Then, I was having an consequence with all the Homebrew channels not showing up.

And I thought, maybe it'd be a adept thought to backup my files and format my SD and see if that helps
Unfortunately, the files were not saved and the SD and they're all completely gone.

Everything, the 3DS data, Homebrew channels, all of that
I'one thousand pretty sure I'm unable to recover the formatted menu, I tried

And when I idea I could peradventure attempt to reformat my SD by putting it in my 3DS,
My 3DS won't turn on

The light will flash on for a second, and so turn back off.

I accept no idea what to do and I'thou destroyed over this
If anyone has whatsoever solution, that'd exist great

If you reformatted the SD menu on your computer, y'all might exist able to retrieve the lost files.
Browse the SD carte du jour with a information recovery program. Here'due south a list of several popular options. You figure out how to go nigh getting those.

If you did a System Settings → Other Settings → Format Arrangement Memory, anything that was from your Nintendo 3DS folder is permanently lost.
A data recovery programme will not save 3DS games, DLCs, updates, and saves + extdata. Yous tin can endeavour scanning, only Nintendo did a bang of job wiping out stuff when yous use that.

Exercise not proceed below until y'all've attempted data recovery.
Adding additional files onto the SD bill of fare will corrupt information.

Jumping ahead...

• After determining whether or not y'all can recall your lost setup, you will need to resort to this:
  • 3ds CFW: Restoring functionality on a new SD card [post #2]
• Blue light on and off means in that location's no Luma3DS boot.firm on card root and that your arrangement never did the Luma3DS CTRNAND setup.

That wouldn't really work. See, I thought that everything would be perfect fine if I but copied those files, formatted the SD, and so pasted them. (I was tried)
and, I got an mistake proverb I couldn't paste them all after pasting a few back in.
As far equally I'm aware, a recovery software tin't go annihilation dorsum if new files were saved into the binder. The previous ones get overwritten for certain, correct?

I got it to piece of work with boot.business firm though, thanks!

Empty out the SD card and full Write + Verify scan information technology with H2testw for hardware issues.

Well, no demand to now. I removed CFW and I'll attempt installing homebrew again subsequently. Probably not the best idea ever, only I'yard really scared of messing up one little affair.

Well, no need to now. I removed CFW and I'll attempt installing homebrew over again later. Probably not the all-time thought ever, but I'thousand actually scared of messing upwardly 1 little thing.

You're setting yourself up for more thwarting if your carte is fake or faulty, and your game salve data corrupts or goes missing out of the bluish.

You're setting yourself upwardly for more than thwarting if your menu is imitation or faulty, and your game save information corrupts or goes missing out of the blue.

I'm not sure, honestly. The 3DS I got was preowned twice. Information technology was bought day 1 in 2011, then bought past my friend in 2016 and and then I bought it from her. The card plainly "came with the 3DS on launch", so yous tell me.

2011 is a long time agone. Read & write wearable and tear on that carte could have happened for those ~8 years. Flash retention does not last forever btw. Take the advice in scanning the emptied carte if yous want long term reliability preserving your data.
