Ok. We need to establish exactly what straps you have connected.

Do this...
Make sure joycons are connected to the switch.
Boot into normal firmware
Then press the reset button on your Switchme. Tell me what happens...

If you see a joycon disconnected symbol, you have one strap connected.

If you see joycon disconnected symbol AND volume goes up, both straps are connected. Can you find out please?

Ok. That leaves you with dual boot only.

So, where are we at? Have you dragged a version 1 or version 2 uf2 over? Makes no difference which in your case.

Next step disconnect from usb and connect with usb
-Switchboot open ( i drag this file over trinket_rebug.uf2

than restart the console.

And get same result boot into horizon :(

maybe its my switch :D im happy with NX dual boot this works ;)

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

this is in my info file

UF2 Bootloader 04f58a7 SFHWRO
Model: Trinket M0
Board-ID: SAMD21E18A-Trinket-v0
You are holding down volume while turning the power on yes? Can you dual boot?
@Gismor

So if you try any other UF2, what happens?

Remember you will never have autoCFW boot without autoRCM as your volume_ strap is missing

Yes i can dual boot.
When i hold power button normal boot into OFW
when i hold power button and Volume "+" i boot into CFW

this is the only working file for me for dual boot.

I think there has been a colossal misunderstanding.

All you will EVER be able to do is dual boot.

You do not have vol+ strap connected.

Only solution for permanent boot into CFW is autoRCM.

Sorry i dont Unterstand?

Current i use dual Boot and my autoRCM is disable.
I use the 0 folder method and its Fine for me.

Oh right. I'm sorry I'm getting mixed up. My brain failing. I thought we were enabling owner CFw boot.

Sorry :(
 
OK... If someone wants to try this...

https://github.com/mattytrog/Basic-Modchip-UF2/blob/master/UF2/Trinket_Rebug.UF2?raw=true

This is my new "basic UF2" for people who want no pissing around.

Other boards updated tomorrow pending feedback. Trinket & Rebug only at the minute. Source on my git.

With this UF2:
  • Your Trinket / Rebug will look for "payload.bin" OR "start.bin" in SD root and launch automagically.
  • 0 folder not needed
  • nx files not needed
  • No folders will be made
  • If "payload.bin" or "start.bin" is not found, Hekate 4.5 will launch.
  • This is meant for people who don`t want to be pissing around with folders / nx files / etc etc
i test it right now !
[EDIT] Working great, as usual ;)

Drag and flash works perfectly with the UF2 files from the official R4S site.
About software interfering with flashing, I am running on Linux, but that shouldn't be interfering with anything. Specially considering I can flash the official files without a problem.
But for the sake of thoroughness, I am going to do a cold boot into a kernel with virtualization opts off and try again.

Sorry for the double-post, but the result from the cold boot is the same. Drag, flash, blinking red led.

Same here. But when I tried Trinket_Rebug version, it worked perfectly.

@mattytrog i have tried now many files.

only this file: https://github.com/mattytrog/Ninten...g_Pack/TRINKET_REBUG_CHAINLOADER_0_FOLDER.UF2
and this file: https://github.com/mattytrog/Ninten...g_Pack/trinket_rebug_0_folder_chainloader.UF2

works on my switch perfect.
is it possible to make on the base of one of these UF2 file a a new UF2 file with these features
  • Your Trinket / Rebug will look for "payload.bin" OR "start.bin" in SD root and launch automagically.
  • 0 folder not needed
  • nx files not needed
  • No folders will be made
  • If "payload.bin" or "start.bin" is not found, Hekate 4.5 will launch.

Ok. What exactly is happening when you drop the UF2 on switchboot?
 
when i drop this file
https://github.com/mattytrog/Basic-Modchip-UF2/blob/master/UF2/Trinket_Rebug.UF2?raw=true
on my switch do my switch only booting in OFW.
i hold power button and volume (+) and boot in OFW and NOT in CFW

Are you doing this?

1) start your switch normally into OFW
2) double press reset to get into bootloader mode
3) Flash this first... https://github.com/mattytrog/Ninten..._Pack/Version_1_trinket_rebug_joycon_only.uf2
4) power off your switch
5) power on again into OFW
6) flash this... https://github.com/mattytrog/Basic-Modchip-UF2/blob/master/UF2/Trinket_Rebug.UF2?raw=true
7) power off and attempt to boot into CFW
8) follow these steps to the letter. Let me know.

I'm thinking your chip is fitted the old method 3 way. Just as a quick test, try this UF2...

https://github.com/mattytrog/All-In..._Cross_Atlas44/4A98_Trinket_Legacy3_mode2.UF2

If it doesn't work, try this one... https://github.com/mattytrog/All-In...tytrog_Method3/4A98_Trinket_method3_mode2.UF2
