    The DSi 1.4 update blocks all flashcarts.
    You need to update your flashcart, if an update is available, on a DSi without the 1.4 update or a DS Lite. Then it will work on the 1.4 DSi again.

    What flashcart do you have? TTDSi, Acekard2i, EZFlash Vi, R4i, etc?

    So it says there is an error and to turn off the system right?


    I am assuming this is an r4 type your using...I don't think those can go past 1.4.


    What is the dsi's firmware currently (incase it's 1.5...which would affect everyone)

    For the dsi to check firmware..head to the system options menu (the spanner icon) and it would be in the top screen in one of the corners.

    The dstti...not sure, if it was pre-installed then even harder.

    Good news it the TTDSi is easily upgradeable to the 1.4 fix.
    But you will need another DS to do the upgrade. Because in order to run the update you have to run the TTDSi.

    Download this:
    http://www.linfoxdomain.com/nintendo/ds/dl.php/DSTTi_v1.4_firmware.rar

    Put all three files on your TTDSi (just like you put a game on it).
    Run the TTi14UPGRADE.nds
    Follow the instructions, and you will be done. The TTDSi will work on 1.4 DSi again.
    You can delete the three files after you are done.

    Just incase, backup your games and save files before doing it.
