Hmmm... Shouldn't have bricked. Does the console still go into RCM?

So the console isn't bricked. It still goes into RCM and the modchip delivers the payload just fine. However, when I try to update the modchip it does not show up as a device on my computer anymore, so I can't update it with latest version.

In other words, the modchip bootloader isn't functioning correctly.

I may have to setup OpenOCD and flash the bootloader via SWD to see if it resolves the issue.

Whats the difference between this and Hekate?

This is a quite in-depth modification of Hekate that is suited to our chips.

All Hekate features, plus:

Browse and boot any payload / INI

Add payload to hekate_ipl.ini

Safe backup of BOOT0/1 & PRODINFO

Restore ChoiDuJour cut-down BOOT0/1

Restore SXOS licence

Payload.bin launching and multiple payload feature(controlled by your SAMD chip) as well - like having multiple chips in your machine!

Modchip information on main display

Additional controls:

From boot:

Hold Vol- to override launching "payload.bin"
Hold BOTH Vol buttons to prevent launching nyx

Changelog: Hekate_Switchboot_Mod v5.1.1

Hekate upstream changes

Switchboot code is now much more modular, so aids faster updates

The main program is standard Hekate, with the exception of:

payload.bin / payload<x>.bin override

Browser integrated for browsing payloads / INIs

Removed features that people didn`t use (SXOS multiNAND)

Switchboot options now in submenu

Changelog: v1.5.3beta

Full wear-levelling to extend the already infinite life of your chip, by changing how writes and rewrites are handled. Thanks to @MatinatorX for original idea and example code!

UF2 drive access from vol+ button(if strap is fitted of course) - Simply hold for around 12 seconds, a white blinking light will appear. Turn off console, disconnect from USB, turn on and reconnect - UF2 drive up!

Flat battery assistance for autoRCM && autoboot users. If flat battery is detected, your device will no longer bootloop in the dock - it will begin to charge. Once sufficient charge to avoid bootloop, console will start to complete charging. There is no configuration on this - its all automagic. If battery is too flat, Hekate / Switchboot will no longer run your battery until it physically cant provide power anymore, it will display a Horizon-esque graphic telling you to charge battery before shutting off console

Fixed a stupid bug where I forgot to mount the SD card, leading to black screens for some users.

Ability to enable / disable payload.bin or payload(x).bin from within the menu

Ability to automatically turn off console when you disconnect USB in RCM mode. In the boot settings.

Other bugfixes and probably new bugs. Because I`m an imbicile.

Changelog: v1.5.0

Hekate 5.0.2 upstream changes

Backup / restore completely reworked. Kamikaze option of restoring any partition from anywhere, using any file. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

Improved standard backup options

Fw v9.0.0 support

Bugfixes galore.

Changelog: v1.4.3

Fixed browser returning to wrong place. Thanks @Gismor for bringing it to my attention

Changed archive bit options so you can browse and set / unset bits on a folder-by-folder basis.

Optimised code in MultiNAND to cut down on payload stack space usage.

Corrected safe backup location to SD root as it should be - was in backup folder.

Typos and nonsensical results fixed.

Documented(ish) browser.c function.

Changelog: v1.4.2

Almost completely re-implemented the VOL+ options

Made LEDs during these options RED, GREEN and BLUE

Launching should be faster

DragonInjector support refactored and should be improved

Changed menu options to make even clearer

Every option more or less has been redone

File browser takes you to default Hekate folders by default. You can still browse for payloads / INIs from there!

Added option to disable payload indication

Changelog: v1.4.1

Typos fixed. Some character spacing corrected.

Battery and fuel gauge options added - Be careful with them!

Screenshot feature added.

New screenshots no longer overwrite old ones (like in 1.3.x)

Refactoring of colours. Look in gfx/gfx.h to see how to change colours to your liking.

Changed to black and green colour scheme again. I like it.

Removed dump pkg1/2 option to make space. It isn`t really required in our implementation.

If booting with no SD card, upon attempting to launch, you will see a stock option to launch OFW. This is just a dupe of Reboot(normal).

Fusee-UF2 has been moved to Fusee-Suite which is HERE.

Where do I put the bootloader folder?

It will make it upon first boot. But it is in SD root.

Why does is say to download a bootloader folder then?
also what do i do with the 3V arrow on the trinket M0 guide that goes nowhere?

OH yes...

There is a new minerva.

Download the bootloader folder, copy over and put latest Atmosphere on there.

The 3v arrow is an alternative point. It is showing you where to connect to if you want to use a different point.

Troubleshooting assistance needed. After running Trinket M0 chip for a while, I am now noticing the switch is not charging.

Plugging in multiple usb c chargers shows the charging icon, but battery does not increase.

Switchboot shows charge rate around 10-20ma, but never higher. Im on v1.5.3beta

I’m ready to pull it apart and recheck all of the wiring.

Hmmm...

My first thought would be check your wiring. Check you haven't bridged anything around the usb strap

Thx. I re-flowed the usb strap, d+ and d- and everything is working again.

So I fixed it by booting the switch all the way to the home menu, holding the power button and going into sleep mode and then double pressing the modchip reset button to get into bootloader update mode and connecting the USB cable.

Hey dudes. I was about to do one of these installs. I flashed Part 1 without issue. Then after Flashing Trinket.UF2 The Trinket M0 just gets 8 flashing red lights and isn't detected by my PC. This doesn't seem like normal behavior. Is this normal? If not is there a fix for restoring the Trinket to stock and restarting? any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Yes its normal. The Trinket is in Host mode. This means it is listening. So it cannot register as a device as it ISNT a device and it is looking for the Switch.

A bit like plugging two PCs together via USB. They are both listening, and will only talk back when it hears something talking to it.

Modzvilleusa · Jan 13, 2020

Thanks for the reply my dude!
So to be clear, is the only way to flash it with update files at this point is to do so with the trinket installed in the switch using the payload method?

No not at all.

Just press reset twice. Might take a few tries until you get your timing right. But when you do, a drive will open up containing "TRINKET.UF2" or whatever.

Awesome thank you!

Two Quick Questions!
Is the 3.3v point (Near Joycon Stap) Linked to the pad to the left of it? As in can I bridge those two pads like the 2 joycon rail pads? It looks like they are but It's so damn tiny I can't really get the angle with my multimeter.
Also what exactly does the Vol + strap do? I do want the duel boot set up (powers on normally with power, Vol+ + power for Hekate) Will I be able to achieve this without connecting the Vol+ Strap.
Thanks again for all of your hard work my dude!

Fusee_Suite updated.

V6 full changelog:

Improved button polling for faster boot.
Long-press VOL+ has a "progress" graphic
Refactored all variables for easier hexediting
Screensaver added (bouncing Nintendo logo - can be toggled by button press (Blink 4 VOL+ long press)
Boot animations added - (1 = no bootlogo at all, 2 = static, 3 = sliding, 4 = wiping, 5 = "glitching")
Change colours of bootlogo and text (either Hexedit, or change in Arduino. Very easy to do!)
Screen dimming after period of inactivity
Tidied menus
Removed SD mount / remount upon every boot attempt - Speeds things up
New "button control" graphic on main screen. Less intrusive.
BLZ more assets, change colours upon decompression... Sneaky.
Typos and bugfixes behind the scenes. New ones probably added. I`m that daft.

In Fusee Suite OP now.

Thanks man, worked at first try!

Im back from my Holiday in New Zealand.
Now i will update my rebug.
I see there is a new thread called Fusee Suite.
What is current the best option for a permament cfw boot?
the new Fusee Suite or here the switchboot?

mattytrog · Jan 23, 2020

Hello everybody.

Really really sorry I haven`t been around.

Illness has struck yet-a-bleedin-gain.

Got 20 inbox messages to read. Going to be a long night.

If I can help anyone, let me know.
