You will need to hardmod your DSI and then use this https://gbatemp.net/threads/twlbf-a-tool-to-brute-force-dsi-console-id-or-emmc-cid.481732/ with it you can retrieve your CID and ConsoleID to decrypt the dump and inject DSIware and sudokuhax/4swordshax.
edit: a guide to inject dsiware is here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/gbatemp-dsi-modding-help-thread-and-guide.481118/ you will need to skip the dumping nand and injecting nand section those sections can be found on this guide. because you need a hardmod.

When you hardmod you have your nanddump thats what Ugopwn is used for, then you can bruteforce the ConsoleID and CID and inject sudokuhax via that guide and reflash your modified nand it using this guide.

ok understood now. so i have to wait ugopwn for eur dsi
No you can't use ugopwn because you dont have flipnote studio on your dsi. what that guide says you need ugopwn for can be done with a hardmod. Dumping is this thread. getting you consoleID / CID is the bfCL thread i linked above. injecting sudokuhax is another thread i linked. and downgrading is in this thread.

Yes this thread is for dumping and downgrading and reflashing. Only you cannot use this guides way of obtaining the CID and ConsoleID the decrypt the nand you need to use this thread https://gbatemp.net/threads/twlbf-a-tool-to-brute-force-dsi-console-id-or-emmc-cid.481732/ , to inject sudokuhax you can use section 3 of this guide https://gbatemp.net/threads/gbatemp-dsi-modding-help-thread-and-guide.481118/ . and to obtain sudoku you can use this tool http://gbatemp.net/threads/release-villain3ds-basically-freeshop-but-runs-on-your-pc.488127/ .

thanks you :) if i have problems i can ask you in private?

in the guide he say that long id for soduku is [000300044B344456] instead the one i downloaded from the shop now is SUDOKU [000480044B344456]. The codes are different at the beginning and same on the end, so this one is good for the modding?

After i successfully mod the dsi i can install dsiware from any region or not?

I don't know about that long ID so i can't help you with that, the DSI is region locked so probably not but most are on the web and in the Villain3ds link i posted earliar.

Hey, I just made the Hardmod with a 4 pin JST connector for myself. I closed the DSi and tried to boot it WITHOUT the SD Card adapter but I get the error screen with the code "OOOOFE00". I know that this is right but I thought it should only appear with the Adapter pluged in. Could anyone help me?

EDIT: The DSi still boots to the error screen without the cables soldered in. Maybe I heated the array at the DAT0 point to much up or some points are soldered together. D:

EDIT AGAIN: I accidently ripped of the chip from the CLK point xD. Now I'm using a different mainboard that's working but it misses a charging port. I will use a micro usb port instead.

I wanted to mention that it's possible to dump a NAND with only the mainboard, the smaller board for the battery and some buttons (see picture) and of course the battery. Since this was my first board I have plenty of games on it and wanted a backup of them. The touchscreen connector port is broken, so I can't really use this mainboard.

At the moment you can't install DSiWare from any region. But in the future if HiyaCFW is released, yes.

This is false, you can install any DSiWare as long as it was on your region's DSi shop.

Has anyone with a hard mod attempted replacing the system menu and tools with those from a different region?

I haven't messed with my US DSi for years but I have a stack of Japanese DSi LL's here. I'm holding my breath for HiyaCFW to make full use of them but even with HiyaCFW, I'm not sure I'll be able to use English versions of the system menu and tools. Replacing the sys tools and system menu on my Japanese 3DS's was a success but those operate a bit differently than a DSi.

Just looking for a way to utilize English menus on these Japanese DSi's. If anyone has any suggestions or could chime in at all, I would be very appreciative. I'm a little lost in current DSi development. Thanks guys!
