Purple flashing and then green is good.

What hWFLY firmware are you using?

What are you using for your /payload.bin file?

Try to copy hekate.x.x.x.bin to payload.bin in the top directory of your SDCard and see if you can get hekate running.

You bought it preinstalled? In the original post it sounded like you had just installed it.
2. Idk what you mean
thanks for the picture…it shows you have a payload.bin file in place. Do you know where that file came from Or did you get it pre-installed by someone else?
3. I dont have an hekate.x.x.x.bin file
The x.x.x is replace by the version of Hekate that you would download from the Hekate GitHub.

If you remove the SDCard it boots to Hekate?

1. I Bought the chip from aliexpress and he said to me fw is preinstalled on the hwfly chip

2.i downloaded the hats Pack from shetix

3. maybe i didnt downloaded it right because i dont know what you mean with the x.x.x File.
Do i need to install hekate to the sd card?

4. Yes but i cant go to ofw by Pressing - or +

Got it. it still might be worth flashing the firmware again.
2.i downloaded the hats Pack from shetix
Sthetix HATS pack usually just works.
I’m curious about what could have gone wrong so now I’m back to wondering about the HWFLY firmware again.
3. maybe i didnt downloaded it right because i dont know what you mean with the x.x.x File.

You do have Hekate installed in /bootloader. It is a part of HATS pack. No need to update the payload as HATS comes with the right one.
4. Yes but i cant go to ofw by Pressing - or +
removing the SDCard and booting a mod-chipped Switch typically gets you to the SDCard warning

Here’s mine:

Is that what you mean when you say Hekate?

In the video they remove a ribbon cable just to get to the power cable. I don’t believe the ribbon cable has anything to do with the solution. After disconnecting the power they are removing the cables to the modchip and powering on to get OFW without the modchip interfering at which point it goes to error mode because the modchip can’t see the Switch. They then reverse the connections and power up normally and the chip works. It’s certainly worth a shot.

e: flashing the firmware is still an option:

https://github.com/hwfly-nx/firmware (0.7.1 is the good one)

samsung sdcards are absolutely fine. That’s not the issue, but if it will make them happy, try a sandisk.

What happened? Does it still boots to "NO SD" screen without the SD card?

I had as well a static green on V4, but I never managed to get something on the screen. It was firmware related and THIS one solved it.
Hi im here from my other account i uninstalled the hwfly v5.3 chip and i could not boot into ofw i think i messed up the emmc now im searching for a fix or give it to an professional repair guy

Sorry this has nothing to do with the thread but you have PB disabled...

Is there any chance you can compile InfoNX again but working for FW16+? (You compiled the old one).

I have grabbed a new one from 4IFIR mod but it's now totally different...

    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
