I haven't been able to follow this thread as tightly as I was before. I've been busy harassing the Ace3DS team instead.I can tell by the file size that it didn't work
I can only do so much harassing.
I flashed the R4i B9S image to my SDHC 2016 cart so it's possible.

Are you sure that card has flash memory and not ROM chip? And does trying to dump the image a second time give the same file size? I think it should be 2MB if fully dumped.

Ok, so does that mean a non-B9S card can be flashed with ntrboot now? And is it reversible without having CFW beforehand?
The non-B9S cards have to have the B9S card's backup flashed to them. I don't know if it's reversible without CFW though, it would depend on if there's a version of NTRBoot flasher that can work on stock systems.

It comes up as 2MB on my end, so I dumped it again and upped that straight to filetrip

I personally wouldn't buy from r4i-sdhc their cards always have a "time bomb" where they expire after a period of time with their DS mode flashcards which seems too sketchy imo it just turns me off from even bothering to buy from them again i wouldn't even be surprised if this new card also has some type of time bomb as well.

There are a couple different versions of the flasher in the thread. There's one with a post specifying it ignored checking for a matchig NOR. Try using that one if you haven't already.Weird, I backed it through the flasher posted in this thread
I am finding like 3 different results in 2 different threads, please help me out here and quote the right post(s)
I think my cart is the issue.
I restored the backup from this thread and said that it "Restored successfully." But dumping a new backup after restoring the previous one only resulted in a backup made up of "FF"
I've got the R4i 3DS WiFi RTS (not the R4i B9S) but I've restored mine back and fourth a couple of times now, just to keep things simple I made a zip (preserving paths) containing three versions of the restore procedure:
- Restoring to/as R4i 3DS WiFi RTS (my backup.bin and @AngelSL ntrboot_flasher with additional nor sanity checks removed if your nor is trashed/bricked)
- Restoring to/as R4i B9S in nds mode (@pandavova nds backup.bin and @AngelSL ntrboot_flasher with additional nor sanity checks removed if your nor is trashed/bricked)
- Restoring to/as R4i B9S in ntrboot mode (@pandavova ntrboot backup.bin and @AngelSL ntrboot_flasher with additional nor sanity checks removed if your nor is trashed/bricked)
I don't know how to make it any easier
One gotcha here is that (at least for me) there are only 7 chunks restored, and when restored to/as R4i B9S ntrboot the cart is not registering as inserted if your device is booted "normally", but loads up as it should using sleep/magnet. When restored as R4i 3DS WiFi RTS or R4i B9S nds it should register (at least for me) as Bomberman*
The zip is larger than 2mb so I couldn't upload it, here is a link
Yeah my cart looks like the issue. I restored those and got backups with "FF" again.I've got the R4i 3DS WiFi RTS (not the R4i B9S) but I've restored mine back and fourth a couple of times now, just to keep things simple I made a zip (preserving paths) containing three versions of the restore procedure:

My cart is the "NDS" version of the cart, although it is using the Bomberman header
That is something older I guess... if someone having the same cart (stock) could dump their flash (using the ntrboot_flasher builds from this thread) then you could try restoring that instead?
Unless there are some other differencies between that cart and the R4i B9S/R4i 3DS WiFi RTS? Perhaps @Kitlith et. al. knows more about that?
