Looking for advice on how to extract the save file from the digital download on my son’s Tomogatchi Life game.
And is it already updated to 11.17? As detailed in https://3ds.hacks.guide , means for installing CFW on an "old" unit updated to 11.17 are limited at present time.
Installing CFW as per https://3ds.hacks.guide and then using Checkpoint is the most straightforward way, as others have suggested.

Urgent help!!!!the thing is I modded my 2ds and while placing the sd card I placed it in opposite direction and the console won’t read the card anymore and without the boot file on the sd the console is bricked what can I do???
Solution? Get any compatible, temporary SD card and put the latest Luma3DS files on it -- it's just two files! boot.3dsx and boot.firm

So every time I do this exploit in the video below, it keeps giving me this screen. I followed the video instructions so I’m not sure what to do.
Download the latest version of luma3ds from here, extract the zip and copy boot.firm to your microsd card and see what happens. You should have version 12.1.

I'm confused about updating my luma/home brew for 3DS. I'm on version 11.0. Do I need to delete all of my previous mod files and mod my whole 3DS again to get version 12.0.1?
I can't speak to why Universal-Updater doesn't show the latest version of Luma3DS available for download and installation, but you can update Luma3DS to the latest version yourself manually quite easily as explained in my first reply. Have no worries, you didn't mess anything up.

Can I update?
If you're on Custom Firmware, you just need to download the latest version of Luma3DS (the Luma3DSv12.0.1.zip file) and extract the boot.firm and boot.3dsx to the root of your SD card. That's it.

Bricked?
Basically your 3ds is hacked and that is why youre getting this screen. Most common thing is a missing the sd card. Check if there is an sd card in there or get one and then put this file on the root of the card. Report back to see if that fixes the problem.
