What do you want your 3ds to do that it doesn't? There isn't a point to hard mod for the sake of hardmodding. Do you want to get custom buttons or a custom thumb pad? Add a capture card or USB port so you can access the sysnand? Step one is find what you want to do. Then we can help.I want to hardmod a regular n3ds that I have, is there a tutorial that really works?
I'm really good at welding, but I need some documentation.
You don't need a hard mod to back it up. You need a hard mod if the downgrade fails so you can put your backup back onto your console.Oh sorry, I didn't mention, I want to backup my nand, to downgrade safely.

This is not correct. You can't back up the NAND without a hardmod unless you are already on 9.2 or lower.You don't need a hard mod to back it up. You need a hard mod if the downgrade fails so you can put your backup back onto your console.
You can back up your nand without hardmodding. You can still back up your band without hardmodding as explained here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/guide-the-emunand-save-data-mega-guide-gbatemp-doesnt-deserve.378491/ You should only hard mod if you end up with a brick. Yo you already have a cfw installed?That's the reason of hardmodding, backup the nand before trying to downgrade and have a backup in case something goes wrong.
wait, he's not on 9.2 or lower? @Lgzeto what is your firmware?This is not correct. You can't back up the NAND without a hardmod unless you are already on 9.2 or lower.
Of course not. He's already said he wants to downgrade.You can back up your nand without hardmodding.

*facepalm* I guess that was a logic error on my part. Do people running 9.2 ever want to downgrade to <4.5? That's what I thought he meant. If he's on higher than 9.2, I'm pretty sure he has to weld some wires to the motherboard to read/write. Haven't seen a tutorial though.Of course not. He's already said he wants to downgrade.
There's a video on YouTube which details the whole process for an XL:I want to hardmod a regular n3ds that I have, is there a tutorial that really works?

EDIT: This is for backup the NAND and downgrade safely.
