Answer 1

Maker sure there's nothing between the memory stick to the R4, and the R4 to the DS (dust, bits of dirt, a hair etc). Try blowing gently into the memory slot, to remove any unwanted particles.

Also, try putting the very latest version of the kernel on your R4.

Good luck, and I hope you get it working :)

P.S. At the moment there are ALOT of fake (counterfeit) R4s around, if yours if one of these counterfeits then this will explain your problem.

Answer 2

Usually it's related to a lousy connection between your MicroSD card to your R4. Blow into the slot, pull the card in and out and give it a try. If that doesn't work, try reinstalling the firmware.

Answer 3

Unfortunately, you got scammed and your R4 SDHC is fake. The original R4 team did not produce anything like "R4 SDHC" or "R4-III" etc.

Using your R4 SDHC will run into a high chance of bricking your Nintendo DS Lite. In addition, it is very buggy and is not compatible with many games. As you can see, you are already stucked on the loading screen and that is a very common problem for FAKE R4 due to bad quality.

The only official site is "http://www.r4ds.cn" (China server) or "http://www.r4ds.com" (English based). You should contact your seller immediately for refund.

You should always get yours from authorized reseller to ensure the one you are purchasing is original and genuine R4.
