Hacking Have you Flashed you DS?

[Diablo1123]

I did it, went smooth, Bye Bye warning screen!

What kind of screwdriver did you use to open the battery lid, all the ones I have don't work

 

[flamesmaster]

Just one lieing round the house. It fit perfectly, search your hardware shop or $1 shop for small screwdrivers!

We have a local "Dollar Store", they sell a "6PCS Precision Screwdriver Set", it comes in a nifty little plastic case and has 1 each of the following: Phillips #1 #0, Flat 1.4, 2.0, 2.4, 3.0. The 1.4 and 2.0 fit well into the mini phillips, although if not removed before, it is EASY to break the 1.4

Eh I'll check out my local dollar store when I'm walking home tomarrow then.

Well in the past few weeks I have Flash 4 DS's! 1 DS phat and 3 DS Lite's.

One of the DS Lite's did get bricked so I had to unbrick it, all is well now

.

So in the end all of them worked out!

[Isaiah]

flashed my ds lite worked fine, flashed my friends ds lite worked fine flashed another friends ds lite slipped shut down full brick so i opened up DSOrganize renamed teh file extension to .gba flashed it to my ezflash v 3-in-1 and booted it into gba mode on his reflashed it and everything is fine no trouble!

 

[DanTheManMS]

Um... how on earth did that work? FlashMe is a DS program, there's no way it would boot in GBA mode. You could boot it from the GBA cartridge in DS mode, yes, but there's no way you completed a FlashMe installation from GBA mode.

Good to see that the recovery code worked though.

I just recently flashed my DS phat hoping to get the multi back light control and was hoping for a bright light, but sadly mine was not the right kind.

 

[shinnyuuya]

I will not flash my DS because i'm not sure it will success or not. if flashing unsuccessfull what will happen to me?

 

[Da-Bomb1]

If it's unsuccessful, it will brick your DS. But that'll only happen if you do something wrong...or do something like turn your DS off before it's done. Be very sure that the battery doesn't go and fall out when you're in the middle of flashing it.

 

[Golfman560]

But if it does fail, isn't it possible to use a flashcard to fix it? I Remember seeing a guide to do it somewhere if you had a slot1 flashcard
