My GBA carts stopped working,even original games were freezing at the Gameboy Logo after flashing with Flashme V7. It wasnt immediate so I tried flashing what I thought was Ver 6 and dont really know if you can even reverse flash something and I wasnt shorting SL1,didnt think I had to and sure enough it stopped so I grabbed something quick and shorting and it started to continue and then the nightmare happened,power went off,by itself and I had the power adapter plugged in and then I rebooted and got black screens. Rebooted held down A+B+Y+X and got a message,I forget what it said,but tried that a few times and then the worst happened,hit the power button and then nothing,no power to my DS...it was bricked. Luckily its still under waranty and I went to Nintendos website and checked my serial and it is still good till December. I am wondering if they will still replace it or not if they can tell the firmware was flashed. Has anyone tired this yet??
-
While flashing it does void the warrenty you could just send it to them and say it just stopped working for no reason. I think they just send a replacement instead of fixing it.
-
Yeah, I believe you need to make it to 100% while flashing, in order to initiate the recovery mode (a+b+start+select).
Sounds like you had some bad luck...

I definitley am not mentioning or have mentioned anything about flashing. I figure they'll just replace it. If they cant power it on its highly doubtfull they would able to tell it was flashed. I am sending it off tomorrow,Nintendo even sent me the UPS shipping label,I probably wont see my replacement for another 2 weeks,so I guess I will be on hold for anymore experimenting for now. I have to admit though that Nintendo has a good warranty plan and set up going on,all of their Warranties are good for 1 year. You can just run your serial number at their official site,unless you know you have had it more than a year. I bought mine at Best Buy back in December and that is when the warranty ends in 06 according to Nintendo's Website....hmm...I wonder how they know when it was purchased....or maybe it was made and then shipped in that month...
-
lol bad luck with that and hope you get your new one.
Any way my friend "Tryed" to make a power adapter for his GBA.
it worked the first time and then the second time it wouldent boot.
He took it back to the store.
If they find out that you did flash it ask for it back and take it back to the store.
-
question is.. will you get a DS-lite as the replacement.. cause if you do, I might.. uhm.. try to.. "re-flash" my DS too ::sm-05::

Yeah,I couldnt find my receipt,but still probably could have tried. I'll give it a shot if this doesnt work.

Does anyone know what series of characters for the serial numbers start as?? My new DS I will be getting tomorrow via UPS starts as NU900 and the one I sent starts as NU109 ?? I wonder if they are sending me an older refurbished one (more than likely) or a newer one which might be the DS lite???

According to the dspasme site, NU900 are serials reported for 2005 models. Yeah, it would be great if it were a ds lite, but I don't think you will be so lucky :D

No, WifiMe is incompatible with new ds firmware.... See www.dspassme.com
You generally need a passme2 device and a cart with SRAM to install flashme V.7

I have the "1 GIG" version.....

This is straight from www.dspassme.com
What is WiFiMe? - WiFiMe is an application that allows you to run homebrew code from a GBA Flash cart using a specific wireless card and special drivers. It does the exact same thing PassMe does using the "DS Download Play" feature. NOTE: WiFiMe DOES NOT work with new DS firmware.
Right after this, there is a link explainihg how to basically set up WIFiMe and get it working on a compatible ds...

-
It is not compatible now...LOL... ??? Read the thread.....
-
You guys must think I am ****in retarded.....I have had the the NEO POWER kit for at least 6 months before this ever happened...

shark,
Unfortunately, you can not flash a new bios without a method of bypassing your current bios.
This means you WILL need a passme2 device, authentic ds game, and your current flash card.
order a passme2, and specify which game you have: http://www.dspassme.com/oscommerce/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=52&osCsid=bdc8648acffdd0b8cbe0510a0651f520
write this file to your flash cart:
http://www.ndshb.com/cgi-bin/cfiles/cfiles.cgi?0,1,0,0,10,74
(yes it is version 6 of the bios, but it is the easiest option, you can upgrade to version 7 later)
put your game into the passme2, put the passme2 into the ds, put the flash cart into the ds. turn it on. Select the game you have inserted into the passme2. reboot, the firmware patch should come up automatically. Flash it properly this time. You can decide if you would like to upgrade to 7, just remember, that you will need to short sl1 when you upgrade to 7.
I have a red '05 ds. this is the procedure that I used.

Thanks,I have ordered a Flashme 2 and should be getting it this week sometime hopefully. So my NEO Flash cart will work. I'll read the instructions you linked me to. Thanks
-
Or you can use the SRAM files on Darkfader's site and install flashme version 7 directly...
Procedure is outlined in FAQ (see Requirement #2)
