Any clue what does this mean?
This looks like an error with Luma3DS. You’ll need to manually update Luma again. Make sure you’re following this tutorial: Luma3DS GitHub. I’ve had this error before and it was fairly easy to fix :)

Can someone help?
Replace Luma files on your sd card, boot.firm and boot.3dsx. You can download them here.

Luma v13.0 on old 3DS XL, is it safe?
I have an old 3DS XL thats has been modified, and i was about to start the process of updating the console to firmware 11.17.0, by updating Luma first so it does not brick. But the first thing i've seen when getting to the Luma github page is a reported issue saying that last release of Luma (Luma 13.0) makes their 3DSXL console not even starting the HOME menu. Is it save to upgrade to Luma 13 having an old XL? I only have GodMode9 and i was about to upgrade it to last version (v2.1.1) as well. Thanks!

What does this mean?
First step, download the latest version of Luma 3DS ( just click on the .zip file, should be the top one when you scroll down ) , then extract it to the root of your SD card as explained by the guide

Upgrading to larger micro SD Card
You could make sure you have sysnand by enabling "show NAND or user string in system settings" in luma settings. (Hold select on startup). More info here https://github.com/LumaTeam/Luma3DS/wiki/Optional-features
- Boot splashes causes top screen to flicker for ~15 minutes

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.

How do I get the FBI thing needed?
Just download fbi from this links: https://github.com/Steveice10/FBI/releases/download/2.6.1/FBI.3dsx
- 3DS SD Card corrupted, need to start from scratch with a new SD card.

HELP!!!
Basically, you'll want to download the .Cia and .3dsx files for FBI from the FBI GitHub. Open a default installed app that you never use (the AR one for me). Then press L+Dpad down+select to open the Rosalina menu. In the Rosalina menu select "Miscellaneous options" then "Switch the hb. title to the current app". Next close the Rosalina menu, close and reopen the app. It will open as the homebrew launcher. At this point you can open the FBI.3dsx from the homebrew launcher and use it to install the FBI.cia. You'll be up and running and be able to install whatever you need at this point. I recommend the Universal-Updater to open up your options.

Does anyone know what I should do about this error message, I can’t access any homebrew apps or FBI

Qr code install not working
no, the browser doesn't support downloading files. scan this qr in fbi to install latest (2.6.1), this is plain http, which should be fine for old fbi, and the same cia as official one, you can decode the qr to get the cia to verify it if you concern about it

Should I delete all the homebrewing of the sd card?
Have you tried reinstalling FBI? If it works you could reinstall all titles.

I recently took a Nintendo 3ds and yesterday it started showing me this error and I don't know how to fix it, I look on the internet how to fix it but I didn't find anything related to this error which it shows me every time I turn on the console. Pls help 😣
If the same error is displayed, I'd suggest reinstalling FBI (taking for granted everything else works fine), you'll need the Homebrew Launcher (that I hope you already have on your console), the latest fbi.3dsx file in your SD card root and the latest fbi.cia file preferably in the cia folder of the SD card. https://github.com/Steveice10/FBI/releases/tag/2.6.1
