Hacking wifi R4i Revolution Upgrade V1.4.1

[Shandyerlock]

Hi

Both my sons had DSi XL on V 1.4.3E. Both also had the R4i Upgrade Revolution card V1.4.1. I managed to upgrade both cards using a friend's DSi. Recently had to replace one DSi XL and the card no longer works.

Tried the previous fix with friend's DSi again but it doesn't show me the Start button when I try and upgrade the R4i to the latest version (1.48b I believe).

Have also tried on an a different DSi to no avail.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers all

Andy

I'm assuming it doesn't show the "start" button because the firmware is already updated. When you put the flash card in the "new" DSi XL you do see the icon of the flash card correct? Does the flash card in general work but you are having problems updating to 1.48b? By the way what is the website on the bottom of the front sticker of your card, is it www.r4i-sdhc.com, like I'm thinking?

Go to the website on the front of your cart and download the latest kernel from there.

Thanks for your replies guys.

@Jimmyemunoz
Both cards were on the same firmware level but since getting the new DSi XL, the card shows as Alex Rider Stormbreaker. The "Good" R4i card plays fine on both the older XL and the new one. Also, the good one gives the "MIami Nights" gamecard logo. The "Bad" one gives the Black screen with the white text "An error has occurred" message.
I've attempted to use 1.43b as this is the firmware version on the working R4i but still doesn't give me the option to upgrade.

@Buleste and @Jimmyemunoz
It is www.r4i-sdhc.com and that is where I've been getting the system files from. I always keep these files and as said above, even resorted to trying V1.43b as that is ok on the working R4i, alas to no avail!

Thinking might need to invest £20 in a new one :-(

Again,
Thanks for your responses

Ok, Ive heard people couldn't update with some of the newer update files but 1.42 was the one that fixed the problem. I would try that if I was you. And that card can be bought for $7.50 at lightake.com, by the way.

Go here for the file that you need. It's 1.42B and it addressed the problem you're speaking of. You'll see that when you click the link.

Have you tried the "bad cart in a DS/DSlite and gone to the settings menu and tried the firmware update (you can download the kernel from the www.r4i-sdhc.com website but the firmware update has to be done via the DS's Wi-Fi and the settings menu. The full instructions of what to do are on the www.r4i-sdhc.com website). I suspect when you have tried 1.43 you are on about the kernel 1.43b which will do nothing to update your flashcart to work on the DSi firmware 1.4.3. Don't waste money on buying a new cart until you have tried what I have just said.

Thanks for your time again Guys.
I have already done what you're suggesting. The 1.42b link posted gives exactly the same result. I am trying to do the firmware update in a DS Lite but as soon as I click on Upgrade, the only button that appears is "Back". I have also tried this in a DSi with the same result.
@Buleste
Can you tell me the exact link for the full instructions? If it's the one where it shows a screenshot showing how to upgrade the firmware, it's no use as it is the one I have been referring to the whole time.

Maybe time to change to a cart that allows you to upgrade via a mini USB cable with the PC..........
