No doubts that the flashcarts from r4isdhc.com.cn don't have time bombs, they still use the R4i file system though, hence why it is considered "Modded" Wood R4 because the boot file was modified to boot into the RPG/Wood kernel.

Actually I have already looked into the kernels of all the Wood R4 kernels we have at the moment. The R4 carts that are from r4isdhc.com are using a TTMENU/Wood mix, basically it is using Wood R4 but with TTMENU components (Official Wood does not use anything related to DSTT), the Official Wood R4 flashcarts are the ones from r4ids.cn, their Wood R4 is literally running off of the old but modified akmenu from Acekard RPG. I am basically saying WITHOUT Wood R4 most of the clones you mentioned would be garbage just like the R4i SDHC 3DS RTS or any others from that line of flashcarts.

Update:
I just downloaded all the latest kernels for the flashcarts from r4isdhc.com, they aren't using Wood R4 as an official kernel, they are using the crappy R4i kernel that the flashcarts from r4i-sdhc.com uses. Which means that the Wood kernels these carts can use are definitely not official, I already looked at the boot files for both the modded Wood R4 and Official Wood R4, both are vastly different. The modded one as I already mentioned above is using TTMENU components (because the R4i SDHC series is basically just a DSTT clone), which means the Wood R4 kernel they use was indeed modified. I also discovered a crap ton of unofficial Wood R4 kernels from a couple links specifically made just for R4 clones and some older/official flashcarts.

Update #2:
For proof here are the kernel download links SPECIFICALLY from www.r4isdhc.com:
All of them use v3.9b:
http://www.r4isdhc.com/KerneDownload/R4i-V3.9b English.zip

I downloaded the kernels from r4isdhc.com.cn as well:
All of them use the same kernel:
http://www.r4isdhc.com.cn/soft/White-2013.rar
I used a hex editor to look at the file system, sure enough you find this right at the beginning: "SRAM_V110...PASS", this is only on the R4i kernels, which means yet again this was modified to be another Wood kernel, it isn't using anything official. This may not have a time bomb though since it does use Wood R4 in general, that doesn't make it official though.
Yes but none of the cards I mentioned is r4isdhc.com. wood r4 was open source for a long time so I see nothing wrong with cards having their own wood kernel.
The SRAM pass string is a homebrew sign, nothing kernel related. You can find homebrew that uses it as well.
 
They use MODDED Wood R4, even if they do use Wood R4, I am not counting alternative solutions to the problems, I am talking about their stock use, stock kernel, stock firmware, etc. Sure they can use Wood R4, that is NOT their default stuff though, without the modded Wood R4 the flashcarts would still be ticking time bomb clones (pun intended).
I don't know about the other teams but I can definitely tell you you're at least partially wrong on that.
R4iDSN uses official Wood R4, it's the only other cart than the r4ids.cn R4i Gold to do so. There's certainly no timebomb in the official Wood R4.

There are the original r4 and the acekard RPG, too

I even stated "STOCK" basically the R4i kernel it uses. If it uses the modded Wood R4 right off the bat then those flashcarts don't have time bombs. "R4iDSN uses official Wood R4" I was referring to flashcarts that aren't discontinued lol.

Well, yes, but they didn't receive the newer updates like RTS. Also support for Wood RPG was dropped at some point.

You replied specifically to a post mentioning R4iDSN and you said "all of those do". :unsure:
There is no "modded Wood R4" on the R4iDSN and it certainly doesn't have a timebomb. You come off as not knowing what you're talking about.

Mooded Wood R4 - for the Dual Core R4i, R4iDSN may have used the official Wood R4 but I never refered to it because it is discontinued, there are a ton of R4 flashcarts that nobody mentions because of this reason (regardless of the kernels they use), I am only talking about what we have today specifically.

You were responding to a post that mentioned R4iDSN and you clearly said "all of those" which includes R4iDSN, you can't come and tell me you weren't referring to it when you literally were. Well, whatever.
