It's an American DSi.

Wierd, I'm using the same build and works fine for me.

Maybe it's the version of Four Swords I'm using, but the weird thing is that it worked on my N3DS when I tested it out.

Did you tested it on DSi before installing the hax?

Four Swords with the original save without the hax boots fine!

I finally got it to work using Apache's build!

Be warned in trying to downgrade through ugopwn and twtool. I now have a super handy paper weight now, even though I followed all instructions perfectly. Guess im gonna have to be late to the modding scene again...

fwtool isn't a user friendly application- this is exactly why RocketLauncher isn't out yet.

 

[incidentallyscribble]

Everyone is complaining about how RocketLauncher is practically release ready, etc., but the real reason it's delayed like how it is, is simply that there needs to be something safer than FWTool before anything else happens. If they release it now but 30% of people brick (let's be honest, a majority of users are on 1.4.5), then that's not good. So personally I would rather wait than brick.

Yeah I shoulda definitely waited. now I gotta go waste more money I dont have

Sorry for you, at least dsis are cheap nowadays.

Thats true, but the $40 that I could use for a new dsi, could go to a gram of well needed dabs instead hahaha

Nah, a new dsi is better.

Did you at least make a NAND backup?

Yeah, Ive got my backup thank god. The only part I messed up at was reinjecting after I encrypted it. Now I just get a black screen on boot

Hardmod can save you, next time check your nand with no$gba before flashing. Also remove the footer from nand image after testing.

Fuck I shoulda came here first to learn about the no$gba check

 

[reprep]

Yup, also use this fork of fwtool, it has 2 extra safety checks. https://github.com/Nuck-TH/fwTool/releases

 

[Bryguy5849]

Id be willing to send off my dsi if anybody has the hankering to fix it. I dont feel comfortable soldering :/

Has it been tested?

 

[CatmanFan]

Has it been tested?

No. "It is not through tested, so use at you own risk!"

 

[reprep]

Same fwtool with nand size and decrypted nand check added. And yes some people used it. Still better if you have hardmod, this is an advanced tool. Know what you are doing and always use no$gba to test your nand.
