So my supercard had this problem where the text was ghibberish unreadable so i couldnt find the game i wanted to play so is started trying them one by one but at some point i went to the wrong place and it started to load this update after it did the screen went white and the ds cant find it anymore
 
So my supercard had this problem...
Is it the Slot2 (GBA) SuperCard or the Slot1 (DSOne) one? If it's the first one maybe I can help you.
...the text was ghibberish unreadable so i couldnt find the game...
At this point your SD was corrupted and you should have simply recovered its kernel files, reformatted it and copied the roms back into it. There was no point in playing it in that condition. :teach:
...at some point i went to the wrong place and it started to load this update....
This fact doesn't make sense. How could the kernel of your flashcart update if you didn't have the necessary files in the SD, and anyway you were not online? :unsure:
 
It goes to the gba slot and yeah it wasnt connected to the internet i dont even know how to do that

Is this your flashcart?
If you are interested, I can give you its PC software, the kernel files to try to update it and its guide.
Let me know.
 
The complete guide, its PC software, and the latest firmware available (use it only as a last resort). Everything you need is written in the guide.

I updated v1.85 to v1.85, it doesn't start anymore, hangs on the game boy splash screen. I need a flashing method via jtag.
 
I told you to update it only as a last resort; besides, it was the same version as the previous one, as you say. What's the point? I wouldn't know how to help you, unfortunately.
I originally did it, then I wrote here
Are you sure this is not just a manifestation of the science about the contacts in action?
Other cartridges work, it's not in contact! Any ideas on how to get it back?
 
Did you try to press it to the contacts better?
It's called the "paper trick" - fold some paper a few times to stick between the pcb and the case to force better contact.
 
Listen. My advice is to buy a new one. I don't know where you live, but on eBay, Amazon or Aliexpress you can find it very cheaply in micro SD version, and it contains the kernel already updated to the latest version. With a little patience, after a few weeks of waiting you will be able to play with it again. It's not worth the hassle of fretting over the old one. :)

It's too easy, needs to be restored.
 
To do this, I need a Nintendo DS, and I have a GBA SP.
What they have suggested to you is the only possible solution, although, as reported often here in the past, it has rarely worked.
You should therefore borrow from a friend or neighbor a DS phat/ lite with an r4 containing "flashmp.nds" in the micro SD, insert your supercard into the gba slot, and try this method: it will be a slow process, and you should not turn off the DS before it is finished!
