Hello everybody,
our 3DS XL bricked 2 days ago.
We have purchased the "geniue" Gateway card from elewelt.com
the bricking progress:
We received both, our 3DS and the GW package on friday (24th January), at the same evening I set up the GW cards correctly. (I used the 2.0b1, but it was automatically updated to b2 as I updated the EMUNAND to 7.1.)
2 days the 3DS was working without any problems. Our blue card was used once at the 24th to install the GW Mode.
Since this time we stayed in GW Mode and played "Mario Kart 7 EUR", my wife got borred from this game and so we decided to change the game on the red card.
So we ejected the red card, our 3DS was on and in GW Mode. I copied "Donkey Kong Country returns" via the SD IMAGE programm like Mario Kart before.
I inserted the red card (3DS still alive in GW Mode) and boom... we got the blue screen with Errorcode 8046. Since that, our 3DS is dead.
Here are some pics:

We are upset
and can't understand why they made this....
We have the luck that our dealer changed our unit yesterday. Now we got a brand new device with firmware 4.4. but are still afraid of using the "original" GW cards again.
This is our story...
sad but true
