This flashcart model also isn't supported. The only one made by
http://www.r4infinity.com that is the
Infinity 3 R4i. It's the one that's at the 2nd row, 5th column in this
ntrboot list image.
You can try to restore the cart with one of these flashroms found at
Sección V - Quitar ntrboot (
Section V - Removing ntrboot).

If USD $20 is affordable to you and you have the patience to wait up to a 1 month (maybe even longer due to Coronavirus), go with the
R4i Gold 3DS Plus. It has a dual mode switch that changes between DS mode and ntrboot mode. Also, it has no
time bomb (
YS Menu).
So, I have new info that might be useful for adding to the guides or something. Turns out that the flashcart in the quoted post does work with NTRBoot
using the 3DS Multisystem method, can be used to install CFW to a Nintendo 3DS and can be then restored to its normal functioning. I'll explain this further:
- I had two of these carts and I intended to use one to apply the ntrboot method to my 3DS which has the touchscreen issue.
- I went for the single system method as I recalled these R4 Infinity Dual Core flashcarts were some kind of bootleg (sorry if it's not the right word) R4iSDHC Dual-Core, which is a cart in the compatibility list.
- I put the ntrboot_flasher_nds.nds in the cart's SD and opened it. However, this version of the flasher does not support the Dual-Core carts, which I didn't know. Thinking it should be the "R4i Gold 3DS" option (since it mentioned another Infinity card, the Infinity 3), I went with that one and it said "flashcart setup failed".
- Then, as the guides said it should take you to the "Inject firm, dump flash, ..." menu, I thought to try some of the options to see if one of those was compatible and showed the options (I know, that was dumb). All of those threw the same "setup failed" error until I reached the Ace3DS+ option, in which the system froze for a long while. That's when I decided to turn off my console (force turn off, because regular turn off didn't work) and remove the cart. After powering up again, the cart was dead.
I had tried the 3DS Mutisystem option to revive the bricked R4 since I noticed the Luma version of ntrboot_flasher it had more cart options, including the dual core one, but it didn't work as it said my cart was not compatible. After the previous posts and a long while of trying to revive the damaged cart using the other one I had, I found that those R4 Infinity Dual Core carts are effectively "bootleg" R4iSDHC Dual-Core carts, since the firmware and kernel files are the same in both. So, I took the risk and inserted my other R4 (the working one) in my other 3DS (the one with boot9strap in which I tried the multisystem option) and opened the Luma version of ntrboot_flasher:
- I went to the Dual Core cart option and it did open the "Inject ntrboot, Dump flash, Restore flash, ..." menu, unlike with the bricked R4.
- I dumped the flash and injected ntrboot.
- Went with the 3DS multisystem ntr guide using that cart and it worked.
- Restored the flash with the Luma ntrboot_flasher.
- The cart came back to normal functioning and CFW was installed in the 3DS with the touchscreen issue.
So, as you can see, the Luma version of ntrboot_flasher does work with these carts, as they are practically R4iSDHC Dual-Core carts. And the one I bricked was because of misusing the .nds version of ntrboot_flasher.
I will now continue with the process to fix the touchscreen issue in the 3DS console.
Thanks.
