I think i corrupted my flashcard, injection looked like it froze at 99% so i just powered off the 3DS and the flashcard didn't show up in the menu since then. So what can i do? Is there any way to unbrick the flashcard?

When flashing any firmware to anything, expect issues if the device is powered off during the process.

When flashing ntrboot, ntrboot flasher would've made you dump the flash of the r4 card first, you can use ntrboot flasher to restore this backup

You can't skip it. You can't inject ntrboot without dumping flash first. It will not inject without a backup present

Edit:

You could also just flash ntrboot again, just don't turn it off untill its finished. As stated above a card flashed with ntrboot won't show on the home menu, unless it's an acekard 2i or similar

I think i accidentally deleted the backup while re-formatting my sd card trying to undo the flashing.

Ok, do you want it as an r4 card or an ntrboot card?

If you still want an ntrboot card just run the flasher again. What r4 card is it?

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
