Can you use Doodlebomb as a Primary entry point? I'm still on 11.2 but im wanting to upgrade to 11.4 so i can access my Pokebank. However i can't get into the eshop to update anything or even download my digital copy of OoT3d. Any advice before i update?
You can use soundhax, then install CFW

You need have installed arm9 to upgrade to boot9strap
but what i want to do is just installed the homebrew channel not cfw on my unmodded new 2ds xl i was told i could do it if i had a modded ds on 11.2 and i do have one so i tried those methods and none work now they have all been patched

so what are my options on getting homebrew on 11.4?

If you're on N3DS then look on https://3ds.guide/homebrew-launcher-(alternatives)
If you're on old 3DS then that's impossible, there's no payloads for old 3DS on stock firmware.
Either way, you can't install anything without CFW, only launch the homebrew launcher through an exploit.

11.3 was the last firmware where you could use a free entrypoint. which was soundhax to launch homebrew. There was a few ways on 11.5 for homebrew but said hax were also quickly patched. If you want homebrew access only there are a few games you could look at getting. or CFW itself requires a flashcart for your firmware.

If you have CFW doing a system format won't remove it. What happens if you hold Select on boot?Hold it from before pressing power.

You mean 7.1?
You should update B9S: https://3ds.guide/updating-b9s
yes 7.1 i thought we need a R4 for it? i didnt really do this soo bit scared to touch anything. the sd card contains ironhax and sound hax i believe also homebrew but its not showing should i delete those. i should probably post a screenshot to give more ideas on the contents of the sd card

You only need a DS flashcart to install B9S from stock on 11.4 and higher. Once you have it you only need the flashcart if you want to play DS games.

You already have B9S so updating it is easy following those instructions.
Once updated, you need to set the Rosalina HB title to Download Play (not sure how to do this part but the instructions are in the main part of 3ds.guide somewhere) and put HBL 2.x (https://github.com/fincs/new-hbmenu/releases) on your SD along with FBI and FreeShop (.3dsx versions) on your SD. Then you can use the Download Play-launched HBL to install anything you want.
