There's a patch under the kernel which you just updated the card with, but your cart must be revision C

The cartridge bust be revision C?or the update on the 3DS? How would I find out the cartridge revision?

cheers

The flashcart must be revision C, apart from opening the cart i dunno.

there is a little C on the back of the card on the actual cart itself (the red part) ... also there are certain revCs that cannot be updated for 4.5.10 at the moment

if your card has the Metroid icon, you cannot update it....

Guys, he updated his 3DS to 4.5.0 and copied Wood R4 to the SD card. He needs to upgrade the carts firmware, not the kernel (Wood R4) in order to maintain compatibility with 4.5.0 3DS update. The OP only copied the Kernel, he didn't touch the firmware at all.

@OP, sorry to sound pessimist, but you're SOL, unless you have access to a DS or DS Lite to upgrade the carts firmware on that.

How would I do that using a DS (does this include DSi0? I followed the link on this forum to buy the card as well. Obviously not keeping the information up to date, I feel well and truly ripped off.

The thing is you should never update your console before updating your cart.

I dont understand what ive done wrong. On the website it says it will work with 4.5.0.10 and it obviously doesn't. I only got the card a week or 2 ago so should be up to date from what I gather.

Am I putting the files on right? How can I tell what firmware is on the card?

Also I opened the cart and it is revision C

The cart needs to be updated with the update, the update is need because Nintendo updated the 3DS firmware, so if you updated the cart before updating the firmware then you wouldn't be in this situation.

The same applies to all flashcarts.

have you used it before you updated. apparently there are 2 different revision "C" carts. one that has the "Deep Labyrinth" icon that one is usable on 4.5 3ds & "dorasu" icon carts have not yet been fully updated.

If you have access to a DS phat or DS Lite, all you have to do is copy the firmware files to the SD card and run the NDSL file, not the NDSi file, on your DS and update the cart. If you're lucky, you'll have the compatible revision C cart which can be successfully flashed and your cart will work on your updated 3DS again.

Also I opened the cart and it is revision C

before you boot the cart what game does it show up as
if it is recently purchased it can be 1 of 4 different games

you have to always update the firmware on a card before you update the console
the site says its working on that revision because there is an update you have to do
Updating consists of running an update as you would a game and this obviously has to be done as you cant boot the card if its not updated to suit the revision
if your card is as new as you say id expect it to be a "Kirby" game header

to update your card now you need a console you can boot it in to run the update file
once the card has been updated it will run on your console you updated

Sounds like I have been had then, the cart got shipped with the metroid logo.

you havent been had... but you made the noob mistake of updating the console before updating the cart

doh, would it be better just to get a new cartridge then? Nothing has been this complicated before with modding I have done in the past. How would I update the cart usually if I had not updated the 3ds?

if u hadnt updated, u place the updated firmware on the sd card, launch the card, then launch the update file, update
atm, there is no update for Metroid revC cart anyways

if u get a diff cart, just get a Supercard

so this site raves about this card but really its crap, waste of time and money reading the post in the sticky. The advice here has been much more useful. Have you got a link for a reputable supercard seller?

i bought the supercard from realhotstuff.com , it is 2x as much as say an r4i, but its worth it, as being one of the few cards that are compatible with the latest firmware, release stuff relatively fast, and also Eos is decent (although i like WOOD better)
