First things first, I should start by saying that if you have an OLED-specific clone chip you're fine.

Anyways, all HWFLY Lite chips come with Spacecraft v1. For those that don't know, Spacecraft v1 sets certain pins to 5V that shouldn't be set to that on an OLED.

You can find more info in the readme of my application here: https://github.com/Pheeeeenom/payloadchecker

All this application does is check the payload that's currently written and checks it to verified hashes stored in the program.

Steps to follow are:

Boot hekate
Dump BOOT0
Check it on application

If you have a genuine modchip, update it to the latest Spacecraft v2 before you install it into an OLED.

The OLED-specific modchip also comes with broken USB debugging, if you want to fix this issue you will need to write this repaired firmware binary.

Can someone tell me what I should do with the oled chip I have coming to ensure I don't mess my oled up. The chip I'm getting should have the usb port. Also I've seen they have bad sd card support but that you can fix that? How would I do that?

They don't have bad SD card support, whoever told you that is lying. The payload I made has improved SD card support thanks to other developers. I simply added it and compiled it. The improvement helps Kingston cards and some Samsung cards. To add the OLED chip is fine.

I don't know the source of mjd515's comment.

I found a mention on the Twitter feed of @sthetixofficial on January 6.
The quote was, "This new OLED chip is picky, not all micro sd cards work with it (either as exFAT or FAT32)."

I believe the payload you mentioned has improved on that.

Thanks so much for replying! How can I use your payload on the chip?

Full disclosure: it improves SD card compatibility but worsens glitching on the OLED. I'm still tinkering with it

hwfly chip power supply is 3.3v from pcb. no 5v ovltage output .

 

[Ericthegreat]

Im way out of the loop, didnt know oled could be hacked, other then this any drawbacks to using this vs reg switch hacking?

 

[Kupie]

So... 3.3v regulator time?

The 5v is from the power management of spacecraft v0.1 ( not compatible with OLED )

 

[sofakng]

Does anybody know of this is the latest (most recent) OLED version of the HWFLY?

If so, is this safe to use on OLED? Is it possible to update in the future?

I received a SX Lite and have not installed it.
What is the easiest way to update it to v2?

 

[Mena]

Run the batch file in the spacecraft v2 release

 

[grubgrub]

Run the batch file in the spacecraft v2 release

Awesome, so i just connect the SX lite to the computer and run the batch file?

The OLED-specific modchip also comes with broken USB debugging, if you want to fix this issue you will need to write this repaired firmware binary.

So, I'm still bit confused about this part. I have the OLED chip on green background coming. It has USB debugging broken and presumably issues with my 512GB Samsung SD card? Do I have to flash the repaired firmware over USB to fix USB debugging? What is meant by "USB debugging"? Ability to freely flash any spacecraft-nx version?

 

[allenhori]

Which OLED-specific modchip are you referring to? I've seen 2 different versions so just wondering if both are ok or just one of them?
I've ordered the one with the white background so can't test it myself as it hasnt arrived yet and I don't want to install it if it's going to cause damage. So do you know if that is a ok OLED modchip to use?

Thanks for any help.

if you ordered the one with white background (no usb debugging port but with a new ribbon cable) from Taobao, I’ve just got a clarification from their tech guy on YouTube it uses spacecraft v2.

Damn, looks like he just put the OLED one up for sale.

I ordered this one from him on Wednesday and it was picked up by the courier already for international shipping by the time I saw this thread.

Do you think you can ask him if this one has v0.2.0? I sent him a message through Taobao, but no reply yet.

Connect it to the pc and use the tool when you download the firmware.

Me too bought the lite right before they put up the oled specific version. I’m 95% sure it’s v1 and can’t be flashed. I do however see people selling the original SX Lite on Xianyu which is like a sub-brand of Taobao, without the oled specific cables but also cheap. Around as cheap as 700CNY. Best bet is to invest in that.
Btw, there’s no returns/exchange for the item, I had a chat with their support on Taobao last night (Reason I ordered the oled specific model on top of lite). The response I got was from about an hour ago and I didn’t know it uses v2. I was hoping to reprogram it using gd-link but guess I don’t need it now.

 

[Tembokbesi]

Xianyu sells second hand, aka used, products.

That’s why they don’t allow returns or exchanges.

You’re getting an used SX Lite, probably removed from a dead console.

im selling my switch lite with sx lite inside last week and now i use oled with hwfly which is dont know the version but it seem v2/3 with spacecraft v1

Dunno what I'm going to do with my hwfly lite now. Not sure if I should order the new OLED one, lol.
