DS Flash Equipment > Bricked DS lite / flashmev8 / m3 lite slot 2

#146446 - another world - Tue Dec 04, 2007 8:52 am

Hello everyone,
I have been poking around the net and various forums (including this one) for the past few hours. I can not seem to find a clear set of directions to fix my problem. Please read on and post back if you can help me out =).

I have a friends DS Lite which he flashed with flashmev8 (I'm pretty sure) a brief while ago using a borrowed flash kit. I own a m3 lite slot 2 kit and an r4 slot 1. His DS is bricked do to running some lame app he dled off some random site (already slapped him for it). I want to reinstall flashme8 but I am unsure how.

My issues are:
1) I read that you can not install flashme from a m3 lite flash card... please tell me this is not true.
2) What exactly do I have to do and what should I see while I'm doing it.

I personally do not have my DS flashed so I'm unsure what steps to take to reflash his and exactly what to do.

Thanks for reading.

If it's V8, you should be able to recover using the R4.. But here is my guide to Flashme on DS-Lite and there is recovery information available at the bottom. I believe there is more recovery information at the bottom of the one for the original as well.

linx:
thanks for the links i gave them a quick once over. i mentioned to my buddy about using my r4/v8 to fix the issue and he said it might have been v7a or something that he installed. yeah he just got another slap, and this one hurt because i can still see the red mark.

i'm the type of person that likes to know exactly what is going to happen before it happens. i'm assuming then that i can use my m3 lite with v7 of flashme. as i read i'm just going to use the slot2 card with nothing in slot1. is it as simple has just reinstalling it? do i have to bridge the l1 for this? i'm unclear and i don't want to make any moves until i know where i'm heading first.

thanks for your help!
