find, install, and run the operating system dedicated to unlocking Gateway-bricked 3DSes (which is designed to fully load in memory so then you can remove the card it loads from and connect your console instead), it includes a CID viewer

Thank you for clearing that part up, but I'm still at a bit of a loss. I'm entirely new to harmodding and don't even know how to about attaching the NAND pinouts to an insertable SD card. If you could explain that, I'd be all set, really.

Disassemble a microSD adapter in the least destructively possible way, connect 4 wires, preferably doing your best to have them of the same length and reasonably short, to CMD, CLK, DAT0, and GND, connect the other end of the first 3 to your console according to the pictures in the OP, connect GND to any metal shield like slot-1

Copy the first line to put into command prompt. There's your CID right there.

what of that is the first line? i'm a bit confused xd
When I decrypted my NAND, I used this command: twltool nandcrypt --cid 7f3c6cc21a3257373136354d00011500 --consoleid 0820537514114111 --in NAND_0.bin --out NAND_DEC.bin

so in that case.. i'll need to use the command (i replaced the consoleid with mine and the cid with what you said, copy the first line)
twltool nandcrypt --cid 4D728A1ADD034D303046504100001500 --consoleid 0820190924109135 --in NAND_0.bin --out NAND_DEC.bin.

Make sure your encrypted NAND file is in the same location with twltool named "NAND_0.bin."

I have a question. Is there a way to decrypt a NAND using Hardmod without any DSiWare game installed!? Because as I can see to get the ConsoleID we need it...
