Yes, that's exactly what happened to me, with the same R4.
I tried 4 different backups but none has worked.
You have to get the right backup. I think there's enough difference between the revisions to make them not compatible. Mine was C. You might have to find someone with the right revision for a good backup.

Could you please edit your topic asking for a Revision D backup.bin? Doing this I do not need to create another topic with the same objective.

EDIT: Here's a picture of my R4. The label is the same of yours @pixelmasher

Just wanted to say thanks mate. I have a R4i 3DS (rev c) that had the metroid white screen. I flashed this backup and it starts out white loading screen but then goes to the card menu now. I can't read the title of the card but that's just peachy with me. Bought the card today for 10 bucks off OfferUp. The guy said he couldn't make it work so I am glad to have such a quick turn-around time on getting it running.

Is anybody here have a R4i RTS Gold flashcart that is working? I need an original backup.bin dump file of it so I could restore my flashcart to its original state.

I may get motivated enough later to try to compile them all into one post/thread if nobody else does by then
It would be wonderful bro! Please do it! And if anyone could open a thread with the recovery .bin of others flash cards, so we can get help with it, it will be great! Gracias!

I tried the clean backup and it locked up the console like the other one.

I decided to just try the patched one for kicks. It actually worked as NTRBootHax card. It booted a "new" console into SafeB9SInstaller. Thanks.

It's a mystery. I'm not sure why I can't restore this card.

Can you upload /send me a copy of your patched backup.bin? (not the clean one).

Does any one have card with this icon?

If you do, could you upload a clean backup?

I want to see if you can update cards that refuse to be updated by restoring a backup with the ntrboot_flasher.

You mean the backup for faulty revision C cards that came with metroid prime icon? https://www.dropbox.com/s/vd1fb6hfje5g8iw/R4ids.cn_faulty_C_DSi_1.4.5_Flash.rar?dl=0
For non-faulty revision C, revision D and plus cards: https://www.dropbox.com/s/o1navc7rmssym6v/R4ids.cn_ntrboot_version_Backups.rar?dl=0

Hello guys!

I have the defective REV C Metroit version... and it was working fine with NTRBootHAX, but I decided to reflash it using ntrboot_flasher + GodMode9_ntr.firm renamed to boot9strap_ntr.
The cart worked fine, I could boot GodMode9... but now I can't reinstall NTRBoot :(
ntrboot_flasher says my cartridge is not compatible.

I even have the backup, but ntrboot_flasher will refuse to do anything since it reject my cart.

Here's a dump I have:
[INFO]: R4iGold: Init
[NOTICE]: R4iGold: HW Revision = a7a7a7a7
[INFO]: R4iGold: Injecting ntrboot
[INFO]: R4iGold: readFlash(addr=0x00000000, size=0x10000)
[INFO]: R4iGold: writeFlash(addr=0x00000000, size=0x10000)
[INFO]: R4iGold: readFlash(addr=0x00080000, size=0x70000)
[INFO]: R4iGold: writeFlash(addr=0x00080000, size=0x70000)


Now my HW Revision says 00000000 or 01010101

:(
