By the way, some builtin sd card reader should work as long as they're real SD card readers. Just insert any sd card, if the device name is /dev/mmcblk? not /dev/sd?, you're good to go.
I believe all Android phones use /dev/mmcblkx instead of /dev/sdx as well, but since they use a microSD slot you would need an SD to microSD adapter (they do exist).
By the way I have an Orange Pi, which unfortunately has a microSD slot :(

There's a pecial version of linux who load itself in the memory of the PI (permit to swap SD)
Yeah, use that.

@Gadorach

including version downgrading will show system is on 1.4, it would look like this in your title downgrading section:

4)Version

[DS Icon] -> [System] -> [0003000F484E4CXX - System Settings] -> [[Your Region Here]] -> [v4]

Version 4 of 0003000F484E4C45 is 1.4U this was tested and confirmed in this tread by @MarioMasta64

So is there any way to check that i am on 1.4 if system settings says 1.4.5?

You could just downgrade the version number to 1.4 without downgrading anything else, checking the version number is therefore pointless.

The only way you can really tell if it's been successfully downgraded is to check that the exploits work.

Shouldn't you change the DS cart whitelist step so it says 41 (the code for all regions, like you said when downloading it) rather than XX?

When I'm doing the Decrypiting Nand part I get: TWLTool v1.1 by WulfyStylez Special thanks to CaitSith2

Error, expected 32 hex characters when parsing text "CID.bin"

op please update twltool. its old and *has* bricked people.
You can't brick as a result of using TWLtool unless you delete your original NAND image. That's silly. If you mod your NAND without a hardmod, that's on you. Keep a backup and get it hardmodded if it needs to be fixed.
