Hacking how long does an update take?

[DollyPlurtastic]

seems like the right nds file because it started updating with no error....its stuck at 19% its been i think 20 minutes....is this normal?

 

[s4mid4re]

Nope, not normal. It's probably a contact issue or slow msd card interfering with the reading/writing process. I don't think it'll move any further, so it's probably bricked.

Which flashcart do you have? Can you provide us with the website printed on the cart? Depending on the flashcart, you might be able to recover it (if it bricks, anyways).

thank you so much for helping

this is were i bought it

http://www.ableds.com/New-R4iDSLL-for-3DS-DSI-xl-DSi-DS-lite-DS-p/r4idsll-3ds.htm

the website is downforever ..

r4idsll.com

it wasnt working at all ..i tried over 30 different kernals and firmwars but i finnally found one that works on some random german site someone had uploaded it somewere and i downloaded it then it finnally worked ....now i just cant play it in 3ds 3.0


i know kernals r everywerre but why do some sites say find the firmware?? i never see firmware for download on any of these sitres just kernal

 

[DollyPlurtastic]

they both work fine on the DSXL and below but no 3ds 3.0 ..



..i have 2 cards andI ONLY NEED ONE to work 3ds...can u help with eaither? which ever is easier because im going crazy trying to figure this out

the first card on the front of the card says r4i *3DS* Revolution for DS ... blue sticker m, super mario box!!

ALSO i have this card

http://www.r4sdhc.com/r4tsdhc1.asp


i got it to work a long time ago for my XL because i updated it... now i want it ot work on 3ds it says it had an update i followed everything correct but it says to update by pressiong the update button and the update button is missing!!! the card says "please restore flash.r4i to enable updating again" so i add the flash.r4i in the folder it needs to be in and when i turn on the ds it says the same thing ...i check the card and the file was deleted ....

the DS is deleting this file that i need to update the kernal

 

[s4mid4re]

I doubt either of those will work on the latest 3ds version.

 

[DollyPlurtastic]

the website says it supports it and even has a update kernal for it , but it just wont let me update it

it says something about downloading corresponding firmware but it doesnt have any for download only kernals ...so i downlaod the kernal and drag it to my SD card and it says just press update button in config and it should work~ but there is no update button ..ive updated before but now its gone were the button use to be

it sayd

"please restore flash.r4i to enable upgrade"

so i keep adding it over and over to the folder it tells me to and it keeps saying the same thing and the DS keeps deleting the flash.r4i i keep adding in ..i got the file directly from the website...this is so strange i dont no whats going on,...ive even tried 3 different sd cards and formatted them and everything ,,,,,

the sd or somthing keeps deleting the update file

when i first got this card i updated it find for my xl because it wasnt working because i updated my DS and it was fine ..now i just want it to work for 3ds 3.0 ...im sorry this is just driving me crazy because the website says it works but i cant do it T+T

 

[s4mid4re]

It certainly does... here are the instructions (on the website) for updating:

R4 Card V1.4.3 Dsi and 3.0.06 3DS Firmware Upgrade Steps:

1: Copy the corresponding upgrade firmwares to micro sd card.​

2: Insert the R4 card with firmware into the console which is lower than the V1.4.3 version, then turn it on to enter the R4 upgrade interface:​

a> The display of "loading" interface shows the R4 card upgrade is in process, please don't cut off the power or take out the card.​

b> The prompt“V1.4.3 upgrade completed" will be shown on the lower left corner after the R4 card upgrade is done. Now you are allowed to cut off the power and take out the card. It takes about 10 seconds to finish the upgrade.​

c> Download the latest kernel to the successfully upgraded card, and use the card on the V1.4.3 NDSI to confirm it's a successful upgrade.​

​

I think that bolded portion is what you're missing.​

it only says loading for 1-2 seconds

i can play all games and everything works fine for all my ds cept 3ds

Ok I was having trouble updating my R4i SDHC (from www.r4sdhc.com) to make it work on my 3DS (v3.0.06) but finally figured out how to do it.


1) On the page http://www.r4sdhc.com/r4tsdhc1.asp there are 2 links written in chinese above the "R4i v2.20T/R4 v2.20T Kernel Download". Download the one on the top (filename: down2.40.rar). Also download the latest kernel (filename: English 2.10T15.rar).

2) Backup your games and format the SD card using panasonic SD formatter (I used the one from here: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/).

3) Copy the contents of the file down2.40.rar into the SD card.

4) Put the R4i in your DSi (NOT THE 3DS). It will go to the loading screen and after a while the message "V 3.00 upgrade completed". You can power the DSi off and take the SD card off.

5) Format the SD card again using the SD formatter. Put the contents from English 2.10T15.rar in the SD card, you can also throw in your games.

The R4i SDHC (from www.r4sdhc.com) should now be working on your 3DS.

Though, when I did this the only difference was that I used my DSLite, instead of a DSi, but it should work nevertheless

once you run it make sure you take an extra long look at the bottom screen

 

[loco365]

@Luigi2011SM64 I think the OP meant that it won't run on their 3DS.

If you are trying to run a 3DS rom, well... you can't.
