Soldering to those point over and over will weaken them
I made it work, had to solder wires to my multimeter and hot glue but i made it work !
Good work Kane49!
Do you mind sharing some pics? I'm curious to see your work...
Thx!

It looks like a mess^^
Dumb as i am i cut open the wrong trace (the one coming from bottom right) so i had to use hotglue to prevent any shorts and keep the wire to the real CMD Trace in place until i could get a tiny bit of solder on for a decent connection on the real trace.
Slathering the whole thing in hotglue at low temperatures to keep it fixed and resistant to pressure, you can see the white wire that will remain in the 3ds constantly as i wont be resolving the hot glued link as its a pain in the ass
All in all, with a conducting pen and only cutting open the right trace this could even have looked pretty but then again i probably wont rip off a contact pad in my life ever again
Btw it does not seem that i can write back to the nand, it reads just fine but once i try to write it stops with an I/O Error.
Any ideas ? i suspect it has something to do with the card reader as it does the same with another 3ds !
I'm in the same boat... I can read all day long but not write. I get the I/O error, and when I try and use a built in card reader I got the error that the "Media is Write Protected" any thoughts?

Good one Kane!
If writing gives you trouble, perhaps it's the reader itself OR either your wires are "too long" or the solders/connections are causing you to "lose" data.
But I believe that if the errors were related to data loss, it'd be happening for read too...
Try shortening your wires a bit.
PS: I used a 17cm USB shielded cable, for instance!
If the reader is telling you that write protection is enabled , bridge the two leftmost pins using some tin
These two? View attachment 5226
Decided to tackle this today before I have to update to play A Link Between Worlds. All in all it didn't go to badly. Removing the cart slot carefully is a bitch though.
Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures while wiring stuff. I just wired the 4 wires required to some jumper plugs for easy access. I think someone else did something similar on a normal 3DS earlier in the thread.
Everything works as expected.
Congratulations!
BTW, I wasn't "fully" aware that in order to do this in an original 3DS you have to remove the cart slot... Are you serious we have to remove the cart slot?
Cheers!
I am going to backup mine nand soon, but I came up with a few questions :
why does the 3ds show the blue screen instead of just running normally when a sd is adapted?
Why couldn't the nand of the xbox360 readed this way? I had to buy a nandx or jrunner for that
