Picofly AIO Thread

[k28]

What is your error code?
If your error is *=* (emmc init not detected), then:
if you can boot to ofw normally, then the connection Cmd, Clk to the picofly need to be checked, or change the rp2040 board, else
If you can't boot to ofw (blackscreen etc). Check cmd resistor on the mainboard. the cmd/dat0/clk line from emmc to the cpu might disconnected.

yes yellow short long short. do people have problems with picofly cones and fw 17? yesterday i salvaged a mariko with the same picofly. it glitches/behaves normales with the corrupt emmc modul with fw 16 installed on it and boots into hekate. but with rerebuld emmc with fw 17 installed on it just flashes yellow short long short and boots into ofw. so it seems like its an picofly firmware incompatibility with fw17, rather then a bad batch of picofly.

another question: is there a way to glitch into hekate without emmc installed for emmc rebuild purposes?

so it seems like its an picofly firmware incompatibility with fw17, rather then a bad batch of picofly.

I doubt it. The glitch is working before any firmware loaded. So it doesn't have any dependency on the firmware. Theoretically, if you have zeroed emmc, the picofly still works. You could imagine it as a bootloader.

another question: is there a way to glitch into hekate without emmc installed for emmc rebuild purposes?

Seems not possible.

The known flow of boot, will run the code ON the emmc. The picofly inject the sdloader to the emmc (hence the nosd). The function of the sdloader is to transfer the running code from the emmc to the sdcard. Which then we could run any program we put on the sdcard, such as hekate.

Hey guys. Accidentally, I broke SP1, but I got the glitch to go to Hekate, however, there are times when it restarts with the Nintendo logo and the screen stays black, sometimes the blue LED flashes intermittently and sometimes *=*. When I finished the nand backup, I received the "slow EMMC" message, even with the additional resistors and cleaning the board. Anyone having a similar problem?

I'm installing Picofly on switch Lite, with double mosfets, just to make sure, the source from both mosfets goes to ground, right??

Yes. And just so you know, you don't need to use double mosfet, just make sure you use 0.2 wire (or better) for (S)ource and (D)rain. For (G)ate you can use thinner wire if you want (~40awg)

I took magnet wire from a small electric motor .25 mm but I was having difficulty to solder it, so I too thin wire from a cable, it's less than .2 mm, I hope it works

Why is in the guide double mosfets??

I'm getting eMMC read failure, is it because of the wires from mosfet or something else?? I've checked the dat0 wire, it seems to be ok

Here are the wiring of dat0, cmd and clock. They aren't making contacts with other test points and the resistance of the wires till Picofly are around 50 Ohm, so seems everything normal

Hi bro.
From my pov, the DAT0 seems different, take a look...

Hi friends. I've installed RP2040 Tiny on OLED model. Everything looks to work fine but led is no flashing any colour. May I need to make any configuration on this chip? I flashed last version 2.75 firmware from rehius

Thanks in advance

Edit: when I say that everything works fine is that can boot Hekate and run cfw, so installation must be ok, but led is not flashing

high chance you bought a clone. taje picture of your tiny front and back

The blue LED should at least blink when started. Before assembly, did it show any signs?

I was thinking about it. It is this model:




Bought 3 units. One of them cannot flash firmware because pc doesn't detect it, other is the one installed and the last haven't tried yet... I think it was very good purchase

No sign. Just know that is working because console boots up

As @Jehmyson pointed out, the dat0 is soldered on wrong contact point.

As for the double mosfet part, I would guess that since the original SX flex used 2pcs of mosfet we were doing it same with picofly in the begining. But as time went by we saw that single mosfet works just fine in most of the cases if your soldering skills/material are good.

I wasn't paying attention and got some of those. They are clone Tiny's and the led doesn't work with the latest firmware. But as long as it glitches and boots you should be ok.

Are there alternative points for clk on switch lite board??

Left CLK-via = directly to EMMC.
Right CLK-via = alternative, red arrow.

If right-side of the trace is ripped, run jumper from blue to red arrow.

Thanks, that saved my entire work the traces are like 70-80% gone but both of them are still connected, so I didn't wanted to stress them any further.
Do you have the board view file (the black and red picture that you've posted)??

The Picofly mod turned out to be a lot of fun (even though I've made a lot of mistakes ). Now everything works fine, I can boot into hekate

Next week I'll have an OLED to Mod, hopefully that works without problem

Thanks again for your help

SDA/SCL are used to bring the cpu into low-power mode, which helps the glitch process in some cases. It is likely to make the glitch process slower though, so they should not be used in a system where the glitch works without them

My friend, could you tell me how to get the boardview of the Nintendo Switch models, please? It would be extremely useful in my daily life.
TIA

 

[Myst0gan]

Are the hwfly flexes interchangeable?? I mean does the oled flex works with Lite and vice versa??
I install only rp2040 zero (the ali version), so it doesn't matter what kind of cable I am using, as long as they get soldered in the correct points, right??
