If you purchased an paid for an R4 and received a clone, you might want to pursue that angle.
Personally, I would be angry at such a substitution.

Gail, it sounds to me like you have the same problem i had with a R4 i bought today.I had both the loading screen problem and the "this is fake!!" problem.
If you use the following update (i got theh web address off the box), the R4 should work (mine works fine now. I will warn you though it downloaded very sloooooow!

i had the same problem ,i got an r4 about 12months ago never had any problems,then i got another for a friend ,the box and reader looked the same but the card had SDHC on it,i tried the web site on the box couldnt get it to download then i checked the box and noticed a small cd ,i put it in the pc and clicked explore ,i found 2 files 1 english and 1 french ,i clicked on the english and follow the instructions by copying the english files on to the microsd card ,put card in the nds and it works ,so anybody having problems with there cards check to see if theres a cd in the box

I didn`t get a disc i mailed the company and they said that it didn`t come with one,They sent me a link for the kenel but that didn`t work either. I have tried lots of kenels all i get as i said before is this is fake or just a loading screen.

have you tried formating the card through your pc,and try loading the files on your card again
also have you got another micro sd card ,you may have 1 in your mobile you could try using that as it may be your sd card thats the problem

Hi,
I'm 100% new to all this, but here's what I have found regarding R4.
I have the R4 (Rev2) and I installed the latest firmware v1.18 on it and it worked !
Found it here: http://r4ds.cn/download/r4.html
I also found this site, that talks about the R4 Deluxe:
http://www.r4deluxe.com/en/
This site shows a firmware v1.20
Also this one talks about the R4 Advanced:
http://www.r4ds-a.com/download-en.php
Also shows a firmware v1.20
Maybe THIS firmware will work on your Advanced card since this site is all about the Advanced one.
Also read about the new R4-III
http://www.r4iii.com/
And this one has v3.04 as a firmware revision.
Tonight, I found this website that has v1.19 firmware which should work on my R4 (Rev2)
http://r4team.com/eng/downloads.htm
Still needs to be tested, since with v1.18 I have one game that won't work (Carnival Games), game won't start, let's see if v1.19 fixes that for me without spending more money on M3 Real which I was told I should get, since today it's the best out there now (SO I was told).

Hi again,
Very Sweet !
That v1.19 firmware fixed the issue I had with "Carnival Games" it all works now...
Seems to run some patch before the ROM loads, so whatever they did fixed it !

I recently bought an r4 deluxe also. only to have the exact problem being discussed here.... from what i understand the deluxe is a fake.
supposedly some say there is a kernel that will work with it but i have yet to find one.
yes I am a hip hop producer. no you can't have a free beat.

Hi,
To my big surprise:
I ordered 2 more R4 from http://www.veebuy.com for friends, and the only firmware that will run on them is v1.23 (Came with v1.20 on it)
The official v1.18, Unofficial v1.19 one didn't work on it.
Then I decided to try this v1.23 on the two *I* own, and it will not run, but will run official v1.18, Unofficial v1.19
So I guess, each card will need to be tested with v1.19 unofficial, this v1.23 SDHC flavor one, and the deluxe v3.04 one !
My 2 cents...
