Mail sent to the gateway team.
E-mail enviado para equipe do gateway.

First of all, we want to reinsure you that all Gateway users will receive full
support. We care about our customers.
Exceptionally, the tone of this normally standard support request email might be
a bit harsh because of the abuse claims made by clone producer staff pretending
of bricks, which were proven to be just part of their marketing plan to make
customers believe we also have issues with console bricking. To be clear, we
already had dozen of claims which just were proven to be fake. Unfortunately
this cost us time away from doing what we do best, bringing you constant updates
to make your Gateway experience better and better.
We still answer every single request to be sure no genuine Gateway user is left
out.
If your console is bricked, and you only used the files we provided on our
website, then it is almost certain this is not related to Gateway, but we will
gladly help you to thank you for your support and purchase. We mean it was
probably just an accidental bricking, like it happens sometimes for mainstream
Nintendo 3DS users or any device in fact who do not use any accessories. But we
will fix it for you, gladly.
We will send you back your console repaired - most of the case - or a brand new
console.
As you can imagine, we can read any Nintendo 3Ds like a book. If you send us a
console that was bricked any other way - most likely using a clone product (MT
card, 3DS Link, R4i 3DS etc.) - we will instantly see it, and you will be
required a $100 shipping and handling fee to return your bricked console.
***
IMPORTANT: ALL returns must include your Nintendo 3DS, GATEWAY RED CARD and your
SD CARD. Any incomplete return will be handled as above, with a $100 shipping
and handling fee to return the console & accessories.
In addition to the console GW red card and SD card if possible please copy your
Nand backup file to the SD card , if not possible we will do our best to recover
your unit, but it is considerably harder for us.
***
To send us your console, Gateway and SD card, please contact your vendor, and
email us the tracking number and vendor's name. We will handle the rest.
Again, we want to apologize for the harsh terms of this email. We normally
provide friendly and quick support. But the clone team is a very organized mafia
which uses dozens of fake Gateway users to pretend their problem are theirs. We
hate to make it complex for you, but their actions force us to act this way to
find the right balance between proper support and still being able to work on
updates to keep Gateway moving forward.
We will for sure repair any legit damaged console, even if it is unrelated to
us, as long as it doesn't come from a clone use. We will not pretend if
comes from a clone use if it didn't. We can instantly and clearly see when a
clone was used, without any possible mistake. So rest assure again, if you did
not use a clone, we will fix your console.
Why we establish those conditions is because we know that otherwise, the clone
army of paid forum posters will send us hundreds of consoles just to again
waste our time, so we can't update our firmware and provide good support to our
customer. It is a crazy situation but unfortunately there is nothing we can do.
Thanks for your understanding! Again, we stand by you, and look forward to much
more to come from us. First being sending you back your console good as new!

According to the forums, is a problem in the firmware 2.0 beta them, few people had the problem according to the forums but unlocking is like all others, is a change in the console. Let's send a message to them to see what kind of support they are giving as yet we have no official message by positioning them in on what to do or some way to reverse this, we rely solely on them because we saw that boards not there is no procedure for such cases. I will contact them, I ask that you keep contact with us for the next days.

De acordo com os fóruns, é um problema na firmware 2.0 beta deles, poucas pessoas tiveram o problema de acordo com os fóruns mas o desbloqueio é como todos os outros, é uma alteração no console. Vamos mandar uma mensagem para eles para ver que tipo de suporte eles estão dando pois até o momento não temos nenhuma mensagem oficial por parte deles nos posicionando sobre o que fazer ou alguma forma de reverter isso, vamos depender exclusivamente deles pois vimos que nos fóruns não há nenhum procedimento para esses casos. Entrarei em contato com eles, peço que mantenha o contato conosco para os próximos dias.

conclusion.
Conclusão.

If the dealer nor the gateway knows what to do because the team has not given the gateway instructions or tools to repair my nintendo 3ds XL how can I believe in the gateway that all staff will be solved?

Se nem o revendedor do gateway sabe o que fazer porque a equipe do gateway não deu instruções nem ferramentas para reparar meu nintendo 3ds XL como posso acreditar na equipe do gateway que tudo será resolvido?

I really feel for your loss. Although I now have 14 legit 3DS games that I bought, I understand why there are flashcarts and why people buy them. I do not condone piracy, but I condone entrepreneurs like gateway bricking peoples systems. That is like vandalism in my opionion and should be punished by law. unfortunately they are in china where there is now law

I hope they are going bankrupt after that stunt!

 

[wulfei]

I guess it was the right decision to just turn of my 3ds and sit this one out.
Best of luck to you OP.

I dont like their attitude in the mails so far...
All this bricks occuring after 2.02b. Still they see no connection and accuse everybody of being members of the mafia.
I just hope GW is actually fixing this. Dont care if they do it silently.

 

[mybluered]

the first thread.

you are not the first one and you are not the last one.

 

[wharfl]

my old 3ds xl just lived 3days after purchase
3dslink and ver 3.2 launcher was used at that time.

feel sorry for your case
hope gateway would solve it for you

 

[wulfei]

the first thread.

How can you still doubt this is real? Even reviewers have gotten bricks at this point. Surley i have seen the cloners posting here but I dont think they would go to this lenghts to make GW look bad.
Also its not that weird to think somebody registering to the site after they have a problem.
I lurked here since around 3 years but decided to register after I got my GW card..

 

[Skiller23]

again! sorry for your loss
i received my gw few days ago and i didn't use it, i'll wait until a new update 100% clean is released

 

[Cid2mizard]

Good luck

Does anyone else find it weird that 90% of the bricks seem to be Brazilian?

 

[dezmen]

Does anyone else find it weird that 90% of the bricks seem to be Brazilian?

Because aliens exist.

 

[Alocks]

Does anyone else find it weird that 90% of the bricks seem to be Brazilian?

Pay 100 dollars for each game, 300 dollars for a 3ds, live in a country with 198 million of people, and you'll understand lol

 

[ASUS]

There are numerous reasons for this one is the high price of games in Brazil.

1 game out in Brazil on average USD 62.17 and USD 100 for new games launched.
1 Nintendo 3ds XL USD 497.33.

Tax in Brazil is extremely high. 100% Tax x 2.
only with Contraband.

...And get fucked by customs who hold the packages for 20+ days in Sao Paulo.

You know that if you condone something it basically means you don't really mind it, right? Condoning the bricking is saying you're accepting it.

 

[crazyace2011]

I didn't know that, you don't have to get rude about it I understand the frustration. hows was I to know what would happen.

 

[R4iFanboi]

I didn't know that, you don't have to get rude about it I understand the frustration. hows was I to know what would happen.

Not being rude at you bro, but their custom. I am not from Brazil though, never even been there. I just researched their gaming markets.

Edit:

Basically, Brazil, Portugal, Italy and Russian Federation has some of the most notorious customs in the world.

The gaming in Brazil is extremely expensive as the government put a lot of tax on video games. It doesn't stop Brazilians from buying video games though as they really love Nintendo products down there. They find that it's only a one time investment and paying a premium doesn't matter as long as they are going to get a lot of entertainment from it.

 

[crazyace2011]

my apologies. I wish there was a way to get 3ds systems down there at a fair price not a price gouging price.

 

[naddel81]

thanks for letting me know. I meant: I condemn gateway for bricking ppls 3ds. I do't condemn piracy, because I understand the reasons for its existence.
