Hacking R4i SDHC

[grandpasghost]

Okay it appears there's about a zillion variations of this card, but just to be clear, its the R4i SDHC, the ones made before the newer ones that show 1.4 or 1.41 graphics on the card.

For the some fudged up reason, I upgraded firmware the day before the R4i SDHC arrived. It was rendered useless.
A year or more later im back on the forums to see if they ever fixed it.

Can I use another DS to load the R4i and then update firmware, and then try it on my DSi, and have it work?
Does anyone know if the 1.09d Update (http://www.r4i-sdhc.com/downloade.asp) fixed the incompatibility with 1.4 DSI's?

Thanks, ive been away from the from the scene for a year and hoped by now they had a solution

I have no idea what you wrote, so confusing....

Okay,what firmware is your DSi?

 

[grandpasghost]

I have 1.4, that was the deadly firmware update that rendered the R4i useless the day before it arrived on my doorstep.

I was proposing to use another DS to operate the R4i and do the firmware upgrade on the R4i IF it fixed the 1.4 incompatibility.

no, afaik those kinds of r4's never get firmware updates, you just have to buy a new card (better still a good one from shoptemp ie acekard or dstwo)

This thread says R4i SDHC's work with 1.4.1, which I assume works on 1.4, but I don't know if there are different kinds of R4i SDHC's.

Have you done any research to see if those cards can be updated?

who? me
yes, know you can't update them like acekards do or any other decent card
there are r4i SDHC's that either work on the 1.4 and those that work with 1.4.1 (soz for not being clear)

QUOTEFrom 23 Sep 2010, products labeled “V1.4.1” support NDSI V1.4.1

Products labeled “V1.4” do not support NDSI V1.4.1

No not you Dter, should have quoted him, sorry.

But wait, you have an R4i SDHC that works on V 1.4 dsi's, which is what your DSi is right? Then... whats the problem?

I'm re-reading this, but that's what Im understanding...

 

[grandpasghost]

I have the R4i SDHC that was made before the R4i SDHC's that had 1.4 stamped on em, and 1.41
Therefore it only support 1.3, when i updated to 1.4 it didnt work.

The only thing that gave me a glimmer of hope was this site
http://www.r4i-sdhc.com/downloade.asp

That showed mine on the bottom with new firmware.

to clarify

he has a r4 SDHC that is only compatible with 1.4
he has a dsi which has been updated to 1.4.1

see the problem?

okay then yeah, you're fucked. You're going to have to get a whole new card all together unless I'm wrong. You should get the Acekard as it's cheap, but the second best card available.

You can also give this a read see if it helps, not sure if it does though:
