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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

I already broke it now I have to fix it

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.

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...
