R4i SDHC fix is out

http://www.r4i-sdhc.com/downloade.asp


firmware update to update the actual cart!http://www.r4i-sdhc.com/fwup142.rar
english download v1.37b software http://www.r4i-sdhc.com/R4i%20V1.37b%20English.zip

From 02 Mar 2011, products labeled "3DS" full support all version N3DS console (include European version), please download V1.37b kernel.

Instructions

V1.4.2 hardware upgrade?
1. First, reformatting the SD,go to www.r4i-sdhc.com to download the latest kernel 1.37b.
2.Unzip and copy the files(R4iMenu,moonshl2,moonmemo,r4.DAT) to the root of MicroSD card.
3. Go to www.r4i-sdhc.com to download the dsi(1.42) upgrade package of purple r4i-sdhc.
Unzip and copy the files(fwup142.nds ) to the root of MicroSD card.
4. Insert MicroSD card into r4i-sdhc card, insert r4i-sdhc card into nds\dsl\dsi\dsill\dsixl
5.Turn on console and press "A" button to run the upgrade file fwup142.nds. Note:When upgrading the r4i-sdhc card, it is not allowed to turn off power or pull out r4i- sdhc,otherwise it will damage the r4i-sdhc card.

I have the R4i-SDHC card with the yellow 1.4 mark. According to the website, I should be able to upgrade the firmware. I keep getting an error. I've even tried formatting the card. Still doesn't work. Now what?

Have you run the 1.42 upgrade first? There are two files you need (the ones in my first post) also when are you encountering the error.Try upgrading the cart in a ds lite if you have one but either way it should work

I'm getting the error after I choose the upgrade option. The error says: "R4i-SDHC V1.42 update. The card currenty not support. We are working on it. Please power off now." I am trying to run the upgrade on a DSL.

update file for r4i-sdhc is for non-3DS and 3DS version?
On the site is only 1 file described as 1.4.1 upgrade

there is a thread about this here http://gbatemp.net/t292554-r4i-sdhc-work-o...1-4-2?&st=0

Unfortunately it seems to be working for some and not for others.Carts of this type are renowned for being unreliable and temperamental.But as i said it has worked for some so there must be a way to correctly update the cart.

@anyone who might be able to help me: could i try using the fix at http://www.r4ids.cn/ for my card http://www.r4igold.net (because my dsi was accidently updated to 1.4.2) since both are a r4i gold card looking exactly the same except for the webaddress (I guess both are clones of the original?)? Would trying to use that fix possibly brick my card or would it just not work if its not compatible? The update procedure as outlined at http://www.r4ids.cn/ is different for DSi and DSL..i only have a DSiXL (fw 1.4) available to patch the r4igold card..should using the DSi .nds patch work for a DSi XL too? Or what else could I do to make my 1.4.2 updated DSi work again with my R4i gold clone card which I got from http://www.r4igold.net ? If someone could answer all or at least some of these questions I would really appreciate it. I'm a noob in DS country. Thank you.

You may brick your cart but thats at your own risk!

After updating with success, R4ids Gold(Non-3DS) version can support 3DS and NDSi V1.4.2

Wait .. I didn't noticed that before today, I'm too slow

That mean the R4igold I got this December from Tempmass competition will become magically a 3DS cart?

 

[mollsybeth56]

If I have a dsi xl with the update, what is the best cart to get?

any of the ones confirmed working with 1.4.2 firmware but if you want to get dstti then wat a few days and we may have a fix for that too

 

[mollsybeth56]

Thanks, I will just wait for iedge update then.

 

[kelley28]

I got the same information as kelley28 too.

I sent an e-mail to the R4i-SDHC people and this is the reply I got:

QUOTEPls format the sd card and download the 1.37b kernel for your card.There is some problem with our update patch and we have deleted it from our website.

That normally means you have the wrong system menu DAT file,if your cart updated thats great you should be able to use it no problem,make sure you have the right kernel and you're set there was a problem with the sdhc update files and new links were put on the site,thats probably why your update wouldnt work before.

 

[Zekrom_cool]

Are there any working firmware updates for this updated version?
