Recently trying to update my firmware from 1.21 to the recent 1.34 but sadly every time I place it on the SDHC card it says LOADING then crashes to a black screen.
Been trying to read up on solution but so far nobody has had the exact same problem with the exact same card I have.
Help me please?

Here are the pictures of my card, to see if anyone knows:

That's odd, because it was http://www.r4sdhc.com/ on the box, but the firmware there doesn't work on it.
Does anybody else have the cart I have?

EDIT: I might have found out the problem; it could be an R4 Ultra.
Checking the firmware (perhaps it was badly packaged or clone of a clone).

FURTHER EDIT: Nope. The 1.56 R4Ultra firmware has the same problem as the 1.34 firmware for the R4SDHC.
Gets passed the LOADING screen and then just has two black screens.
Only the 1.21 firmware is working and it's been so long since I updated to that I can't remember how I got that one and which Card it was for.
Further assistance would be very appreciated.

Hmm, that's odd.
For some reason the only firmware working on mines is the one I originally downloaded and started with.
It works with most games too. Just not the really recent ones.
I'd just like to upgrade. :C

Did you made a backup of you card before erasing everything?

You could try that kernel : http://www.r4i-gold.com/en/download/Kernel...010/0514/8.html

If it does not work, then try using your original R4.dat file (place it at root of your card ( / ).
If it still does not work, try keeping your original files and just copy the new :
GAMEINFO.DAT
map.bin
savlib.dat
R4iLoader.dat (optionnal)

Yeah, I made a backup, it's what I'm using just now.
I'll try using these files and get back to you about it.
Thanks.

If it still does not work, give up on that for the moment and just use a dual boot method using YSMenu/DDSTT to play new games

Yeah, I do have YSMenu on it, I was just hoping mines would have been able to use the Pokémon Black fix.
Guess I'll just have to wait til after christmas.
DSTwo, ahoy!
