Hacking Bought R4iSDHC GOLD Pro 20XX today and doesn't seem to be working...

[KamisamaLover]

Hi guys! I just received my R4iSDHC GOLD Pro 2018 and nothing seems to be working. I have my micro sd card inside with ds_ntrboot_flasher_dsi.nds inside and it is formatted to 32FAT. I have a shitty ikea magnet and my brick is just a completely black screen and the blue light turns on (and thats about it). If anyone could help me that would be much appreciated!

Is it already flashed with NTRBoot?

 

[KamisamaLover]

I don't think so

How would I know?

Then you can't use it to unbrick the 3DS if it's not flashed

I have heard more than one report that the magnet that was used with their ntrboot flashcard was the problem. You might check that first.

 

[KamisamaLover]

Ok. Lemme just go find a magnet in the shed

yeah I dont have any other more powerful magnet

You would know if it's flashed if the cart isn't recognized on the home menu

My 3ds is bricked with a completely black screen. No home menu...

this brand does not come pre-flashed you will need a working ds/dsi/3ds to flash it

 

[KamisamaLover]

will it show up on a standard dsi?

If the card doesn't have ntrboothax installed you will have to install it to use ntrboothax with your 3ds. Here is a link.

yup follow the instructions here Flashing ntrboot (DSi) - 3DS Guide to flash ntrboot to the card (you will not be able to flash it back until you have a cfw 3ds)

Ok... the program on the dsi is Touch! Bomberman Land Nintendo. When I open it it just comes up with a white background with a red box with menu and a ? mark inside... How do I activate the flashcart?

You might try this with the DSi. Basically you run the DS installer file from a sdhc card in the flashcard while using the flashcard in the DSi.

first you need to download the kernel (likely called wood) and put (unzip if needed) it on the flashcards sd root

go to the site on the flashcards sticker to find the firmware for it

 

[KamisamaLover]

But how do I flash it. I cant even do anything on the menu screen and I have put the ds_ntrboot_flasher_dsi.nds

 

[wormdood]

see my above edit

 

[KamisamaLover]

So I download this...:
