Hacking What are the steps to unbrick a 3ds with ntrboot?

[3dsFan1]

Hello, so, I have some questions
So, my 2DS was soft bricked recently (blue light, black screen), and, since I'm such an idiot, I removed the hack, so I'm planning to unbrick it with the ntrboot method (I know I need a compatible r4 a DS/3DS), but:
1. Ok, I get to godmode9, what's next?
2. Do I need to use the black Lazarus method?

A classic case of throwing away all repair tools because something is broken.

The Lazarus script is very invasive and surely not the first thing to try.

Please reinstall B9S with ntrboot.

It would be really helpful to know how you software bricked the 2DS.

I don't really know, I was using it, and powered it off 5 mins after because I was bored, and, when I tried to boot it, it just didn't work, so I thought I needed to uninstall the hack, but no, it wasn't the case

Also, I tried to update luma (i just downloaded the lastest version), and well, the same thing happened

And I already tried the safe mode, but it just says "the update cannot continue" and powers off

Uninstalling B9S almost never solves problems and there are enough warnings in this regard.

Remove any SD and game cart.
Not correctly connected WiFi board can cause this issue (assuming old version of O2DS) -- but it is not very likely since you could uninstall B9S. Without WiFi board nothing boots.

No possibility of further trying things until you have ntrboot ready.

Ok, thanks
Also, when I get to install B9S, what do I do?
