Yea some do that is sadI think some people just vote random stuff for "fun". I didn't even vote. Did 7 systems so far with zero issues.
In our case, I can think of people forgetting to put the boot.firm on their SD cards, falsely labeling an unfinished install (due to user error or stuff like 3dsafe) as a brick or users being confused by the many poll options @Lia provides. Anyways, @everyone, be fair. If you think you encountered a legitimate brick and voted that option in that poll, contact me, @SciresM or @Plailect for SafeB9SInstaller issues or @derrek for Sighax Installer issues. Or at least leave a note here about what exactly happened.Besides the one "user error" report from the initial version of my installer, I also haven't received any reports about bricks...
I suspect that there are alot false positive reports in the OP's poll.
i tried to update mine from a9lh to boot9 and now it wont even turn on
Remember: The 3DS turning off right away is a clear sign that it is NOT bricked. A bricked unit would stay in blackscreen or show the feared bluescreen. You did something wrong, @godden18, and I guess everyone who voted for a brick here is similar to your case.i tried to update mine from a9lh to boot9 and now it wont even turn on
Looks good to me, maybe try a different SD card? Also, the 3DS card reader is not the best quality and sometimes wonky, maybe because it was never intended for regular SD inserts / ejects.yeah thats what mine does. already got the boot.frim on the root but still doing the same.
this is what the root of my SD CARD look like

Try something else then. Get GodMode9.firm, rename it to boot.firm, put it in the SD card root instead of the Luma 3DS boot.firm. Does it boot? If yes, you've got further proof you're not bricked.ah ok it was working fine and has been for the last year untill i tried to update to boot9

Good point. @godden18, try putting an old version of Luma (as "arm9loaderhax.bin") on the SD card.I honestly think he didn't actually transition to BS9, try booting up a .bin payload, if it works, he is still on A9LH.

The cause is you not installing boot9strap properly and on top of that ignoring red error messages... Want to take your vote back now ? (hint: you can't)ok ive got it to boot up again since putting the old arm9loaderhax.bin back on the sd card. whats would cause this to of happened?
i have not voted anyway, and no errored appeared on the screen. I followed the guide word for wordThe cause is you not installing boot9strap properly and on top of that ignoring error messages... Want to take your vote back now ? (hint: you can't)
