I know that bricked feel, bro. That's why I find offensive when others put in doubt the word of users reporting that their console got bricked. May those 3DSes find salvation in the scene.

The way he writes is familiar, feels like I've seen it here...
Seems like "they" don't even believe their own words anymore - maybe "they" never have - it's truly just propaganda for the masses.

the thing i dont understand why didnt Gateway use better hardware where it would be hard for clones to copy they work? Supercard has seem to done it.
The best part is, that quote says, "switching to a gateway after using a clone is 100% risk free". The quote in the op states word for word:
...OBJECTION!
And also, it's kind of ridiculous how that quote makes Normmatt look like some devil who just wanted to brick consoles for fun when there's an explanation that makes much more sense (which is simply: he didn't know).
They're too greedy for this. You can make $60 profit at $80 price point if your hardware costs $20 (going by the fact that clones are sold for ~$30), but you can't make $60 profit on $50 hardware (or at least your chances of selling $110 flashcart are way lower than $80 one).

Imagine if they just disappeared after all this. Man that would be depressing.
Well, if you think of it this way:
- They're bricking consoles
- They still haven't released 2.0 final and it seems to have been majorly postponed because of all this bricking stuff (or maybe it was never real to begin with, maybe there was no way for them to get NAND saving to work).
I dunno. Maybe the bricking code was delibrate for both legit and non-legit flashcards. Would make sense as to why the timebomb was based on the date.
2.0 next 48 hours.

Please learn to read. Here's the important part: "We will have something in the next 48 hours most likely(regarding 2.0 update we have been waiting for desperately!!!!)"
How long until the next brick wave? Place your bets, gentlemen.
yes, by doing they shoot themselves in the foot. now the Gateway team have a bad rep, because it so easy to copy.
Note how "something" could just as well be another trailer or something similar. And even then, I wouldn't use 2.0 final until someone checked it for bricks.
Lets put a rule on these forums: No crying supplier allowed.
Legit or not, if it needs just one defective file to brick the 3DS, this product is not safe. If you put a wrong file on your DS flashcards, there is some mechanisms that "protect" the DS and on worst scenario you will get a bricked flashkit (do not try this kids, I'll not refund you, no even with a $100 shipping). I remember that when DS flashcards were not safe, the internet was full of disguised files, like DSBricker.nds disguised as Pokemon.nds
If I were Nintendo I would simply start to spread these files again, as all flashcards are vulnerable.
So kids, dont buy 3DS flashcards for now, avoid Gateway and Clones.

What i have written on the other forum, is just my knowledge about this. The credits for that go to yellows8 and ichfly. Without them everyone would still think Gateway is right in everything, they say. Hopefully this shows you, they are not, what they promise to be and hopefully you can trust 3dbrew again after the decapping disaster.
The infos, i have given should be enough to unbrick every 3DS without sending it to Gateway and losing money, *if* you have a backup of the NAND.bin. Otherwise not, because the "emuNAND" partition can't be used for this, because Gateway reencrypted it with their own keys.

Oh, and not to forget: This can't be done with any cardreader. You need a device capable of low level communication!
Good luck with recovering your 3DS/XL

Lol i think it's pretty obvious what gateway is/was trying to do.
1st, intentionally bricking ppl's 3ds who use clones and pretending they dunno what's wrong, but saying that they warned ppl that using clones is a risk, till they got caught by a person who managed to read the code, and even so they will probly not really admit using brick code.
It's obvious they made the code to brick the 3ds, and most likelly have a simple way to also unbrick it, the reason why is cause now they wil come out as prince to the rescue of all bricked 3ds, but for sure not for free.
Their solution for the clone ppl will be either buy a gw and release a code that will fix the bricked 3ds, or release some other hardware for the fix, making them look like the heroes and at the same time increasing their sales, or at least it was how they wanted it to go down, if the brick code wasn't found.
If any 3ds using oficial gw with oficial launcher got bricked i'm sure they were prepared for it and dismissed it just as collateral damage. Normmat ruined their plans somewhat with the modified launcher causing their precious gw to also brick 3ds so now they're in a bind making the recent annoucements.
It's all assumptions on my part, but probly not far from the truth, all a plot to increase sales.
