Quote from: "romman"Question:

    1. Please help me Romman !!! , I did FlashMe to NDS Lite for my customer by using SC+SuperPass2, normally when FlashMe shut down at any percent, I can press " A + B + Select + Start " to turn on NDS Lite again to start FlashMe until 100% complete. But for now, I found 2 NDS Lite which cannot turn on again after press " A + B + Select + Start ", so, NDS Lite cannot use anymore because don't show anything on screen (still have green light power). Please help me ... (flashme.nds is in root directory of Mini SD)

Solution:
  There is a method. You can use a NDS Lite which had been flashme. Just like fix BIOS on PC motherboard.
Example:
   A mean a good NDS Lite which had been flashme.
   B mean a bad NDS Lite which had been flashme fail.

   Step:
   1. Unplug the B.Bios from B. Unplug the A.Bios from A, and insert A.Bios to B.
   2. Open power of B. Run FlashMe program and waiting...
   3. Unplug the A.Bios from B, and insert B.Bios to B, keep power on.
   4. Press X B X B let FlashMe program continue.
   5. Yes. You fix the B.Bios now.

I can confirm this does work.  :D

If you don't have access to another NDSL . . .

NDSL recovery service + Supercard service + more

i also can confirm this works................................ of sorts.......................

i place the working bios in the "bricked" ds and it acts just liek it was flashed and fully happy :) but than it gets to the "enter XBXB" bit so i swap the workign bios for the "bricked" one, and i press x b x b, than for some god unknown reason it goes STRAIGHT to 100 as if it was flashed.......... so i switch it off and back on but lo and behold, nothign but the power light..... i cant flash the "bricked" bios, as it thinkis its flashed already......... woe is me :(

Interesting.  Try No-flashme first.

It doesn't matter.  You still have a good working BIOS to boot with.  The idea is to get Flashme v7 lite to start from scratch.

EDIT:
Also, boot with your pass through device.

chears bitblt, got it working a treat, used the standard no-flashme than installed the new firmware with my pass through, and the rest was as normal. Thanks for the help, i now have two fully working DSlites :D

I sold my Superkey and now i have to return my lite to the shop due to a crack in the left hinge  :cry:

We have a second ds lite wish is fine and flashed.  

Is it possible to use this trick, to flash a ds lite with an allready flashed one, but without a pass device? Is a pass device needed?

Thank you in advance for your help  :D

EDIT:
Yes, you can swap your V7 flashed BIOS to boot your new DS Lite and run FlashMe.  Swap back the original BIOS before you begin the Flashme program and short SL1.

Yes, you can swap your V7 flashed BIOS to boot your new DS Lite and start FlashMe.  Then swap back the original BIOS before you press X+B+X+B and short SL1.

Just did it, but it only works a little different:

- First boot the new (or bricked) DS Lite with the Flashed Bios chip into your flashcard menue
- then swap bios chips
- only now start Flashme:
                                    Press "Start"
                                    Press "X+B+X+B" and short SL1
- wait until it reaches 100%

If you start Flashme before you swap to the unflashed bios chip it will not recognise it, directly go to 100% without shorting SL1 and not flash the chip

Thank you very much

:D

Thank you for that correction.
