Hacking AK2i update (unbrick) question...

[penthaler]

Maybe this question is stupid, but I need to know the answer...

When I make a update FW of the card and it bricks, and I want to unbrick it, does this bricked card need a microSD with any OS and update file inserted inside?
I know the file which to use to do it, I know this updating step by step, but... when I start the update on working card, unplug it - and instead of it insert that bricked - does the bricked need anything inside it?

(I hope you know what I mean)

I think I understand you, but forgive me if i'm wrong.
you're saying, that you want to make an update file for a card, and if it bricks, can you unbrick it by putting a microsd with the update file in the card?
when a card is bricked, it cannot be read by the ds(i), so you can't run the update again. Except for the ak2i. If you update the ak2i on a dslite or dsi, you can put the updater on another card and run it, then flip out the other flashcard and update the ak2i.

Almost understand

I need to know only - that I need (or dont need) any microSD in that bricked card.

I know that I must run the update file on another WORKING card, and whole procedure I know too...

aah alright, my bad, sorry.
you don't need a microsd in that bricked card, because it writes it on the chip that's inside the flashcard.
