Almost All Flash Kits Blocked Permanently

[Technicmaster0]

Seems like the r4i team from r4idsn.com released an update for the 4.4.0-10: http://r4idsn.com/news.asp. It supports wood as well as the r4ids.cn.

Goodbye Action Replay!

stupid fking nintendo, they really annoy me sometimes

Yes indeed- how dare Nintendo block unlicensed hardware that troubles a feature they offer.

Ohh gosh...
The article from DSTWO site frighten me.
I really thought that most of the flashcards are dead now but I don't think so right now.
There are 3 flashcards that works fine on the new firmware.
Its just like all others updates.
Nothing MAJOR that can't be fixed with software update of flashcards.
Just wait for update from your card.

Nothing uncrackable.

r4i gold 3ds(www.r4ids.cn) has also released 3DS 4.4.0-10 patch on the official website.
If you want to know more, just visit the official website.

Part of me is particularly happy that I chose the DStwo compared to the iEvo... especially since the Acekard team basically said "screw you" to all of us HW44 AK2i users.

That said, I would hope this development spurns some teams to band together for a proper CFW for the 3DS (and DSi's for that matter).

Problem is that this 3 working carts are problably the only ones that will work after this firmware update. Those 3 could only use a software update because their hardware allowed them too, the other carts doesn't have a hardware that allow them to update in a way they'll work on this firmware, so they are permanently blocked.

EDIT: To give a better explanation, there are differences in the hardware of many flashcarts, for some reason those 3 decided to use a desing where they have a rewritable Save IC, any cart that doesn't have that can't do any software update at all to work this firmware.

So in other words, @[member='GamerzHell9137'], the other flashcarts are dead, as in you cannot bring them back to life using Dragonballz. XD

Mother of God

I am doomed

I have accidentally choose firmware update the first time I got my 3ds xl(one month) ago.. it said it was going to download it next time I am connected to internet... I have not connected to internet since then waiting for my r4i flashcard to arrive.. was planning to re-enable wifi once I get my flashcard.. will it automatically download the latest firmware? how can I stop it now!??

Hmm that's rather confusing... the thread says "Almost All Flash Kits Blocked Permanently" but I can see in some other threads... r4i gold card supports the latest firmware? what's true, what's false?

 

[bobbyllama]

Seems like the r4i team from r4idsn.com released an update for the 4.4.0-10: http://r4idsn.com/news.asp. It supports wood as well as the r4ids.cn.

I can confirm that this update changed the R4i DSN 3DS from being recognized as Rafa Nadal Tennis to a Metroid Prime Demo cart. Can not yet speak to it's success with 4.4.0-10 as my 3DS' battery died shortly after I ran the card's FW update.

Edit: Clarified flashcart build.

I don't see why people have such a hard time with the meaning of "Almost" -.-

Please also describe the revision number located on the bottom of your flashcart just above the farthest right "tooth" printed in white on the PCB -- this is an important factor that we're trying to gather data on in the Firmware Update Compilation thread.

I have a Revision 8 card from r4idsn.com that has the Rafa Nadal Tennis header and does not accept the update.

the way the thread starter wrote the first post rather scared/panicked me LOL... he was like saying all current gen flashcards were doomed...

"From the current market, most of the cards are without save IC, so be blocked now. Therefore, this is the hardware defect, software can not solve."..that part scared me lol... fortunately r4i is still good )

EDIT: Ninja'd by exangel again.

EDIT2: Also, the whole "IC" bit needs to be dropped, that's not the proper language. All carts use an IC. It's like saying the original R4 doesn't have a "bootloader". It does, it just can't be modified.

I honestly think you should submit a clarified statement for the original post and for Pong20302000 to use in the Firmware Update Compilation thread. You English better.

Edit: I assume Another World would appreciate a more concise and accurate addendum enough to modify it..

Hi there. My card has a 'C' in the location you described. Hope this helps!

Hi there. My card has a 'C' in the location you described. Hope this helps!

Thanks, the "C" revision (most recent) has already been confirmed on both R4iDSN.com and R4iDS.cn -- at this point it appears that anyone with Revision 9, A, B, or C would be able to use the current updates that were released today and we have confirmed that revision 8 from both makers does not accept the update. No one has confirmed success earlier than revision 8 either.

I have successfully used my DSi-XL with the NDSi file (Not the NDSL file) to update my R4i Gold 3DS card to the new update: http://www.r4ids.cn/news.htm
I have heard that people can use their v4.3.0-10 3DS to perform the update with the NDSi file as well, THEN update to the system to v4.4.0-10.


Icon before: Chronicles of Narnia - Prince Caspian

Icon after: Metroid Prime - Hunters (DEMO)

I highly doubt the ez5i is permanently blocked. The FPGA code of this flashcart is updatable by the user with a firmware update.
