Hacking HELP: R4i Error Message

[LadyX]

My R4i V1.45 that I use with my DSi XL V1.4.5E suddenly stopped working. I started getting this "an error has occurred. Press and hold the power button to turn the system off. Please refer to the Nintendo DSi Operations Manual for help troubleshooting". The website listed on the R4i card is www.ndsiLL.net, I've checked this website if there was any firmware update but I couldn't find any. I've posted my question in another forum a few days ago but I didn't get a reply, so I thought I'd try posting it here. Please help me fix this and any help is greatly appreciated.

well the firmware listed on there site is down

NDSiLL_3DS45_NDSi145_Patch.rar

you will need to find it elsewhere

but you need to copy and then run the update on the card
and to do that you will need to put it in a console it currently works on
e.g a DS Phat or Lite

I can't find it anywhere. What should I do?

I think it's on filetrip

This is it? Thanks. Should I format the SD before?

Are you sure this is compatible with the card I have? It says R4i Gold 3DS.

This is what the ReadMe document says:

In order to make your r4i gold 3ds support 3DS6.0.0-X,you need to update your r4i gold 3DS with r4i gold 6.0 patch. Please follow the instructions below carefully:


1.Visit our site: www.r4ids.cn , download the latest WOOD R4 V1.60 kernel (have to re-download it even you did it before).
2.Download the r4i gold 6.0 patch
3.Unzip r4i gold 6.0 patch to the root directory of your tf card.
4.Get a NDSL/NDSi or a 3DS which system version is below 3DS6.0.0-11.
5.Run R4iGold_3DS60_Patch_NDSi_3DS.nds to update your r4i Gold 3DS card.
6.Attention: do not power off your console during the updating process.
7.After updating your r4i Gold 3DS card successfully, open the shell of your card, see the PCB picture below, cut off the signal line as shown by arrow in the yellow oval.

Note: Don't cut the line before the patch updating done!!!

8.Now, your r4i Gold 3DS card can work on 3DS 6.0.0-11

You can also update your r4i Gold 3DS card on a NDSL in case you can’t enter wood menu with your card.

1.Just get a working flashcard(like R4, AK2, DSTwo and etc) and boot up
R4iGold_3DS60_Patch_NDSL.nds
2.Take out your working flashcard from the NDSL and insert your r4i Gold 3DS card
3.Press KEY_A and the updating process will begin.
4.After updating successfully, you need to do the same as above step 7(cut off the signal line).

I can't even do that. See:http://ndsill.net/contacte.asp

This is so frustrating!

P.S. I'm not skilled so I won't be able to do what Johnny88 suggested.


I think I'll throw away this R4 and buy another one. What do guys recommend? I've read R4 Wood flashcarts are good.

This has the info on the specific models we tend to recommend.

The Supercard DSTwo seems like worth buying. The R4 I have supports only SD. I have 3 SDHC that I don't use so I'll be able to use it with the DSTwo flash cart.

did you even read the post above before you posted

they posted a new firmware update last night
you just need to run that on the card using a DSphat or Lite or any DS it can currently load on

Sorry, it's because I didn't understand your last post "they release a new firmware with Johnny posted above".

Anyway, why do I need to run the firmware on a DS Phat/Lite? Can't I use the DSi XL?

the update needs to be run like a game

so if your card is blocked on your current console then you cant run it
(the Error screen means its currently blocked)

But does the R4i flash cart work on a Lite?

Flashcard can never be blocked on a DSPhat or Lite because those consoles could not be updated by Nintendo to block them
