hardmod-b9s-installer : https://github.com/ihaveamac/hardmod-b9s-installer
4) copy firm0_enc.bak, firm1_enc.bak (from your sd_card/boot9strap) and NAND-patched.bin, to hardmod-b9s-installer location
5) execute restore-firm0firm1.py
6) write the new NAND-unpatched.bin to 3ds

I'm so happy right now, thank you for your help ! :D

So it was a brick then?, and all you did was try to install b9s, geezus thats scared me a bit, i was just considering modding my new 3ds
 
The led blinking also happened to me. After quite some struggling, it was just a file missing or not correctly placed on the sd card.
 
It was a brick but apparently my 3DS is faulty, because I did the 3ds guide again and still stuck with the blue led blinking.
 
damn, sorry to hear that, Its not b9s 1.2 is it?, has anyone here installed 1.2 from scratch, just wondering because i plan on doing this to my new 3ds i just bought from the store. (my official firmware is 11.2)

I think my n3ds really has a problem, I tried to install A9LH and when i want to access luma menu,it does the same thing with b9s...

Plus, when I quit system parameter, my 3ds shut down instead of going to home with a little noise ...
