    Hacking Hardware Switch oled purple screen with chip and booting fine to ofw without it

    A purple screen is the Switch having a kernel panic because it cannot read the boot loader (either BOOT0 or BOOT1). The picofly injects custom boot0 data and does not use the boot0 from the emmc. After booting into hekate, it will use boot1 data from the original emmc and do some patching there...

    Hacking Hardware Misc Switch oled shorted and not booting after picofly install

    Coils can make a lot of noise when a short is present on the board. That usually stops when there is no power or something else breaks down. The Retrosix website has a good article on how to inject a voltage with a very low current to check whether the boot stages are fine or not. the OLED has...

    Hacking EMUMMC Unknow pkg1, SYSMMC HOS loads black screen

    Ok, with a V2 it usually means that the Hekate/Atmosphere version is too old for the firmware you're trying to run. Could you double check that the HATS package you downloaded is the latest one and that the hats packages was properly installed in the right folders. If you can boot Hekate, it...

    Hacking EMUMMC Unknow pkg1, SYSMMC HOS loads black screen

    If you have an unpatched / orignal v1 Switch, make sure the payload you inject is also matching the version of Hekate/Atmosphere. If you use an old payload with a newer version, you also get error messages like these.

    Headless Switch V1 (LCD motherboard connector broken)

    Emummc's are cryptomagically linked to each device so cloning an emummc from another Switch won't work afaik. I presume you have an unpatched V1 Switch. Hekate unfortunately does not support HDMI output so you need to do some of extra work with a PC to prepare the emummc : 1. Dump your NAND...

    Hacking Homebrew Unknown PKG1 Version, and HOS version not supported or emummc is corrupt found PKG1 but i have latest version of hekate and atmosphere and firmware

    Your sysCFW and stock OFW use the internal emmc. Your emummc uses a file or partition on the SD card and has nothing to do with the internal emmc. So the message is telling you that your emummc file/partition is broken or wasn't created correction. Just retry and maybe use another tutorial as...

    SysNAND and Atmosphère both black screen / frozen logo

    Does it still run on the battery without the charger plugged in? You need a healthy battery else both CFW/OFW will not boot. Check your fuse count in Hekate. Maybe the fuse count is too high for the OFW to boot past the logo. If you see the Nintendo logo then the BOOT0 and BOOT1 partition are...

    PS5 Slim (EDM-040) – Error 80871055 / 0.170A Amp Draw (SSD Controller Replaced

    Found this in the documentation of another Marvel SSD controller : 0x55 indicates a Failed NAND Flash Initialization / Bad NAND ID error. When the SSD powers on, the Marvell controller executes its core bootloader code (stored in its internal ROM). Its first job is to reach out across its...

    Hardware Please help Identify Switch V2 components

    The V2 has been poorly documented so maybe the OLED information can help you out : https://files.zzattack.org/index.php?dir=img%2Fconsole%2Fswitch%2Foled

    Invert Y (Right stick)

    Electronically it is just switching 2 signals. A good repairshop can easily add a small switch on your controller to make that happen.

    Help! Can't open games on nintendo Switch

    If you get grey icons, then you have installed only the update and not the base game.

    Hacking Homebrew Failed (?) Picofly install on Switch Lite. Please help!

    Poor solder joints or a badly seated DAT0 adapter can cause those green artifacts on your screen. Sometimes the DAT0 will warp a little bit due to heat from the APU and thus cause issues after booting successfully. Sometimes things look fie but still be causing problems. With a multimeter in...

    Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

    Your idea should work as I recall seeing it before. But aren't those wires way too thick for the eMMC BGA balls to connect to the board?

    Is it possible to make Switch-managed dirs/parts inaccessible to homebrew?

    Nintendo so far only looked at the ticket list of games installed on your Switch. Pirated games are also have tickets, but the signature of the ticket is incorrect. Problem with the sysMMC is that if you go into the sysMMC with a CFW and then install a pirated game, the ticket for that game...

    PS5 Slim EDm-044 RAM Issue?

    During the boot, there is only a very simple check if the dram chips are present and responding but it is far from a complete test. That is why the UART results might not be showing anything. What kind of artifacts do you see? If it is like pink dots or tearing images, then the dram might be...

    Backup restore from OFW to CFW

    Assuming the your OLED isn't chipped, your V2 isn't banned and has an emuMMC : you need to link each profile to a Nintendo account on the OLED to make save games available for transfer. Then you can set up those same accounts on your V2 on the OFW and transfer save games via a local transfer...

    PS5 slim (EDM-040) BLOD (10 seconds to infinite)

    Sounds like a full short of something related to the SSD Controller. That is also likely preventing the UART from functioning. Were there any signs of leaked liquid metal? It could be that some liquid metal is shorting a data line of the SSD controller either to the APU or RAM. issues with...

    Hacking modding ERRO HWFLY

    Somehow the attached video doesn't load for me. Errors that sometimes happen while other times everything works fine, usually indicate a bad connection somewhere. With a multimeter in diode mode, you can measure whether you have a good or bad connection. This is the same procedure as for the...

    did I brick my Switch?

    If AutoRCM is on, your USB port is fine and the drivers on your PC are working, then TegraRCMgui should recognize it. For an unpatched Switch those three things need to be working but sometimes issues with the USB port or drivers also become apparent at such times. If you just happened to...

    did I brick my Switch?

    Whatever you do in Hekate, it will only affect your CFW and your switch should boot into OFW without an SD card if you don't have autorcm enabled. If autorcm is enabled, you will only get a faint black screen (only visible in a dark room/ bathroom without windows). So maybe your autorcm is on...
