    How do Mariko modchips work?

    In non layman terms: The modchips perform an undervolting which is timed to occur when the memory compare used to compare the hash of the BCT (Boot Configuration Table) RSA Public key is checked, this allows an attacker to insert their own BCT RSA Public key, and thus sign the BCT with their own...

    Hacking EZ-FLASH Junior TestFlight

    I am having an issue ever since I got my ez flash junior, regardless of the firmware, after saving on any game (pokemon for example) upon resetting/rebooting it'll backup the save but it will stay stuck on the backup save screen forever until I reset the console again. Does anyone have the same...

    Hacking So should I give up?

    Because HWFly vendors have a monopoly on this type of product, because there is demand even at such highly inflated costs, because nobody outside of China will work on any alternatives as people don't fancy getting sued by a whole bunch of law firms affiliated to or contracted by Nintendo. Any...

    Hacking So should I give up?

    No profit? What have you been drinking? The SX chips were sold for around 60 to 70€ each for a package that cost 20$ in BOM top, and that's without any economy of scales in the equation. Did you expect Team Xecuter to be a non profit?

    Hacking So should I give up?

    I don't think you understand how it work. To do anything without glitching or exploiting a very early component in the chain of trust (like the bootrom) you need whole exploit chain (so, you need multiple exploitable bugs) that allows you to get kernel or trust zone privileged execution. This...

    Tutorial How to flash the HWFLY Clone chips

    Actually it does, the code is there and implemented, but they are idiots and made the storage that contains the glitch values configuration read only, so it can never store the new values. It is quite obvious that whoever cloned the SX didn't know what he/she was doing.

    Tutorial HWFLY chips will brick your OLED. Here is how to avoid it

    This is not about the power supplied from the chip (obviously, since as you've mentioned it sits on the 3.3v rail), it's about the power management configuration defined in BOOT0 (basically, the bootloader tells the power management unit to send specific voltages to specific pins) The chip runs...

    Tutorial HWFLY chips will brick your OLED. Here is how to avoid it

    People who actually know what they are doing are telling you that pushing the wrong voltages through the power management is not a good thing (including the Spacecraft-nx author who mentioned this would "most likely damage the board"), Nintendo changed those values on Aula for a reason, but keep...

    Tutorial HWFLY chips will brick your OLED. Here is how to avoid it

    They should just allow people to update the firmware/payload as the original SX does. If they sell a subpar product, they should also stop selling it as such an insanely overpriced markup as well, selling something with a BOM of $20 (at most) for $180 is just begging for someone to make an open...

    Switch OLED teardown V1/V2

    It glitches the BCT RSA pub hash compare so it returns true, this way you can use your own pub (and thus sign your bootloader with your own RSA private key), it also relies on BCT reads from the eMMC to derive proper timings for the glitch. The glitch itself and the way it works is very...

    Tutorial HWFLY chips will brick your OLED. Here is how to avoid it

    Realistically, all those dead on install consoles may as well be installation issues, the OLED install isn't a walk in the park, most people will not know how to install those properly, points on the board are tiny as well, all it takes is bridging the wrong pins. That said, it's not a good...

    Tutorial HWFLY chips will brick your OLED. Here is how to avoid it

    It should be using the same or equivalent power configuration to Spacecraft-NX version 0.1.0 I would not advice using it on OLED consoles.

    Tutorial HWFLY chips will brick your OLED. Here is how to avoid it

    If it's not updated, you need to update it before using it in an OLED, if it's in your OLED and your OLED still function properly, please do update it before using it further or you will risk damaging your OLED console.

    Tutorial HWFLY chips will brick your OLED. Here is how to avoid it

    It's even worse than that, they kept the code that optimizes timings per console but made the storage that stores the timing configuration read only, so it can't use per console optimal timings and instead relies on the factory built in ones (which somehow works most of the time). ie. They are...

    Tutorial HWFLY chips will brick your OLED. Here is how to avoid it

    I double checked to be extra sure, but yeah, I am good xD It's a good thing I am using a genuine SX Lite in my OLED :P

    Hardware Switch V1 OLED screen Swap

    You could, in theory swap the driver IC, assuming the BGA packages are compatible, but at that point you might as well just install a modchip on an OLED.

    Switch OLED teardown V1/V2

    Even if you do reset the HWFLY, there is nothing to reset from, given how timings aren't being saved to begin with, it will always use the factory built in values no matter what. That's assuming the reset command even works.

    Switch OLED teardown V1/V2

    No idea, I don't own a HWFLY myself so I can't test it, from what I have heard though going through USB does not seem to work, at least for updating, I would presume the reset command wouldn't work either, but feel free to test it should you acquire one.

    Switch OLED teardown V1/V2

    This is lame, they don't even provide a dedicated flex for the remaining emmc points, you still have to use magnet wires for those. This is a half arsed job at best, I don't see the point in spending over $40 for this.

    Switch OLED teardown V1/V2

    That's not a SX lite bug at all. This is what happens when you turn off a Switch from Horizon OS. It turns back on again 15 seconds after you turn it off and finally turns off for good. Normally on a legit firmware you don't see this behavior because boot0 will do the final shutdown and it...
