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 :)
- How do I fix this on PKSM

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.

Im searching for a EUR New 3ds Nand donor
I accidentaly bricked my 3ds and i didn't do a Nand Backup. I did try to reinstall the ctrnand using ctrtransfer but it did not work... so i searched and i found that the only way for me to recover my 3ds is by using the lazarus script. But in order for it to work i need somebody to donate their ctrnand.bin file.

Need Help, new 3ds xl blue light/ power light but there Is nothing displayed ok the screen. i tried to remove the battere and the sd but no luck
If you have an original R4 like this and a nintendo ds, you can flash the R4 with ntrboot and try to reflash the console with Lazarus3Ds.

I deleted some files from SYSNAND CTRNAND using godmode9 (I would say that it was am accident but I was just being an idiot) now when I turn on the console it gives a black screen the blue diode is on, and it doesn't turn off(unless I take out the battery) I can only access gm9 and luma screens
Depending on what you deleted, you might be able to recover it, but I don't know anything about it so take this as speculation. This seems like it might be relevant. You might want to ask on GBAtemp as well.

What is the problem?
Systems in this condition can usually be brought back to life using an ntrboot card and lazarus: https://github.com/AnalogMan151/Lazarus3DS If there's hardware issues causing this, then maybe not.
