Listen, if you can't exchange it at the store you don't necessarily want to get a new one. I had the exact same problem with my g6 (couldn't boot flashme on it after flashme was installed). Seems it's something g6lite can't do.Originally Posted by _stryder_
So I used my M3 and it worked. If you can find someone with a diff. flashcard try that, if not, it may be cheaper to get a M3 or other flashcard rather than a new DS
Thats a very good point! thanks for your advice.
Im gonna try and exchange it tmrw, failing that, i'll get hold of an M3.
Thanks man!
actually you might just be able to temporarily downgrade your g6's FW (like pre-touchpod) or something old.
if that dosen't work, i wouldn't go w/ m3 unless you already have a cf or sd card, those things are so flipping expensive and you already have a g6, i'm sure supercard can do it and they're like what? 30$?
btw, when i first had my DS flashed, the first time i tried booting the g6 in the DS and it didn't go. Then I put my m3 and and tried running noflashme (for some stupid reason i thought that maybe flashme only worked on the card it flashed from) eventually i gave up on that tho because i couldn't unflash and just stuck the g6 back in and it worked. so don't freak out if it dosen't work the first time

Thanks for all your help.
I managed to exchange my DSlite today so problem solved for now!! think ill stick to my passcard3 and G6lite for now!! leave flashme alone for the time being!!
Turns out my G6 was nicely corrupted so prpbably using another flash card would have worked!
Thanks everyone!
Well, if you have the Passcard v3 then you're good to go.
Unfortunately, until you get your DS Lite flashed with FlashMe v7 you can't really make backups of your carts gamesaves to use with the ROM versions of those games on the G6.
But if you find someone with Supercard or something in your area, try flashing again.
ok...I bricked my ds lite.
...I held start, select, a and b and it didn't work.
then I took out my max media launcher and tryed it. it booted, but the boot menu was sort of glitchy pixels. I selected flashme.nds and...two white screens. this didn't happen when I bricked my ds lite. I opened flash me, shorted the sl1 port, and it immediatly turned off. why can't I boot flashme now?
some info...I'm usin an efa linker...I've succesfully flashed my phat ds...I use the no-pass max media launcher...the boot menu I'm using is called multi.nds...it's a program where you put all your .nds files in the same directory as the program, then you run the program. it compiles all the .nds files into a loader, then saves the files and the loader as darkstar.ds.gba. then you run darkstar.ds.gba and u get a menu to choose the files off of.
I thought mebbe the loader wouldn't work is this bricked state, so I tryed the efa nds loader provided with the efa files, and I tryed it with no loader at all. with the efa loader it showed the menu for a millisecond and then it immediatly turns to two white screens before I can do anything. with no loader, nothing at all...the backlight doesnt come on, nothing. some help, please? i'm soo close to fixing it! and if my dad sees I've turned 150$ into a shiny white brick...let's just say he won't think it's a great magic trick...
EDIT: one more thing...do you think it would run the flashme uninstall? if it would...I cud uninstall flashme(which isn't complete actually, it's just a brick with hardly anything at all on it) and then try flashing again.
EDITEDIT: hrmm....it wont' run anything but that one .ds.gba file I have, which is the loader...hrmm...
ooo! what If I had flashme.ds.gba!!!...
it won't load if I just rename it. I need a patcher of some sort...
i tryed that before I tryed the loader, and it didn't work...
I tryed about 5 different patchers...
either it wouldn't load, or it would say "the nds file is corrupt or invalid"
...so could someone provide me with flashme.ds.gba? not the patcher, but the patched file.
...also, make sure it's the flashmev7 that has brightness control. I wants brightness control!!!
thx in advance.

SO you did ZERO research on flashme compatability with your flashcart hardware before trying this?
Sorry, you have WAY too many variables going on there to even attempt to try to help you.
Repost again in the section dedicated to your flashcart hardware and pray.
Google is your only friend right about now.
no, I checked. it's designed to work with it, and it does, usually, but when it's in a bricked state...it can't. listen, all I need for you or someone to do is give me the flashme.ds.gba file. I've tried patching before, it hasn't worked. if you have it, please, send it to me!!!

THANK YOU!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!
You mean you can flash a dslite whit this in gba mode???
I have no idea. I never tried to use it.
Didn't need to on my Supercard mini-SD.
I just copied over the flashme.nds file and flat-out ran it.
Worked like a charm.
...well. it worked "like a charm"
...for some reason, with my efa linker, when it was in it's bricked state, nds rom loaders wouldn't work, and that's the only way I can run .nds roms on it. but if I run a .ds.gba on it, it'll run that. u see, because the loader is a .ds.gba, it'll run. and then THAT runs the .nds roms.
yay! now I'm happy!!!
...what the...wow. this is sad.
there's a crack on the left hinge of my ds...see here:
http://www.gamepro.com/news.cfm?article_id=75208
just like that. exactly the same.
...I called nintendo and they said since I had a 1 yr warrenty on it, I cud have it fixed. they were really nice and quick about it. they mentioned on the phone that having a my nintendo acccount made it much quicker, and I did...so...yeah. then I asked some questions about wii and hung up. seriously, they have really nice customer service. tomorrow I'll send it in the mail and they'll fix it. I only hope they don't realize I have flashme on it...but I said that the system ran fine, I just wanted the crack fixed before it got deeper and worse.
so...I'll stick around here for awhile. anyone here who needs help flashing or recovering a bricked ds, or needs help with nintendo customer service...well, I"m the expert
Nothing was ever "bricked"...well. it worked "like a charm"
...for some reason, with my efa linker, when it was in it's bricked state, nds rom loaders wouldn't work, and that's the only way I can run .nds roms on it. but if I run a .ds.gba on it, it'll run that. u see, because the loader is a .ds.gba, it'll run. and then THAT runs the .nds roms.

You are using the word in the wrong context.
And stay off the drugs.
If the first part of Flashme has been written, then the recovery mode will work without a passkey. But you can't flashme straight from GBA mode.
I think that's what's going on here, not too sure though.
