Is it possible to unbrick a flashcard?

[Xdqwerty]

I would want to unbrick my flashcard, when it hipotetically gets bricked

Really now, how can you expect anyone to answer that question without more details?

What kind of card is it? What makes you think it is bricked? What were you doing that bricked it? What have you tried so far?

Probably there are extreme measures you can take in some circumstances, though it would also probably be much easier just to get a new card.

The same questions apply. How do you think a card would get bricked?

If you deliberately write the wrong firmware to a flashcart, then yes, you could probably try to write a good firmware to the flashcart again.

Also, the word you are looking for is "hypothetically".

That just raises more questions. Like, which card is bricked!?

i said its not bricked

Yes, threads get confusing when you go back and edit older posts.

I still haven't gotten around to trying on one of my bricked R4s (similar to the 2019 you shared), but if you brick you might be able to flash back working firmware to this chip. Or at least that's what some flashcart nerd on the internet told me

You'd need a programmer though.

I have a bricked Flashcad that died while installing Ysmenu. and I couldn't never fixed it

Unfortunately we just don't seem to have anything that can flash those R4iTT clones. ntrboot_flasher can do a lot of carts, but not those r4itt ones.

Since ntrboot_flasher has stopped development, it would be a matter of time until somebody can make a fork with the inclusion of R4iTT carts. But as of writing, its not possible to write to those carts, not without desoldering the flash chip and popping it into an EEPROM programmer.

Can a brother get little help with the short lived iPlayer?? Mine somehow bricked itself years ago, I'm wondering if some sort of time bomb is why.
