Hardware N3DS NAND backup possible, I hope.

[ubagutobr]

I want make the modification, i update my new 3ds XL to 10.5 (sobs), but i have a backup from 9.2

I read with only Dat0, clk, cmd, gnd i can read and write the nand this is right? Or i will need the others data1,2,3?

And any tip before i think to make this? '-'

I was thinking there would be metal contacts on the bottom aligned to where they should be. Maybe it could be more extruded at the point of connection to give it a better chance of not falling off, because "glue/sticker backs" are not known to be long lasting or dependable.

I don't think it'll work. If the connections are even the tiniest bit loose, you can corrupt the NAND. This can lead to ore damage.

The DAT0, CMD, CLK, and GND are all you need.

Yes. I used about 6 different ones before just getting a confirmed working one

Get a compatible reader and then you'll know the reader isn't the problem

Apparently they are 5 pins instead of 4.... Will it still work or did I fuck up?

Does your home button work? When I performed a hardmod on mine, the ribbon cable next to the microphone wouldn't properly sit because of the flapper things.

Is There a place where i can buy some kind of "Hardmod Kits" for N3ds XL? Like things such as the adapter/port and with the sd card adapter premade

My home button works fine. The black flexs conecctions are very sensitive, I did precaution with this.

How did you go about removing those ribbon cables? My N3DS lost the home button due to that, and I'm getting another N3DS and I want to be cautious about it.

there is no special way to do this is simply to take care to remove and replace the cable, particularly what I do is hold the click finger while I remove or insert the cable.

Check ebay, it's under $2 or amazon for around $4.

As you can see i cutted it a little bit with a wire cutter (easy) to fit in, there is a similar board possible, but this one fits perfectly.
