Homebrew Soft bricked o3DS XL

[david11]

Hello. Sorry to disturb.
Basically what happened was this. I don't know anything about 3ds hacking, but I was interested in rng abuse for some 3ds games and read about how in some games you need to install CFW and boot NTR to obtain some informatin for the rng to work.
So i followed some yt tutorial to install the CFW and it worked. Then i installed the NTR following this video, but it wouldn't boot, so I decided to give up.
It could be it, but I decided to delete all the homebrew softwares from my SD (fair enough) and then proceeded to delete every file in my SD except for the Nintendo 3ds files existing since I bought the console.
Of course (but I didn't know that) I bricked my 3Ds. The console wouldn't boot in any way, so I downloaded back the boot.firm file and put it into my SD.
When I put the SD into the 3Ds it works normally, but if I take it out the console is bricked.
I read about Godmode9 and how to put the boot.firm file into the NAND, but the procedure doesn't work as my 3Ds won't load Godmode9.
I don't really know what to do to turn my 3ds back as it was before. Thank you to anyone that could help me. If there are more informations I can provide, I will.
Sorry about my English.

Never use youtube tutorials, they almost always have outdated information. Use this guide: https://3ds.hacks.guide/
It's possible that the tutorial also gave you outdated versions of the CFW, put the newest Luma files on the SD card: https://github.com/LumaTeam/Luma3DS/releases
Download Godmode9: https://3ds.hacks.guide/godmode9-usage

To make the system boot without the SD card, hold START while powering on the system, and open godmode9 from the list. This should work just fine if you now have the right files and not the things from the youtube tutorial. In godmode9, press the home button, select "Scripts..." -> "GM9Megascript" -> "Scripts from Plailect's Guide" -> "Setup Luma3DS to CTRNAND" -> continue, and enter the button combination. Now press B, select "Exit", and power off the system. The 3DS should boot without the SD card after doing this.

@IC_
thanks, but my 3ds won't load godmode. It's stuck at the booting page and doesn't load afterwards...
i really don't know what else to do

@CPG I was following an italian youtuber named LeiX__21

Even with the latest version? That's weird. I don't really know what to do in this case, but you could try an older non-beta version: https://github.com/d0k3/GodMode9/releases/tag/v1.9.1

Are you holding the correct button combinations to boot Godmode9? If you follow 3ds.guide and you have the files in the correct places you should be able to launch Godmode9 without any issues

well, this happened.
I was following the Finalizing setup guide from 3ds hacks. So i reinstalled in my 3ds all the cfw following the guide and got blocked at booting gm9. I just stopped at that point, assuming something I couldn't know about was off and resigned about using my 3ds only with the sd on.
So today I try to boot it with the SD on and it shows me, by only pressing power, the Luma version screen (which never happened). As I always did, i put an X on the first four options and press start. The console boots normally.
I powered it off and extracted the sd to prove my 3ds was still bricked and to my surprise it booted normally; not only, but it also showed no sign of any cfw software.
I am glad the problem seems to have resolved by itself, but I don't have any idea about what happened. Any ideas? And advice for what I should/shouldn't do in the future? (ex. updating the console via Nintendo, keeping/deleting files in my sd)
