I gotta eat my hat on this one, i was so sure it was all BS and said so a few times, guess i was way off..sorry.

to think that someone would put this all together themselves, then try to sell it on craigslist, then disappear and everything be reversed/solved by the members in this thread from the photos is truly incredible.. congratulations and thank you all.

Anyone got a modchip on a OLED installed and a multimeter (and possibily the courage to do some scratching of soldermask?).

RED = DAT0, the image moves so I think it's the 2nd bottom.
GREEN = possible area it leads to.
BLUE, PURPLE, PINK = Areas that needs to be probed. Since they seem to go to the CPU after their transistor.

I have to agree with others, I'd rather try my hand at re-balling than going through the mb layers. I think there are three layers to get through before you reach the DAT0 point and then you need to manage to solder it without damaging it or grounding it. I know it's a huge YMMV but my single corner DAT0 adapter has been working flawlessly after only two tries.

I wonder if just heading the chip up and sticking a cable in to the point is a more sure fireway than the ankor. I know the best is to do like The Cod3r do and properly reball, but not everyone have the skills for that.

That's essentially what people are doing with the adapters. Get it lined up, then hit the chip with hot air and hope that you get the dat0 ball to liquify and grab the adapter tip.

yes except for disable automated backing up of your save data because fresh switch and no acc connected
also no files where deleted so i havent had to copy any new files
Thing is, I can’t find anything about that abort code when launching fusee.

You might want to hit the support discord for Atmosphere.

Can you try to put the fusee.bin in the root of your sd card? I've done that once and it booted fine after that. Even tho it shouldn't be there?

@Dee87

You might also get somewhere on GitHub but I dont think what we have here is a bug. GitHub is for bugs and not support.

Can you load sysNAND? Not OFW. Will Atmosphere launch through sysNAND and not emuNAND?

Format your card whit exfat and this tool.
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter/

After this put your cfw files (whit hekate) on it and boot to hekate.
Format your card inside hekate to fat32 whit the partition tool.
thank u i will try that
