hello everyone, I hope you can help me.I wanted to reuse an old fake 2013 r4 sdhc on a nintendo ds lite, I tried a lot of firmware and I was getting the message of infinite loading then I found the firmware of my r4 (I state that it is that of spongebob) I put it and instead of the infinite loading I check the white screen, help me please!

ds lite should not have any protection (only dsi/2ds/3dses go updates...
2 things to try:
  • setting date back of your ds some fake cards use a timebomb in the code witch make it not function past a year or five after being sold.
  • charge the ds full
Give us pictures front and rear (with shell and whithout it shell) of the clone card, for we might have a wood or so that would function with it.

Go back to the previous version of the kernel that was working for you.

Or use WOODR4 instead which is a kernel designed to work with fake R4 cards. If WOOD4 doesn't work, change the date to somewhere around 2010.

you must understand that this card i stopped using it in 2013 and i am not using the same sd card as then, and i had stopped using it until today, only now i am trying to reconfigure it from scratch

Try one of these: https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/flashcard-archive/tree/main/files/r4isdhc.com

- formatting your card in "fat32, 32kb allocation size
- your sd card is corrupted, use another one
- set back your ds lite to 2010/11
- clean you contacts fom your r4 and ds lite

If it still doesn't work, your card is maybe broken.
nothing works of what you advised me, I know for sure that the r4 works because this problem occurred after resetting the micro sd which obviously is not the same one I am using then,one thing i noticed though is that when you change sd card the loading remains infinite while with this sd card,just a white screen, i'm going crazy, i think it's about finding the right firmware

Most R4 cards stop working after a few years because the manufactures creating cards with limited time software. (timebomb)

i had the excact same card a few years back, clean the contacts with alcohol and put thin layer of plastic to the back of the card, and use the firmware with the white screen. the contacts are a weak point of this card.
it shouldn't have a timebomb on it (mine worked 3 years ago with the firmware icon you described).
ysmenu should work great with it: https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-install-ysmenu-woodr4-on-r4i-sdhc-3ds-rts.470619/
ooohhh almost forgot, copy your roms and firmware first, remove all dirt files (like .nfo files and so on) repartition the SD-card to fat16 or fat32 (i forgot which it was) now put all files back on your SD-card.
