Can you tell us the EXACT steps you did? So far all we got was that you "did everything right" and it just bricked.
A malfunctioning cart does not cause a brick... If that was the case I would be in danger with any malfuctioning legit game cart as well.I'm going to guess and say you didn't do it right.
That or the cards malfunctioned which caused the brick which means this claim can't be used to prove the Gateway brick code actually bricks Gateway users.
A simple user mistake shouldn't lead to a brick
Okay. Here is my cool story.
I have uploaded Blue card files on MicroSD. Inserted this card into the Blue Card. Installed the exploit.
After, I uploaded Launcher on another microsd card. Inserted it in SD adapter, and after all, put it in SD card slot.
After all, I have pressed L, and pressed DS profile. Gateway menu opened. I started diagnostics(with Red card in slot).
Before, I always had SD card test fail, but now, I had OK. I was so happy. I booted into the GW mode, console rebooted and showed me bluescreen.
You're right. I guess I am so used to see people hacking consoles that it seems like a normal procedure to me. xDwut? A simple user mistake would be taking a memory card out a PS2 while it is saving data. Installing hacks on a system is not a "simple user mistake." You are putting in very specific code that is not designed or endorsed by Nintendo and should have no room for mistakes.

Can you please be more detail on your post?~ I know that you not emotionally stable right now.
And I thought that you boot in to GW mode then go to setting and then hold L to boot in gate way classic mode. Then BSOD occured.

The fact remains that he is a legit Gateway user and his console got bricked. A simple user mistake shouldn't lead to a brick, their product is instable and highly unreliable.
I honestly thought this was painfully obvious. Obviously to you guys it isn't.
Malfunctioning GATEWAY cart. Load up the Gateway menu, cart isn't working properly(clone?), brick device.
You can't possibly compare a working and malfunctioning Gateway brick, just no. Don't even think like that.
There was -32*C on street
I don't need any more data.
The reason your 3DS bricked is because ALL ELECTRONIC DEVICES can work bad if used with less than 5ºC or more than 35ºC.
LOL I am so sorry again, but I can just imagine some poor Russian teenager walking in 3 feet of snow across a city to get a flashcart so he can play all the 3DS games he wants, it's probably the only thing he owns, and his game system broke. Such a sad taleFound 206 roubles on street to get to EMS office to take my parcel. There was -32*C on street, I was going to the other end of my city for this piece of crap called GATEWAY. After 3 hours, I came home.
i think you were mistaken here. If you really wanted to play acnl you just bought that game, cause no update fixe this yet>>STEP1 I have uploaded Blue card files on MicroSD. Inserted this card into the Blue Card. Installed the exploit, rebooted console.
>>STEP2 After, I uploaded Launcher on another microsd card. Inserted it in SD adapter, and after all, put it in SD card slot.
>>STEP3 After all, while I was pressing L, I pressed DS profile. Gateway menu opened. I started diagnostics(with Red card in slot and game rom in it).
>>STEP4 Before, I always had SD card test fail, but now, I had OK. I was so happy. I booted into the GW mode, console rebooted and showed me bluescreen.

GW is good device, may be, but now it's unstable. I understand them, they want to defense their product of hard working by brick code. But they were mistaken.
I only wanted to play fcking Animal Crossing, waited for updates. And what now? Yesterday, I have lost my money from my pocket. Found 20 roubles on street to get to EMS office to take my parcel. There was -32*C on street, I was going to the other end of my city for this piece of crap called GATEWAY. After 3 hours, I came home. Installed everything, Red card didn't work. Waited for today, nothing changed. Installed 2.0b2. I only wanted to see game icon in menu, but it was late, I got BSOD.
It could be also malfunctioning SD card... It seems the gatewat flashcart worked fine, since it could execute the brick code on your 3DS.My personal conclusion - Defective GW card causes bricking. I did everything right, but Red card didn't see any ROMs. Installed 1.2, 2.0b1 and finally 2.0b2 - epic win
