Hacking eMMC error - dead internal memory

[chankarik]

They seem normal.
The capacity now/full/design is normal to be like this, because you removed the battery and haven't booted into HOS to restore them.

As for charging I have a special hekate that restores the battery stat regs to a pristine condition backup.
If I can find it I can send it to you so you can test battery charging properly. Did you use official charger or PC for the charging photo?
(From the stats it seems it's PC)

Whew, finally some good news. XD

As you have correctly stated, yes, it was the pc connected to it. Should I take another picture with the official charger?

Also, if you manage to find the hekate you've mentioned, I would like to give it a try, yes!

After all this is said and done, I plan a little surprise to offer everyone who's been involved so far. This all means a lot to me.

My switch nand borked. Can i buy the nand that is already in a module, from china, and replace the nand module and follow raj's superb guide to rebuilt the new nand, then boot with atmosphere and it will work? If OFW wont work, at least it will work on Atmos's CFW?

Yes eBay have them, if you have a backup of your nand then you should be ok, fit new nand, boot in rcm and restore nand!

Info for those with dead emmc.

Did you found 128GB or 256GB nand chip already?

I found the 64, can’t find a 128 at a good price. Would be happy if I could find the 128 as would do with that, if you find one please post a link.

I posted on the other thread.

There are few:
SDINBDA4-256G
H26T99001MCR
KLMEG8UCTA-B041
KLMEG8UERM-C041
All are BGA153 emmc, it seems that as long as the emmc is BGA153, it will be compatible, but I could be wrong.


And for the 256GB :

About USD52 without shipping.
I can get it shipped to me for about USD5, but I don't have the expertise to solder such delicate SMD chip.

I have the funds, able to order from Taobao and ship to me, just not the skills and tools to replace the nand chip.
Sucks to be us I guess.

Hello everyone.
Today I received a 64GB emmc module presoldered on a different board.
Because the new board have different ID, I cannot use it to recover my switch (My emmc module is dead).
I have tried to restore my nand backup to it, but it don't boot at all -> PKG2 decryption failed.

 

[chankarik]

The new emmc board and chip has finally arrived from China.

I will try replacing the old one. Wish me luck.

GODSPED Chankarik

 

[chankarik]

It's alive.

I can barely believe it, but it was indeed the emmc after all.

Now to restore the backup!

I have thank all of you in a heartfelt, special way, for all the time and suggestions throughout the whole ordeal. And I will do so, by making a video explaining the case (which might be a first in the country where I live, since there are zero records everywhere) to have a register of the problem for future troubles other people may have, and naming each one of you who participated by giving me hints and insights.

I will update this topic with the video.
