Hardware nand flash dump (3ds xl)

[vb_encryption_vb]

I tried asking in different threads but noone seems to know whats up.
So I have hardmodded my n3dsxl. Read nand with 2 programs of total 3 dumps. All 3 have same md5.
The only problem seems to be that I can't write to it. I even tried writing faulty dump that I just did. Still gives an i/o error 1117 in both programs. Though USB Image Tool suggests that it's already in use, and that I should close any opened windows with it. But I don't have any(duh).
Any help appreciated.

lol dw i have seen loads of people make this mistake "well.......that piece of plastic isn't hooked upto anything so it must do nothing i can just chuck it away........why my nand not write? "

Thing is I was concerned if I forgot something, and than I look at it and it starts yelling at me: "you f____t (foot) forgot about me didn't ya". XD

Got the boot screen but my adapter has to be plugged up to the computer. Computer doesnt detect anything. Card reader by chance? I ordered one from the guide just tried the one i had here.

Defiantly the adapter. My wifes laptop has a build in reader and it worked with no issues.

My Anker A7612 worked just fine for 2DS.
I use some 5$ reader i picked up at a store for 3ds/xl since all tuts recommend having the reader disconnected from the computer but attached to the DS when you turn the DS on.
Can't really do that with a built-in reader.

Hi!
Can't dump my new3dsXL.
I soldered wires on motherboard using manual. I bought necessary card-reader (transcend rpd-8). When i tried to dump - i didn't see any new storage in storage manager (i see label of cardreader, but there is no any storage in it).
my error number:
00F800FE
00000000 00000000
00000200 00400000


Then i tryed again with different computers and cartreaders. I had a lot of different "blue-screen" errors (when i'm trying to use different cardreaders), but no luck.
There is list of other errors that i have seen (while the soldering has not changed):
00F800FF
DFCFFFFF FFFFFFFF
00000200 00400000

00F800FE
DFCFFFFF FFFFFFFF
00000080 00800000

00F800EF
FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF
00000003 00000000

00F800EF
FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF
00000200 00000000


I tryed 3 different computers with different OS (win10/win7/XP).
I checked solder and wires two or three times.

Can anybody help me?

Looks like you've soldered the Clk wrong. It's only the small lower left square pad. I'd recommend soldering on the alternate Clk as shown in the picture I just left. It's easier to solder.

Ok, thnx, i'll try. But i think all clk squares are connected with each other. Am i wrong?

Hey guys
I want to find out if i can use this usb micro connector

For what? To create an external connector on your 3DS? Then it should be allright, as long as you realise that you still need a cardreader, so you can't plug the USB cable straight from your computer to this board.

Cool I've already got my usb to sd card sorted

I have tryed and it's not worked. Still getting "wrong" errors.

I keep trying to dump my nand at about 12%-24% i get error 24 from win32 disk imager. Anyone else have this issue and how did you fix it?

I had a similar problem (with varying percentages at which the dump process failed). I just double checked all soldering on the PCB, re-do it as clean as possible and all went fine

Ill have to go and try to redo it cleaner and see if this fixes it.
Edit: Just ran a continuity check using a multi meter and all my wires checkout straight into the mirco sd card adapter. Could it be that it's my card reader? I'm not using one of the recommended card readers.

It could very well be. I find it strange that the pc recognizes the device and even tries to read it (and even having a successfull start!) to try and blame the card reader. Some small solder traces might be causing the trouble (I had some problems regarding that matter, specially on old 3ds xl...as to why that model, IDK ). So as I said, you lose nothing trying to clean the PCB and soldering as carefully as you can.

I think it might be my connector soldering to be frank. my PCB soldering is pretty clean, but the connector soldering is well... mediocre. xD Here's a picture I took of the soldering.
