Hacking Problem updating R4iGold from r4ids.cn, Revision C

[jmckutchin]

Just an update: I've been messing around with my R4i Gold 3DS and it seems that the problem is definitely an issue with the card and not with the metroid icon firmware. I found this out by downgrading to a firmware prior to metroid icon and tried upgrading to the latest from that firmware with no luck. I'm now currently sitting on metroid icon firmware again.

I have a feeling that we're probably not going to see a firmware fix for this bad batch of Rev C's. If you can, I would try to ask for a replacement. Nds-card has already shipped me mine, thankfully

Oh believe me the page IS working but that doesnt change anything, they havent updated anything yet, so its like the site was still suspended...

Ok, not only did I fix my problem of nothing loading at all, but I also got my Metroid card to update. If any of you want to give it a go, here are the exact contents of my MicroSD card that did the trick. https://anonfiles.com/file/d784b76e9a7db3cc07b45f3ff469c00c Hope it works.

Scanned it with antivirus.
It just has Wood, moonshell and the update file.

Btw which file have u loaded?
And on what handheld have u run the card?
DSP/DSL/DSi/3DS?

Yeah, it's weird. Just having barebones wood on there wouldn't even let my card work. After installing everything else, everything worked. I was running the NDSi.nds file on a DSLite.

And after u loaded it the card didn't failed at checkup and you updated your metroid card to konami icon?

 

[jmckutchin]

Ok. I'll bite....

*waiting for data to transfer*

annnnnnd that's a big NOPE.

 

[sentinel5000]

I dont have a Ds lite to try that method. Strange thing is the update supposedly works on some revs C and some it just fails. I guess its time for a DSTWO...

 

[dronesplitter]

Exman, your r4i gold card has r4ids.cn on the front and "C" on the back?

Ok. I'll bite....

Yeah, I tried it too. Doesn't work on the "problem" cards.

that sucks

 

[untok]

Tried this on my c card ndsl and says fail unfortunately

 

[ipawii]

Confirmed, not working here either. And I tried it on a DSL using the NDSi.nds patch as described by Exman.
The waiting game continues...

Hell, I'd just be happy if I could see the site up again, because apparently I'm the only one that's it's still showing as suspended, despite flushing my dns and force refreshing a bajillion times.

I think this is the best proof I can give you on that

You're right. I just took my phone off wifi and there it is. Hmm. Already tried flushing the dns of the router...
