Hacking Think I bricked my 3DS

[FatalX]

I decided to install BS9 on my old 3DS XL, and was following this guide https://3ds.guide/installing-boot9strap-(mset)

After adding the files to my SD card, my 3ds wont boot. ive tried booting it with a different sd card, without any sd card, and each time its stuck on a black screen. ive tried redownloading the necessarily files, reformatting the sd card, and still nothing.

Can you boot to recovery mode (A+R+L+Up)?
Can you boot to luma config (power+select), while having boot.firm on your SD?

This is going to sound stupid, but are you sure EVERYTHING is setup correctly?

When I was upgrading b9s I had an error caused by a small typo in the folder name.

neither :/

neither :/

Because I am dumm, the only thing I can think of is, buy b9s flashcard and repair it that way. Sorry, but I really don't know what can be the problem. Booting into black screen means some sort of brick.

When you turn it on, is it completely black or does the blue lights turn on briefly and then turn off?

completely black.

Can you try another SD card? Maybe your boot.firm is corrupted?

I think your first step is to find out what happened and how so you can either fix it or prevent it from happening again. Are your indicator lights coming on when you power your 3DS on?
