Hacking Clone of a kernel?

[Karuto]

I have a marked V4.5 3DS R4i.
For whatever reason it has downgraded itself.

Does anyone have a clone of a working kernel they could send?

(Working on 3DS firmware V5.1.0.11)

Many thanks

It's not the kernel, it's the firmware on the cart itself that determines DSi and 3DS compatibility. You will need to run the update program on the flash cart, and the update program has to come from the site that made your cart.

Sometimes the firmware updater program is packaged in the kernel download.
