Well actually N9 does have serial port TX&RX pins on the motherboard that you can connect to (you can see them on service manual schematics). But yes, for most people they are a bit hard to reach and requires quite much work and knowledge to get it working.

But great work, this is a much easier way which doesn't require dismantling of the device
