    First off, do you know if you're using a clone card? The R4 has so many clones it's hard to count.
    If you DO have a clone,you can follow this tutorial to install YSMenu for clones.

    If you have a REAL, GENUINE R4, you can follow the tutorial to install Wood R4 1.11.

    If your R4, didn't work in the first place, instead of wiping it, maybe you should've done the "Paper Trick". This is when your DS can't read your R4 because the metal contacts on the bottom of the DS chip aren't touchin the DS ones, it's REALLLLLLLLY easy. You just unscrew the ds card, slip a piece of paper in it, then screw it back up and presto! your DS will read it each time! I have had the original r4, for 2-3 years now?
