Hacking R4i Gold 3DS+ showing white screen on 3DS

[CompassNorth]

Hey everyone,

So I have an issue with my R4i Gold 3ds+, when in flashcart/DS mode I get nothing but a white screen.
I've download Wood R4 from the official site.
I've reformatted my card and installed wood R4.
I've tried different SD cards

Works fine with NTRBoot mode, DS mode still shows a white screen

My 3DS is on 11.9.42U

Anything else I can do before I buy a new card?

Did u try to change the SD card and setup the kernel again on other SD?

Thanks, but don't think this will help as DS functionaility works and the OP refused saying how he fixed his issue, just linked to a page.

He used the ntrboot uninstaller section on 3ds.guide,if u flashed with another method instead of the N/D mode this kind of flashcard,it'll result on white screen on Ds mode(it was a common problem when this flashcard was released,cuz some people didn't know about the N/Ds functionality),if this isn't ur case,maybe follow the steps that the user above wrote help u or if u already have the CFW installed,try to use the ndsi/nds guide to fix broken loadings on ds games
Edit: the ntrboot uninstall guide requires CFW on ur 3ds too

Open the official website R4ids download page, Don't use the other stuff you downloaded, they're for a different card.Try the second one.
"WOOD R4 V1.64 Released. (2013-11-08)"

This is the one I've been using, not sure why you're implying I've been using the wrong one.

if u flashed with another method instead of the N/D mode this kind of flashcard

I've never flashed NTRboot to the DS mode, I just slide the switch, just started to give me a white screen after not using it for months.

Guess I'll just buy a new flash cart.

Some of the cards had built-in expiration. Idk if that's the case with that card.

Edit: Supposedly, there is no timebomb:
