Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

[deeps]

Solder wire, just use some 63/37 SN/PB wire (5mm in diameter or lower is more than enough).

that's a thicc solder wire bro

thank abal for this product. it is even cheaper and more reliable than the yellow adapter one.

is this one correct for Switch Lite?

It even says Lite on it.... but we don't support the hwfly chips in this thread.

Thank you so much for helping me. I have one last question:
The chip I've bought state on top picofly core and it has only the boot button not the reset one.
Plus, if I connect it to pc no window is open to put the fw does it mean that is already flashed? How can I know what version is? If it's possible?
Thanks

...but yes, it probably means it's already flashed. if you hold the boot button while plugging in the usb, the window should pop up

ffs, how much spoonfeeding do you need?!

In the picofly guide on this forum, the guide clearly states how you flash a picofly chip.
Donwload 2.75 from github and flash it.

Then you know you have the latest fw, how hard can it really be to do some reading yourself?!

No need to be rude... sorry I didn't want to bother anyone. You're right.
Thanks

this guy doesn't have an rp2040-zero or rp2040-tiny though - he has some aliexpress garbage

 

[rull_bull]

They work the same with boot button for the flashing part.
And they use picofly firmware so no problem there.

hey guys. having an issue. everytime I ground my pico chip, the rst value changes and the console insta boots. pico blinks saying rst not connected. when I remove grnd from chip the value for rst is correct

Are you using rp2040 board or the hwfly clones? Might as well put some photos about the rst solder point

I'm using a pico dev board. I've tried 3 different board.

the joint may look cold but it's just the lighting I promise. if I remove 3.3v also the rst value is correct. it's like it's all shorted somewhere?

oh my God I'm an idiot I had 3.3v soldered to the wrong cap. IDIOT

Don't be so hard on yourself bro, you merely had some bad luck while thinking!

 

[dehydrated_lemur]

does anyone know if the hwfly micro USB adapters are compatible with like the picofly cores? and vice versa. I like how the picofly cores are USBC

Hi, sorry for my English, but could someone help me, I installed the picofly chip in the OLED switch, but there are times when it causes the glitch, and there are times when it doesn't perform the glitch, so I try again, and it it works.
but when it doesn't work, it gives the sequence of yellow blinks as follows: *==.
a short one and then two long ones, and it enters the OFW.
Would anyone have any idea what it would be?
Note: EMMC value is correct

I've been having an odd issue, similar to this guy, over the last few months...

Successful / stable OLED install, boots payload super fast.
After a few weeks, I get =* d0 error, boots OFW.
Open console, remove battery, check values - okay, back to stable/fast payload boot.
After a few weeks same thing. Remove battery, check values, fixed again.
I have tried replacing d0 resistor, same behavior.
Thanks for any ideas!

dat0 adapter or reball with permeant wiring?

dat0 adapter or reball with permeant wiring?

Adapter
It hasn't budged. Well soldered and its solder pad (and the wire attached to it) reads proper values after months.
