I never got around to removing NTRboot after modding the 3DS, so I decided to follow the steps from the hacks guide to remove it. Once I selected my flashcart type, I get the message "your flashcart is not supported". i have an R4 SDHC GOLD Pro 2020, and not sure why it's saying this. The original website where I got the firmware is gone, so I'm lost now...

If you could, upload photos of the front and the rear of the cartridge please. It will help us find the correct firmware for the card.

Besides that, make sure NTRBoot Flasher is installed and supports your flash card.

Here you go. And how do I check if it's still installed? I thought since it doesn't pop up on the home menu when inserted, it means it's still installed.

What are the contents of the microSD card in the R4?

Original firmware can be downloaded here from the wayback machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20201125165450/http://www.r4isdhc.com/2014-r4isdhc-gold-pro/

Direct link (in English): https://web.archive.org/web/20201125165450/http://www.r4isdhc.com/KerneDownload/R4i-V4.0b English.zip

To check if it is still installed, place the flashcard in the 3DS. Use a magnet to find the spot near the A/B/X/Y buttons that puts your 3DS in sleep mode. Make a note of that. Power off the 3DS, place a magnet in the spot to sleep the 3DS, and then hold Start, Select, X, and Power for about 5 seconds and release it. If NTRBoot Flasher boots instead of the 3DS home screen, it is still flashed for NTRBoot.

If it is still setup to use to install NTRBoot, use this to remove it. Specifically the "Removing ntrboot" section: https://3ds.hacks.guide/installing-boot9strap-(ntrboot)

Yeah nah, it boots to the home screen.
Also here are the files

EDIT: So, I finally got it to work. I had to set the CTR no time offset back to 0. My flashcart was "timebombed" from what I researched.
