You might want to add in instructions on how to test your NAND with No$GBA, so people can find some bricks before they have to find them on their DSi.

Do you know how?

Do you know how?

I am trying, but I keep getting Error: 1-2435-8325 when I boot my NAND in No$GBA. Probably something I am doing wrong with the endian-ness of my ConsoleID.

But how do you even boot your nand? I cant seem to find any guide or anything on it.

 

[JohnSmith41]

To boot your NAND, you need the DSi Footer Template, found at:
https://my.mixtape.moe/tswcip.bin
Open it with a hex editor, replace A with your CID, and B with your consoleID. Now, the console ID is intended to be stored in little endian, and the byte order is supposed to be swapped (so AB CD EF would be EF CD AB).
Take the now completed footer template and paste it on the bottom of your encrypted NAND, save it as DSi-1.mmc in the No$GBA directory, make sure you have the two DSi BIOS files in there as well.
Run No$GBA, go into options > emulation setup, change the Reset/Startup Entrypoint to GBA/NDS BIOS, change the NDS Mode/Colors to DSi (retail/16MB), and hit Save. Now load up a .nds, and you should boot into your NAND.

This is as far as I have gotten. When I try to boot, I get the Error: 1-2435-8325.
EDIT: I got it! I think I just entered in the ConsoleID wrong. My NAND booted successfully.

Yup Had the same error until I swapped the console ID like you said. Thanks

the downgrading guide work or not for 1.4.1 to 1.4 usa dsi ?

The guide should work fine on 1.4.1, but please test your finished NAND in No$GBA with my instructions above, before flashing to your DSi.

I will test soon nogba work on wine ubuntu

 

[TheMagicMan]

Did all the steps, but when I load the nand in NoGba, it still says it's 1.4.5

The same happened to me, I think that is intentional, although it would be nice if someone could confirm.

I don't think OSFMount works on Linux. There are ways to mount images using the command line, but I would suggest using a Windows VM to avoid possible bricks.

Right click → Mount image file

I would test it myself if I could, but I need to downgrade my DSi first and there's no Flipnote Studio hack for EUR consoles yet.

I wasn't aware you could do that in Ubuntu. Then again, I wanted to follow everything carefully, so I used Windows. Does it mount all 3 partitions, or just the main one?

It should mount all three partitions. If it doesn't then it should mount it as a loop device and then the partitions can be mounted using (GNOME) Disks.
I'll try it as soon as I find a way to dump my keys and NAND.

Is there going to be a hardmod section in case someone literally has nothing on their DSi?

i have furious mount image for linux is good ?

Wouldn't you still need to dump the required keys first?

 

[laharl22]

i have a bug with flipnote hax on the step for paste 122 times when i paste one time on the second frame it freeze

Do you have a 2222.nds and/or payload.dat file(s) on your SD card?

yes it freeze on the second frame when i paste only one time not 122

You did start pasting on the third slide, and then delete and paste on second, correct?

You can dump the CID with a copy of The Biggest Loser and a hacked save, but you need a DSiWare title to move onto the SD card to get the ConsoleID.
