This one is good ?

Get something from 20-30w
That is 60w right there. that will lift the pads

 

[piratesephiroth]

I think 30-40w is good. Just be fast and everything will work fine.

If some makes a video tutorial of hardmodding the DSi would be nice


Btw... The tutorial talks about an Exploitable Dsi Tittle... The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords works has a exploitable one?

@Gadorach Looking at the "DSi (Side B)" photo is there any reason why the signals cant be tapped from the vias just after the resistors? (e.g. For CMD the via just after resistor R94 near the silkscreen P21, and for CLK the via just after R113 and EM14) Or would this not work?

On paper it should work (worst case scenario you may need to adjust the wire lengths a little), but those are harder to hit than the suggested points

Can someone complete the CID raspi guide?

Nevermind i could read the CID with my laptop.

Help

 

[Patxinco]

Soooo, maybe i'm pretty dumb, but i need some help.
Got everything ready until i'm at decrypting nand time, using the code providing CID and ConsoleID leads me to an error "error, expected 32 hex characters when parsing text"

Anyone could lend me a hand?

Edit: Nvm, i'm idiot, just deleting the spaces from the hex characters fixed the problem...

 

[Patxinco]

Sorry for double posting, but...

HUGE THANKS GUYS!!!

And thanks to @Apache Thunder and the FWtool in this post, so i could avoid the hardmodding of the console!!!

Now i have fully downgraded DSi

Is your DSi bricked?

 

[DarkGabbz]

Is your DSi bricked?

No i got it working and i uploaded some videos on yt but i killed one resistor while experimenting some days later.

 

[tozevleal]

A resistor from your DSi?

 

[DarkGabbz]

A resistor from your DSi?

Yes i already ordered a new one.

Shet... What you did to kill the poor resistor :S ... that makes me a little scared to hardmod my DSi... probably i could fry something :S

I desoldered and soldered the hardmod 5 times before but at 3am mixed up the gnd and clk wire.

That explains everything! But why you hardmod 5 times? You should created a "hardmod easy IO port" ... with that shouldn't need anymore to unsolder and resoldered again with the risk of screwing the DSi motherboard components

I did the hardmod with components i had at home and i edited the nand the nand multiple times.

Btw... how much costs an resistor for the DSi?
