Hardware N3DS NAND backup possible, I hope.

What connectors did you use? I would like to do a clean install exactly like that.

looks like a 4pin fan header connector with some parts filled off.

Oh well. Couldn't do it as clean as you but it's functional

Actually it is a board to board connector at 1.27mm pitch, this is the one I use of a board to board connector from Newark. It is slightly shaved down because the adapter board I made was using the wrong thickness FR4.

Hey it's hidden and it works, still good in my books. For a lot of the of the work I do to case modding and the like, I usually a drill a hole smaller then what's needed and use hand files like this and this to shape the hole.

I forgot I bought a file set -_-

So after reassembly I noticed the bottom lcd screen has a dark spot like pressure is being applied to it. Took it apart and sure enough it is. I think I am using visually the same wire thickness as you. Any pics of your routing under the board that might help me alleviate this issue?

EDIT: Ended up moving to alt CLK and rerouted the other two cables and alleviated it. I literally spent the last hour and a half messing with it and finally removed all the wires and put pressure on it and noticed that at the slightest pressure it actually gets a pressure mark even without wires. Must have been something with this unit.

please, anybody respond me question

Use a DMM multimeter Ninoh-Fox. Just touch a gnd point that you know and then the others you want to test. If you hear the beep its gnd point.

Or pm me, i am spanish too xDD.

Thank you all! I will keep you informed of my project

There are a lot of GND points if you need to know where another one poke around with a multimeter (on continuity mode) to anywhere on the metal shielding (like on the cartridge slot) and then poke some of those golden pads around, the board uses a ground pore plane so there should be a couple points all around.

This is picture of the N3DS provided by another member here, these should be some useable GND points but double check them by tapping one probe to the large metal shield (blue) and the other to those red areas.

But for the CLK on N3DS (non XL)? Nothing yet?

Not that I know of, sorry. I hope someone finds it ^^

seriously nice work, i'd pay to have you do mine.

Why don't you just buy a USB to Nintendo DSi+ wire instead?
Oops. I thought this was another thread where OP was trying to charge his battery dead 3DS from a USB charger

During the xl modding, I found that my sd reader isn't maybe compatible with these new models, even if it works great with the old ones. So, maybe the right clk point was already discovered initially, but without the right sd reader or/and a logic state analyzer I could not detect it. Now I have just ordered a Transcend, like the same in your first post.

So, I repeat, perhaps the clk mentioned in 3dbrew is right. If someone can test and dump, we will have the confirmation.

Unfortunately I don't have anymore the n3ds non xl.

That was my thought too but you really need some equipment to test it with, an Oscope would work great

today or tomorrow arrive me the pieces for my mod (n3ds no xl), i will report

EDIT: A question. does someone has been reading and writing NAND? i dont see nothing photo

Yeah, Avalynn has posted some photos of updating and afterwards downgrading the system by using the mod a while ago if I'm not mistaken (and if that was your question).

 

[kelroy]

Maybe he reffer only to the normal one. On the xl its ok and working.

 

[Ninoh-FOX]

exactly, I mean the N3DS NO XL, blue screen, code 0000400, writing and reading of NAND working, final size of the nand, hexagecimal established, etc ..

all that would be helpful for us
