I thought someone had mentioned recovering it using another flash cart. There shouldn't be any reason you'd need another DSTT to recover it since the data that gets reflashed gets put on the flash cart being used to do the recovery.

I assume your DSTT worked fine before it was destroyed by fake-killer firmware? Your symptoms sound like the contact problems that have plagued some DSTT's as of late.

That said, version 1.15 of the official firmware has fake-killer code in it so you shouldn't run it on a fake. Use TTMENU.DAT from the archive to replace the official 1.17 version (keep the TTMENU folder from official 1.17).

So, did you put both DsttFlashWriter.nds [ver 0.05] and DSTTDUMP.BIN on the AK2 in order to do the recovery? Then you switched to the DSTT when it said to and pressed "A". Then did you test it with DsttFlashChecker.nds [ver 0.01] to see what it said?

Refix it, because if the 1.15 you used was from ndstt.com and downloaded recently that has bricker code in it too.

 

recover it again using the Ak2 and try the 1.15 with no killer code in from my mirror link here

DO NOT START up the DS with the recovered TTDS in it until you have removed the mem card and FORMATTED it and put the CLEAN no killer Kernel on it!

Then retry it in the TTDS

 

[*]I'm not familiar with the HP USB Disk Storate Format Tool. I suggest you use the Panasonic formatter.[*]You should get "No Card" if you run it without a microSD card. You should get "Menu?" if you insert a microSD card that has no firmware on it.[*]Did you install the firmware with the fake-killer disabled after you recovered your DSTT? Did you have a "TTMENU" folder from the official firmware that matches the version of the fake-killer disabled TTMENU.DAT you used?[*]Did you put your games in a "games" folder instead of at the root?[*]Did you leave plenty of free space on your microSD card?[*]Did you use "safely remove hardware" before you removed the microSD card from the computer?[*]Did you try it with another microSD card and/or card reader to eliminate possible problems with those?-Bri

 

here's the DSTTDUMP.BIN from the original TTDS RECOVERY files link

 

what would be the point!? its the one linked to above that I used! a re-dump would give the same file!

 

I tried the DSTT with DSision2
first time it worked
but when i add games to the mircrosd it won't start
i removed the games and it won't start

 

So you have contact problems. Unfortunately, that's not an uncommon problem. In fact, in post #3 of this very thread I said:

I assume your DSTT worked fine before it was destroyed by fake-killer firmware? Your symptoms sound like the contact problems that have plagued some DSTT's as of late.

Anyway, you should return the DSTT for a new one.
