this worked perfectly for me! If anyone is having problems with this I think 'rewriting roms' is an important step. I tried to just change the template and it wouldn't work but when i rewrote the roms it worked! Not sure if this just me.

Thanks for this tutorial! I have a question though, do backup saves work if the Chip/Cart ID is different?

I tried a lot and didnt make it to work. (the save-state was backed up, but couldnt go online)

I only tested 2 roms, so u may try for yourself, maybe works with different games.

change the manufacturer id is another option, since i find out with AE m.id, the gw patcher still recognize it as c2. so, try out
C2, AE, 45 these 3 m.id
Hope this can help

I got it to work, but I did it slightly differently than this tutorial because this only patches one game at a time, while mine you can patch multiple ones and has the same idea. The mistake I was making was not rewriting the games.

1. Used No Ban No Sky to patch the newest template.txt . This will replace all the headers with your private header. Rename the template (i.e. private0810.txt).
2. Open Gateway ROM Patcher 'as administrator' and Load the 3ds ROM you want to play online.
3. Click 'Import header from file' and select your private header.
4. You'll see popups, click 'Yes' to all of them. This is so the Patcher can suggest the correct Chip ID.
5. Open your patched template.txt with any text editor. Search(ctrl+f) for the Game Serial of your rom (you can find the serial at the top of the Patcher).
6. Copy the Chip ID at the bottom of the Gateway ROM Patcher
7. Place it where the Chip ID is for your game. There might be more than one instance of the game serial so be sure to patch their Chip IDs too.
8. Save the template.txt and use it in your Diskwriter. (make sure you put this template in your Diskwriter before writing your rom)
9. Write your rom to your microsd.
10. Your game should play online now!

P.s after patching the chip IDs so that your template works online for your selected ROMs I suggest changing the template name again (i.e online0810.txt).

I'm not sure if this would work for everyone but it worked for me! Let me know if this works.

No problem! Glad it worked for you. I had a lot of trouble going online with my roms not matching the Chip ID of my header and found the current tutorials to not work for me. So I made this method & so far it works with every game I've tried.

does the game cartridge u get the private header from need to be an online game or can it be any 3ds game?

and also just to clarify with this method you only need one physical game cartridge and it doesn't matter what the manufacturer id is?

PH can come from any game.

No. U may need more than one ph. Or u maybe can make it all work with just one. Its tricky to be sure, u can only test it a lot. Some games are pretty easy to setup, others sometimes have problems.

Are u sure u did patch this roms?
Are u writing or doing a backup on the diskwritter?

Dont forget to run both gateway patcher and diskwritter as administrator.

Also are u doing some backup of save state? cause think u cant do this and change the template at the same time by the reason of how the pokemon-games saves works, they are card 2 games.

U are u manufacturer on the same place where u took the ph, gateway patcher.

i am doing and i was given the 2 ph

Given how?

Did u bought it or did u lend the cartridge to someone u trust?
Ask for the original dump and open it on gateway patcher

Its all a matter of template for going online. I have X, Y and ORAS running perfectly. So if u are absolutely doing all steps right so the only thing i can think is happening to u is that u got a public header.

The difference is in the savegame function. Usually the save goes to the SD card on the console whereas on card 2 games they are saved directly on the cartridge.

And they dont have the same chip. Actually i have found out that each version of the couples(like X & Y and OR & AS) have a different m.ID than the other.
