Once a flashcart has been flashed with **ntrboot** it is typically no longer usable as a DS flashcart (with the exception of certain flashcarts such as the Acekard 2i). It is possible to restore a flashrom file back to an ntrboot compatible flashcart to return it to it's previous functionality. If you followed the ntrboot guide, you should have a copy of the flashrom backup.
|
|
|
|
### Required hardware
|
|
|
|
To remove ntrboot from your flashcart you will need:
|
|
- A flashcard that has been flashed with ntrboot
|
|
- A hacked DSi/3DS running ntrboot flasher in order to restore the flashrom backup to the flashcard
|
|
- A flashrom backup of your flashcart. If you followed the ntrboot flashing guide, you should have this as a `.bin` file in the `ntrboot` folder from your flashcart MicroSD card or DSi/3DS SD card
|
|
- If you do **not** have this backup, you may download the corresponding flashrom backup for your flashcart from the [3ds.hacks.guide ntrboot guide](https://3ds.hacks.guide/installing-boot9strap-(ntrboot).html#section-v-removing-ntrboot). These are available as magnet links and require torrent client like [qBittorrent](https://www.qbittorrent.org/download.php) or [Deluge](http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/Download) to download them

### Removing ntrboot
|
|
{% assign tabs = tab-dsi | concat: tab-3ds %}
|
|
{% include tabs.html index=0 tabs=tabs %}

|
|
### Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
In some cases, the restore may fail. This may be due to either an incorrect flashrom backup file, or your flashcard may be incompatible with the restore. ntrboot uses a hardcoded name for restoring flashrom backups. If you renamed the `.bin` file and do not have the original name, you can create a flash dump which will create a `.bin` file of the correct name of which you can then use to rename your flashrom backup.
