Fisrst off, thanks to the admin who manualy confirmed my account and sorry if my english is bad.

Ok, so I'm completely aware of the stupidity of my own acts, it's ok, no need to patronize me.

I picked up my old 3ds that was laying around, I don't remembrer what vertion of the CFW it was but it was a ReiNand.
When you powered it up, you had noise on the upper screen and various color on the other screen, then a purple loader (I can't remember the name, but you could launch .3dsx from that), then it have the standard hacked 3ds menu with my games.

So, first mistake. A friend told me it was safe to update the console even if it has a custom frimware. I know this wasnt the case but I did it anyway. After that, the purple menu still worked fine, but after that the 3ds menu would not boot.

After a little bit of reserch, I figured out I could maybe fix things up if I installed Luma3DS. So, second mistake, like a blind man walking into a minefield, I tried to install it with the little knowledge that I had on the subject.

- I downloaded Luma3ds 9.0, I copied boot.firm and the exception_dump_parser folder into the root of my SD card
- I downloaded boot9strap 1.3 and copied both boot9strap.firm and boot9strap.firm.sha into a folder "boot9strap" that I created at the root of the SD card
- I downloaded the last vertion of SafeB9SInstaller and copied everything into the root of the SD card
- I added some line to boot.cfg to be able to launch /SafeB9SInstaller/SafeB9SInstaller.3dsx via the purple launcher

after that, I launched SafeB9SInstaller, and.. I dont exactly remember what happened.
An installation-like software poped up to install luma3ds (SafeB9SInstaller I presume... ), I basicaly leaved everything to default and pressed go, stuff happened, the consoled rebooted, and.. an error occured.
Every time it boots, it goes:

imgur[dot]com[slash]a[slash]cnTbDLg (as a new user I'm not permited to post link so.. here you are)

An exeption occured
Processor : ARM11 (core0)
Exeption type: data abort
Fault status: Translation - Section
Current process: menu (0004003000009802)

and then a bunch of hex keys and values. It also tells me that I can either press a to save the crash dump or any other button to shutdown.

If I press select during boot, I got a luma3DS configuration panel. Here's a screen:

So... am I boned ? I guess I'm not but I wouldn't be surprised if I was.
But if I'm not, could you eli5 how do I fix stuff up?

Thanks a lot !

Copy your current 3DS setup and put it aside on desktop. See if a test setup works for you.

It worked just fine ! Thanks for your help and time.

If you never made backup of your saves when you were using ReiNAND

As for restoring your games and save progress, i'm too lazy to type out instructions. Read this thread for similar example in what to do :
Also, reiNAND lives on as Rei-Six. In case you want to check it out and compare it to Luma3DS.
