Would be cool if someone could make a clip on solderless back cover with pogo pins so people can buy that if they are no good at soldering

Thats a good idea, but that will be good only for 3DS xl, because the normal 3ds has a pin hidden somewhere and its much harder to solder to it or make a case like that.

I uploaded my code to github, still wainting for the lock code from ryuga, and will only upload that after I do some testing to be safe with it (maybe some cards react in different ways, thats why I got around 5 different SD card and an old MMC card to lock them and see if it works). This is the repo https://github.com/krisztian1997/3dsunbricker

Where do you hook up the ATmega (in case I had a brick) ?
Same points as for the NAND flashing stuff ?

aye, same interface.

just remember to convert the logic levels (5V -> 3.3V) either by using a SD shield or some other means (although diode/resistor dividers are reported to distort the signal too much).


hold it: so we need a fifth wire?

Yes, SPI wont work without the CS line (cant select card if that line is not used, and then we cant sent the cmd42)

Because of the password: I have already stated somewhere, it is pointless to search for the password. It is console unique. They are not so stupid and just leave a "master key" somewhere.

Just use the forced erase method and everything is fine.

This is awesome guys, you are really great!
I am going to get my Arduino today and I will wait for your instruction to try this in my bricked 3Ds
Test subjet number 001 if you want

You have the wires soldered to the 3ds ? We need to test first if the SPI still works.

An internal solution would be nice (like a modchip), where you can select what you want to flash from the outside, via a mod like this: http://gbatemp.net/threads/nand-flash-dump-3ds-xl.350668/page-49#post-4896653
Would there be enough space inside a 3DS (XL) to pull this off ?


Not a bad idea, but you would need to include an image of your nand backup. So we would need to find a single chip solution that would fulfill all the requirements to recover a brick. I am sure it could be done even if it isn't a single chip solution. We just have to wait for a positive outcome of the current efforts underway.
