Version 1.0J DSi

[devxnnnnn]

i just purchased a Japanese DSi on version 1.0J. the thing unfortunately has been pretty much locked up with parental controls, & i cannot reset it using Nintendo's master key system or any other master key systems. I've been provided with the same master key from several different tools & Nintendo themselves & it simply doesn't work on the system. I have Twilight Menu++ installed on it as well. is there anything i can do to remove parental controls ?

Yessir. Both websites provide me with the exact same code & that code doesn't work. Nintendo themselves also tried giving me that same code through support, then told me they couldn't do anything else for me when I told them that key doesn't work. I think master keys only work on DSi's running Version 1.1 or later which pretty much nullifies any shot I have at using master key unlocks.

What about updating the FW? Are you unable to do so, because of Parental Controls?

Yeah, it's just not possible unfortunately. Parental controls block almost everything

Would you really want to update a console on 1.0? Doesn't sound like a good idea.

No idea if initial setup works on HiyaCFW, but worth a try (I would not want to write to NAND like randomly deleting files not knowing what I'm doing, so this would be my first step).

At some location the pin must be stored. Maybe the current pin can be extracted with a hexeditor?
