Hacking Need help with an R4 clone

[GWTRC]

Yeah yeah I know, there have been several threads similar to this. I've read thread after thread after thread and nothing thus far has worked. So I'm making my own thread.

I bought an insanely cheap R4 card from www.r4isdhc.com. notice NO "-"... so I figured it was a clone based on other threads.it's the R4 "3ds upgrade" SDHC Dual-Core. I've downloaded kernel after kernel, YSMenu and Stock, and I keep getting a "? menu" error (yes it puts the "?" before "menu"). So can any of you help me out here? I'll provide whatever screenshots/pictures you need.

Can you post a picture of the card?

a screenshot from my DSL (i do also have a TWiLight Menu DSi), and the R4 itself.

bumping thread, assuming it's fallen by the wayside.

Have you eliminated the obvious causes of failure with the micro-SD(card bad, not formatted FAT32, simply trying another card)?
Does the R4 show the

MENU​

in the same way when trying without any micro-SD inside?
The latest official kernel should be the one mentioned here.

The micro sd must be formatted in fat 32 and have on the micro sd (in root) the files you see here:

I have the same card from the same website. I can confirm it's a DSTT clone. I recommend putting YSMenu on it.

You agree, but at least first you have to start with the original kernel, do not you think?

You can get completely rid of the kernel you got from the card's manufacturer. I have YSMenu as the only thing on my flashcart and it boots straight to YSMenu. The only thing I had to do is rename and hex-edit some files.

So you did not understand what I wanted to say.
For you, if the card does not boot with the original kernel, can it start with YSMenu?
For me first you must find the problem because it does not start with the original kernel.
For YSMenu I prefer the dual boot function.

 

[bandithedoge]

It boots straight to YSMenu without the kernel.

 

[robyspy]

Again, this I know very well, but if it does not start with the original kernel, it does not even start directly with YSMenu if you do not find the problem first.
If the SD has a problem or is formatted incorrectly, can YSMenu start directly?

 

[bandithedoge]

In this case, the first thing to try is reformatting the SD card or trying another one.

Good, that's what we recommended 10 post ago.

okay, I thought this thread was dead, will update when I've tried your suggestions.
