Hacking Need help getting my R4iTT working

[zodac]

Hi. I've got a 3DS with firmware v4.1.0-4E. I'm trying to use my R4iTT, but the 3DS doesn't recognise it. I know the R4 is fine, since it works on a DSL, but just doesn't appear on the 3DS.
I went onto the website and updated the kernel and firmware (from this page). It didn't work, so then I tried using pretty much every file on this list, but again, no combination would get it working on the 3DS.
Does anyone have any advice for what I should try next?

If it's not being recognized then it's a contact issue.

This is for a different cart but the process is the same.

It's being recognised in the DSL though - wouldn't that rule out a contact issue?

If it worked in the DSL before the update but doesn't now, it sounds like the update didn't run correctly and you've got a brick. You'll need a second flash cart in order to unbrick the first.

No, sorry, let me clarify.

It works perfectly fine in the DSL. I can run the apps and play roms, whatever. But it's simply not being recognised in the 3DS. I've tried flashing different firmwares but none are working, so I'm hoping someone can at least point me to the right firmware version (so I'm not constantly trying out different ones).

Ah, misread the earlier one, thought it was a correction on my initial reading.

If it works in one model but not in another, it's a contact issue. Flash carts are not made by Nintendo, they're not made in their factories or to their specifications, and are often cheaply-built as well. It's quite common for a cart to work in one model of DS, but not a newer one, we see it all the time.

Ok, cool. I'll give that a try and report back.

No luck I'm afraid. Can't see the contacts in the 3DS (not as obvious as the DSL), and neither of the paper tricks (cart loose in Slot 1, or the PCB being too low) worked.

Does the icon not show up in the DSL (so the same as the 3DS) if you put the R4 in without the MicroSD in it?

Without the MicroSD, it boots into the R4 and freezes on the first screen (where it's loading from the SD). So it is still recognised by the DSL even without the MicroSD.
