Homebrew Updated old 3ds with old CFW

[ReWraith]

I installed CFW on my old 3ds, back in 2016, and I have not kept up with it at all. I just foolishly system updated it. When the 3ds went to restart itself, both of the screens went black and stayed that way. Now, if I try to (normally) power up the 3ds, both of the screens remain blank. Any advice on fixing this would be greatly appreciated. Here's what my SD card currently looks like:

Please set Windows explorer to show file extensions. Without it's confusing. There is arm9loaderhax.bin, maybe you have A9LH installed.

• Can you access Luma settings by holding (Select) on power on?
• What about booting without SD?

I can access AuReiNand doing that, yes.
Booting without a SD card also only gives blank screens.

The fact that I see the folder "aurei" tells me more than enough to know just how old your setup really is.
You are going to need to update literally everything but your first start is going to have to be updating to B9S and Luma3DS
https://3ds.hacks.guide/a9lh-to-b9s
From there you can delete pretty much everything except the Nintendo 3DS folder, Themes folder, DCIM Folder, and 3ds folder.
You are also going to need basically all of the homebrew provided in this part of the guide.

It took me way too long to figure out I had to rename my aurei folder to luma, but otherwise I got my 3ds working again from here. Thank you.
