Sorry for the long wait. I was close to the end, but I think I made a mistake. And now there is a white light at the place close to the 3D on/off slider is, and my 3DS turns off as soon as I turn it onWonderful. Now that we know that, we can continue with Seedminer.

What step were you at?Sorry for the long wait. I was close to the end, but I think I made a mistake. And now there is a white light at the place close to the 3D on/off slider is, and my 3DS turns off as soon as I turn it on
I was in section IV. I can't remember what happened. It was all so fast. I tried to replace the files I got from the Seedminer website on the SD card. At some point, the 3DS turns on but then goes off. And I believe it's where the led light is. For me, I know that it flashes red when I'm almost out of battery. And yes, the blue light led fades out after powering it on just after 2~3 seconds.What step were you at?
Did you boot into Luma3DS during the cfw installation process?
What "mistake"?
"White light close to the 3d slider" ? You mean on the screen or on the green led? Is the white light filled the whole screen?
Does it display any error when turning on the 3DS? Does the blue light led fades out after powering it on just after 2~3 seconds?
Did you follow PicHaxx or unSAFE_MODE?I was in section IV. I can't remember what happened. It was all so fast. I tried to replace the files I got from the Seedminer website on the SD card.

So is the light blue, or is the light white? (I'm also not sure why you call that "close to the 3D on/off slider".)At some point, the 3DS turns on but then goes off. And I believe it's where the led light is. For me, I know that it flashes red when I'm almost out of battery. And yes, the blue light led fades out after powering it on just after 2~3 seconds.
Does it boot to the home menu and performs normally and all?The 3DS works when I have the SD card.
What problem? Do you see any error message at all? It could be because you still haven't set up Luma3DS on the ctrnand yet.. You're not giving us enough information to troubleshoot things properly..The problem occurs again when I don't have the SD card in the 3DS and I would really like to fix that problem
That's not how it works. You don't want to uninstall cfw now considering all the problems you're having, and it wouldn't not do you any good until you fix the issue..and go back to the way it was before. I changed my mind about making my r4 work on the 3DS. I want my 3DS to go back to the way it was before this whole thing.
Why didn't you say so before?The 3DS works when I have the SD card. The problem occurs again when I don't have the SD card in the 3DS
I just didn't realised it until I tried it out. When I made a mistake in section IV, I felt like maybe what I've done isn't worth it. However, I successfully managed to play r4 games on the 3DS after try to fix the problem, but I now want to stop. I want things to go back to normal. I want to reverse and undo everything.Why didn't you say so before?
If you followed all the steps in the Guide, then you should have done https://3ds.hacks.guide/finalizing-setup#section-vi---ctrnand-luma3ds , which will let your 3DS boot without an SD card.
(But really, why would you want to boot your 3DS without the SD card? It's probably best to avoid handling that as much as possible.)
I'm sorry. I'm lost now. All I know is the 3DS works fine when I have the SD card in, but not when it's out. Instead when I turn the power on, the blue light at the bottom of the 3DS turns on and there is a white light next to the hinge of the 3DS where a red light normally appears when you're almost out of battery. Once those lights appear, the 3DS turns off after 2 seconds. I want things to go back to normal. Like as if I had never done any of this. Hope this makes sense.Does it boot to the home menu and performs normally and all?

That's not how it works. You don't want to uninstall cfw now considering all the problems you're having, and it wouldn't not do you any good until you fix the issue..
Also, you are not answering any of the questions we asked you on the posts above.
Sir, IN MY LAST POST I PROVIDED A LINK TO INSTRUCTIONS THAT WILL FIX THIS PROBLEM.All I know is the 3DS works fine when I have the SD card in, but not when it's out.
Too bad. Trying to remove CFW is likely to cause more problems than it solves. You're kind of stuck with it now.I want things to go back to normal. I want to reverse and undo everything.
Okay. Done. Anything else I need to do to undo everything that's happened before trying to attempt for my R4 to work on my 3DS?Sir, IN MY LAST POST I PROVIDED A LINK TO INSTRUCTIONS THAT WILL FIX THIS PROBLEM.
This is a VERY COMMON THING that happens to lots PEOPLE WHO DON'T FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS PROPERLY.
Too bad. Trying to remove CFW is likely to cause more problems than it solves. You're kind of stuck with it now.
But you can make your 3DS boot without an SD card again if you FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN MY PREVIOUS POST.
If you followed the instructions nothing is undone. what is done is now your 3DS can boot without the SD card in it as you were complaining about.Okay. Done. Anything else I need to do to undo everything that's happened before trying to attempt for my R4 to work on my 3DS?
I just want things to go back to normal. I changed my mind. All of this was a huge mistake.If you followed the instructions nothing is undone. what is done is now your 3DS can boot without the SD card in it as you were complaining about.
I can give you instructions on how to unhack your system if you truly desire. but first can I ask you why you would want to unhack it... now now that you've already gone through the hassle and it works as intended, and even allows you to do what you wanted to do? Also there are so many more functions your system can do now like custom themes, emulation, cheats, Homebrew, full-blown 3DS piracy. I mean you wanted it to be able to play DS ROMs and now it can, shoot now that it's hacked you don't even need the r4 for it to be able to play DS ROMs...
But my only question before I help you is why did you change your mind and I don't mean to be rude but please no overly simplistic answer like it was a mistake it obviously wasn't a mistake with how long it took for you to hack it in the first place no it was intentional and so is your decision to change your mind I'm just asking whyI just want things to go back to normal. I changed my mind.

I just feel like maybe this wasn't a good idea after all. I'm sorry.But my only question before I help you is why did you change your mind and I don't mean to be rude but please no overly simplistic answer like it was a mistake it obviously wasn't a mistake with how long it took for you to hack it in the first place no it was intentional and so is your decision to change your mind I'm just asking why
It bothers me because these people on this website took their free time to come on here and try to help you get to your system hacked at your request and now that it is you just want it to not be so desperately come on dude what changed
Yes. I've already done that, but is there anything else I need to do to set it back before I went through all of this on this post?You should to have on mind, if you don't have a NAND backup BEFORE start anything is a lot likely you end on a unrecoverable brick, and lost your console. and looking at your commentaries you aren't the best following steps, so I can bet you don't have the proper backup.
"un-hack" or cleanning the mods is a very intensive task and need lots of steps; if one of them isn't followed correctly you get a brick.
By looking on to your posts, DO NOT TRY TO UN-HACK OR UN-MOD your console.
The "problem" your are facing now, is simple as you don't have the CFW files on your NAND, so if you start your system without a SD card with the CFW files, your console is unable to boot. The solution is so simple as follow the last steps of the guide; you has been directed to they on the lasts posts, these steps are for copying the needed files on your NAND. PLEASE READ THEM AN EXECUTE CAREFULLY: https://3ds.hacks.guide/finalizing-setup#section-vi---ctrnand-luma3ds
@Kwyjor told you early:
So you're saying even if I try to undo everything I've been through, it would be risky and could cause problems? There is no way to undo it without causing any problems?I and everyone else seem to be at the same consensus that you had so much difficulty getting your system hacked that it would be dangerous for you to go through the steps to unhack it as messing up on these instructions can and likely will result in a brick. so you should just leave it be and enjoy it as is
And yes I am still going to tell you where to get your instructions although as I advise against you unhacking your console I will not return to assist you with it... Anywho here is your link if you so choose good luck https://3ds.hacks.guide/uninstall-cfw
Even the guide tells you uninstalling is not how you fix issues with the installation
Edit:. It's just such a waste you already got past every difficulty and hurdle and installing custom firmware you are already at the end goal and now you think it could be a bad idea and want to turn around and it's so frustrating because you can't explain to me why you feel it could be a bad idea or why it's a mistake it's like you're telling me you just have a feeling when the only reality I can see is that you had a difficulty a single difficulty and you're ready to give up and scrap your progress which is just silly cuz you're already done
