try to use a USB 2.0 card reader.
I went through 5 different USB 3.0 card readers and none of them worked. Only older USB 2.0 readers worked for me.
Also make sure your cable length is less than 30 CM (1 ft)
good luck.

Removeable. Can do any thing help.

Before doing anything with Disk Imager, you should first try and make sure the reader is actually detecting the mlc chip..
Start, Run , type diskmgmt.msc
In the Disk Management window, do you see a 29.7 GB unformatted / unallocated partition ( it will appear black ) ?
If yes, then continue experimenting with Win32 Disk Imager ..
If NO , then go back and troubleshoot card reader, soldering , etc.. If you don't see the 29.7 gb partition , then all you're accessing is the the reader itself with no detectable chip connected. (also make sure your R26 CLK trace cut was done)
If you're confident of your solder job and trace cut , here's how it should work
1. R26 (if using a jumper, should be be set to CLK of SD card)
2. Connect the sd card to the Reader, and insert the reader to the PC
3. Power up the WiiU ( blue light should come on , but nothing will appear on the gamepad )
4. Windows should automatically pop up saying you've inserted an unformatted drive (DO NOT FORMAT, just cancel)
5. Then Proceed to either read the MLC or write back if you have an existing backup from your own console. Note you may need to run Win32 Disk Imager as Administrator

Yes - so long as the mlc.bin is from your own system from a previous backup you've taken.
Also, if you do attempt to restore it, make sure that the mlc.bin backup matches your current system verion.
Here's what I mean ..
Let's say you have a backup from a year ago and at the time of the backup you were on System version 5.5.5
Now let's say you've updated your system recently to version 5.5.6 ... If you try to restore mlc.bin from system version 5.5.5 you will soft brick your system (on launch, you will get "Error code 160-0103" ).. the reason why this happens is because your SLC.bin file is on 5.5.6 but your mlc.bin would be on 5.5.5 after the restore ...
If you find yourself in this situation (old backup only), you will need to do an slc.bin & mlc.bin restore to force the system back to a common system version for both. (restoring slc.bin is much more difficult and can't be done with the method described in this forum)
This is why it's important that people take fresh/new backups of mlc.bin & slc.bin after a new system update.
Hopefully what I said above makes sense ..

TwoSpikedHands:
yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

@
TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

Sicklyboy:
@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one -
@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@
The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -
