Hacking BIg problem with flashme v7, DSL shut down!

[Lele]

Hi ppl,
i have a DSlite i use a supercard lite and superkey.
I'm going to flash my DS but at 6% the console shut down.
Now i have double black screen.
I try to use A B SELECT START but doesnt work.
Now what can i do?

 

[Wuschmaster]

If A B SELECT START doesn't work, it looks like you're screwed. Should have been more carefully with your screwdriver.
Looks like you gotta buy a new DS.

 

[Lele]

No other solution?

Before buy another, i try with assistance, but i cant believe there is no other possibility

Don't scare him, the solution is there if he got to 6%. Taken from

RECOVERY MODE

NOTE: Make sure there is NOTHING inserted into the DS slot. This includes a game, PassMe1/2, or NoPass!

First, write flashme.nds to your media and insert it into the GBA slot.
Next, hold SELECT+START+A+B all at the same time and turn your DS on.
The DS will boot directly to the GBA slot and from here, you can launch flashme.nds (If it isn't already started) and install it again.

Your mistake is most likely you still have your superkey in the slot.

i also have do that but nothing.
I leave superkey fron DS slot, i pute flashme.nds on mi microsd eadn insert supercard lite into GBA slot.
I put on my console and push the 4 button but nothing appear

 

[tama_mog]

try it a couple times and make sure you're holding all 4 buttons, try playing around with the timing when you hold it.....I have flashed 5 ds lites but I have never shut the thing off during the process but I know it's recoverable for a fact if it got past 1% (assuming you are indeed using flashme v7). Have some patience and play with it, you'll get it.

please remove your superkey, you dont need it anymore.

hold select+start+a+b and keep them pressed, then turn your dsl to on. its best to use 2 people to do this.

I managed to fix a dsl with supercard minisd that way. i heard other flashcarts dont work so well in recovery mode.

 

[tama_mog]

true, he may be in a bit of trouble with a g6 but it won't be a problem with a supercard.

Don't know about anything else, but with M3 miniSD the recovery mode worked perfectly. My DSL turned off at 17% and again at 22%, no problems at all starting it up. The screen worked perfectly (no graphics glitches), and flashme did not even have to be on the root of the card.

 

[lenselijer]

Nice to hear it worked out for you

M3 and supercard work fine, but g6 lite doesnt in recovery mode.

anyway, my dsl turned off at 1%, but i just used the recovery mode to bring it back to life.
I dont really think you can brick a dsl, but some people say they did

 

[outphase]

everyone who "bricked" freaked out and didn't know it still works.

 

[AshuraZro]

They deserve to freak out if they don't properly read up on what flashme is and the recovery code as far as I'm concerned. It's one bloody page, and the same one with the tutorial (at www.dspassme.com is the one I speak of).

I DID///but anywho...how much do you have to have installed before recovery modes is availible./...


Also i think i have touched the screw a few times as it has shut off on its own while flashing...but it has never blew the fuse

If you scroll up, you'll see your answer. 1%.

Do you think it would be worthwhile for me to put my DSL up for auction on ebay? Are there people that would have use for it?

Did you brick it at 1% or something?

If you have a G6, you can just try recovery mode on another type of flashcard instead, if you have a friend who has one, or if its a 1% brick, you can do a BIOS chip hotswap with a working DS (basically you boot the working DS, run the flash and then before starting the process, swap the firmware chips. Does require chip pullers and a little skill (plus you have to know what chip is the firmware chip; probably socketed just like a motherboard BIOS chip).
