Try downloading the latest firmware from your flashcard's website and putting it on the microsd card

Well there was no reason to update your DSi and your going to have to downgrade now

It's too late now, but for the future: There is almost no reason to update a DSi. The purpose of the updates was more or less blocking flashcarts
https://dsibrew.org/wiki/System_Menu

Instead of going through the downgrading process (which is a horrible idea in my opinion) I suggest one (or both) of these two options:

1. Install unlaunch: https://dsi.cfw.guide/

This disables the whitelist and signature checks and could possibly get your R4 usable (at least it worked with an Acekard 2i for me – which is blocked by 1.4.5). If you only want to get the flashcart working you can stop following the guide after installing unlaunch. But installing HiyaCFW and TWiLight Menu++ is a good alternative to a flashcart.

==========
Edit: Even if you do not want to use Hiya/TWilight please do not skip the NAND-backup step before installing unlaunch.
==========

One warning: unlaunch does some non-optional(!) patches to the System Menu not everybody likes:

• No "Health and Safety Warning" screen
• No music and no sound in System Menu

2. Replace your R4 with a newer one: [nds-card.com] R4i Gold 3DS Plus.

whoa the problem was vary, i have a mocked R4 and original R4, but i just hard reset it by removing the battery for a minute or more, then place the battery again, turn your dsi on, this fixed the problem for me, mine is 1.4.5U
