Wow, first, hardmod, then, bentpins, afterward, 3d printed jigs, and now, a mere safety pin.
I swear to god, Nintendo.
It's magnethax all over again
lol at first i thought the magnet trick was a hoax but it wasnt

1/2/7/9 are all ground I think, so pin 10 and any of those.Just 10th? Aren't you supposed to touch 1th as the same time?
Where is the pin 10, do i have to unscrew right hand side to get to it?
i hear if you do it on the switch side only, 9 seems do be dangerous in that it is sometimes grounded, while sometimes it has a current running, supposedly depending on some logical gate (dont ask me what that is).1/2/7/9 are all ground I think, so pin 10 and any of those.
I have it connected to pin 9 and no problems yet.i hear if you do it on the switch side only, 9 seems do be dangerous in that it is sometimes grounded, while sometimes it has a current running, supposedly depending on some logical gate (dont ask me what that is).
as for how this grounds the pin, the entire metal rail of the switch can serve as ground apparently. the only reason it doesnt is cause its painted with black, nonconductive paint.
i would venture a guess that the pin is touching part of the rails that has the black paint scratched off (i.e. where the pointy end of the pin is in the picture) enough to make contact and ground the pin.
i still don't quite understand how/if the pin is kept in place though. to deliver the payload, usb has to be connected meaning the switch will be on its back/lifted up at that point. if the pin is just losely resting against the pin, it would probably fall out or jiggle to other pins
you don't.Ok thanks mate, never realised you had to openit up

Yes, the rail is grounded, but I use button anyways.
The pin works as tablet home button. It is like androide home button. So when you press power + volume up + home you boot to recovery mode. And you need it for like half a sec. (it boots immediately to RCM)
a screwdriverAnyone else having success with anything else rather than a safety pin?
Really want to give this a go

note that the contacts are delicate, so be cautious what you push in there
@x0x0 just pin 10? Youre not touching 9&10 at same time in the image?
Yes i touching pin10.
I think pin is wide enough to at least partially touch the 9thchances are the pin is touching part of the rail that has the paint scratched off, thus grounding it. possibly wherever the pointy end of the pin is. pointy things have a tendency to scratch/pierce through the insulating paint layer
