R4i Gold 3DS Rev 7 (www.r4ids.cn)

I've dumped and flashed ntrboot but when I try to run it on my other 3ds it won't boot into safeboot. But when I try the ntrboot flasher 3.0 it says that flashcart is not supported

From my initial examination, that looks to be identical to rev6:

https://github.com/kitling/flashcart_core/issues/9#issuecomment-325106067 ntr_blowfish_retail = 0x0 (plain) b9s_payload = 0x80000 (enc) b9s_header = 0x1FFE00 (enc) enc = same memecrypto as latest r4ids.cn versions

Your backup.bin also has ntrboot injected for the latest r4igoldcn versions (i.e. b9s header at EE00), which of course won't work in your case. Hope you have a clean backup somewhere before you attempted to flash it (might be able to use a clean rev6 if you're lucky).

No unfortunately I can't seem to find my clean backup...so I guess that mean I'm screwed

Leadger69 avatar Oct 09 '17 21:10 Leadger69

You should still be able to flash ntrboot provided we can figure out your card. Just going back to running your card as a DS flashcard MIGHT be off the table. Read that last sentence of the OP.

I'll try to make a backup.bin later for you to test as an ntrboot card if you're willing.

zoogie avatar Oct 09 '17 22:10 zoogie

I'll test anything..i don't mind

Leadger69 avatar Oct 09 '17 22:10 Leadger69

backup.zip

Alright, try that. Just put the file in sdmc://ntrboot/ and select "restore flash" with the following tool: http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=00664373029281777476 Don't choose "inject ntrboot" under any circumstance and make sure to name your payload ntrboot.firm

zoogie avatar Oct 09 '17 23:10 zoogie

It detected it fine as r4i gold 3ds and backed up fine as well..but it doesn't load as a ds flashcart

Leadger69 avatar Oct 10 '17 00:10 Leadger69

@Leadger69 - that backup.bin was intended to be an ntrboot enabling flash, not a DS flashcard restoration. The icon will show up as blank on home menu and it will not launch DS flashcard mode -- ntrboot disables that.

zoogie avatar Oct 10 '17 00:10 zoogie

Sorry my bad...but it still didn't work no safeboot

Leadger69 avatar Oct 10 '17 00:10 Leadger69

Ok, try this one: backup.zip

Same directions as the last one.

zoogie avatar Oct 10 '17 00:10 zoogie

nope still no boot

Leadger69 avatar Oct 10 '17 00:10 Leadger69

What exactly is happening? Is the system turning off, booting to home menu etc. Did you rename safeb9sinstaller.firm (or some other payload firm) to ntrboot.firm and to do the correctkey combination + magnet?

Anyway, if you did all that and still no luck, you could try restoring DS flashcard compat by reflashing this. http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=04706518342023310360 Let me know if you get some icon and if it boots (you will need a hacked 3ds or maybe dsi to boot it).

zoogie avatar Oct 10 '17 00:10 zoogie

it stays off untill i move the magnet then boots home screen.also does the sd card need to be in the flashcart and I thought that you rename the safe.firm to boot.firm

Leadger69 avatar Oct 10 '17 01:10 Leadger69

No, you need to rename safeb9sinstaller.firm to ntrboot.firm as I said above. The microsd does not need to be inside the flashcard for ntrboot. The 3ds system itself needs an sd card of course.

zoogie avatar Oct 10 '17 03:10 zoogie

Sorry for the no response I was at work I tried all the things in the op but still no safe boot..so I tried the other file and now the card is back to normal with screen and boot like a regular d's flash cart on my backed 3ds

Leadger69 avatar Oct 10 '17 19:10 Leadger69

Well that's certainly good news. At least we know that rev6 and rev7 should be essentially identical. Sorry we couldn't get ntrboot to work on your rev7, but we'll keep trying.

zoogie avatar Oct 10 '17 19:10 zoogie

well at least I'm helping to figure stuff out

Leadger69 avatar Oct 10 '17 19:10 Leadger69

Any progress yet

Leadger69 avatar Oct 13 '17 20:10 Leadger69

@Leadger69 please flash https://github.com/kitling/flashcart_core/issues/75#issuecomment-335318958 again.

boot with the ntrboot combo, then immediately run godmode9 and dump MEMORY VIRTUAL -> arm9.bin. should be a 1MB file. Upload that please.

It's really difficult for me to debug this without having the cart on hand.

zoogie avatar Oct 14 '17 00:10 zoogie

Sorry but what do you mean by ntrboot combo

Leadger69 avatar Oct 14 '17 10:10 Leadger69

Sleep + Start + Select + X then press and hold power

zoogie avatar Oct 14 '17 11:10 zoogie

Try and use this version of godmode9 https://github.com/d0k3/GodMode9/releases/download/v1.2.8/GodMode9-20170729-114727.zip

rename it to boot.firm and put it on the sd card

zoogie avatar Oct 14 '17 11:10 zoogie

Oh so do that on my stock 3ds then put the flash card back into my cfw 3ds and dump the arm9.bin

Leadger69 avatar Oct 14 '17 11:10 Leadger69

No everything needs to be done on the cfw one.

zoogie avatar Oct 14 '17 11:10 zoogie

there is a arm9.mem but no arm9.bin

Leadger69 avatar Oct 14 '17 11:10 Leadger69

yeah it's arm9.mem forgot

zoogie avatar Oct 14 '17 11:10 zoogie

https://ufile.io/nm2r0 there you go

Leadger69 avatar Oct 14 '17 11:10 Leadger69

Alright, I've got to go to bed but I'll look at it later today and get back with you.

zoogie avatar Oct 14 '17 11:10 zoogie

Sounds I'm gone to bed too night shift

Leadger69 avatar Oct 14 '17 12:10 Leadger69

@Leadger69 it looks like you don't have any ds card inserted :/ No trace of a header anywhere.

Did you

  1. restore the backup.bin I mentioned above. https://github.com/kitling/flashcart_core/files/1370192/backup.zip
  2. Rename that particular godmode9 I linked to boot.firm and put it on the sd card root. https://github.com/d0k3/GodMode9/releases/download/v1.2.8/GodMode9-20170729-114727.zip
  3. insert your r4iGold into the system.
  4. ntrboot into godmode9 and dump arm9.mem.

The only other issue I can think of is contact issues. Make sure the contacts are clean and a dump doesn't read zero's or whatever.

zoogie avatar Oct 15 '17 11:10 zoogie

https://ufile.io/1ap9r how about this one I think the magnet was in the wrong place
