You don't.
You need to be able to run the cart to update it. If your 3DS can't run the cart, then you can't update the cart on that 3DS.

Hello
I have the same exact problem, I think
I had a perfectly running R4i Gold 3DS running on my blue DSi.... the DSi had to be sent in for repair and they sent me back a brand new DSi running 1.4.4. The repair was an unforeseen circumstance and I never thought to update the software previously...
now my DSi will not boot up the cart... gives me the error to hold down the power button. I am assuming this is because I never updated the kernal or firmware of the card to support the 1.44 patch prior
now I am stuck with a brand new DSi and a working flash cart with outdated software....
is my only option right now to either wait for a patch, buy another card preloaded with 1.4.4 support, or find another DS????? Thanks in advance. this is for my little sister, really, so it's killing me that she can't play games right now

Even if there is a patch, you need to run the cart to update it, so you are in the same situation as the first guy.
You will need to use another DS that actually runs the cart in order to update it.
If that's not an option for whatever reason (live in the middle of nowhere, etc.) then yeah, you could just get another cart pre-updated. The DSTwo and R4i Gold (from R4iDS.CN, pay attention to the site on the cart/box, it's extremely important) will work fine.

here is the guide for you Tutorial: How to update R4i gold 3ds card for 3DS V4.3.0-10 and DSi V1.44 here is one place to get a preflashed card: http://www.dsflashcart.com/ have checked game4deal, they are a wholesale site, you need to buy at least 10 cards everytime.
update: got my hands on a ds lite... turns out its my card that is outdated... i have the one with the meet the robinsons logo and according to the r4 website, only supports up to 1.4.1 kinda sucks..... do I need to buy a new card or was I reading that incorrectly??
edit****** I think I made a mistake when trying to upgrade my card by not taking out the card and putting it back in the ds lite before hitting the button, it kept giving me a fail error which lead me to believe my card was just simply old... now i don't have the ds because we had to give it back to her friend ugh

I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

Sicklyboy:
@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one -
@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@
The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -

do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files
) -

@The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)

when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying+1 -
