hwfly-nx firmware

[LordRahl72]

I just received my Hwfly Oled 4th Generation V4 Chip from what I assume is the official shop on Aliexpress. I asked the seller through the Aliexpress chat option if I should upgrade the chip before I install it with firmware from THIS link. Their reply is that the chip ships with version 0.3.1, which is the best version. But 0.3.1 seems like a considerably older version than the current 0.7.1 on the github page for the firmware.

Is there a reason I should not update to 0.7.1 and stay on the 0.3.1 the seller suggested?

I have not installed the chip yet, but plan to do it this weekend. But I figured if I was going to update it, I should do it before I install it if needed.

I ended up flashing it to 0.7.1 with no issues. Now I get to have fun installing it.

I was on the same boat (same 4th gen, v4 chip), and attempted to flash 0.7.1 but I keep getting "No device detected" and then "Spacecraft-NX DFU not found". Tried lower firmware versions as well, but nothing worked.

Did you run across similar issues as well?

If you are using windows 10 you don't need to install any driver, plug it in and it should work. Go to device manager and check if you can see a new COM port. On earlier windows version driver is required, I think I saw someone installed android CDC driver and it works

Nope, just ran the update command and worked on the first try using Windows 11.

Installing the chip, however...well that's another matter entirely lol

Nope, not really. The CLK point got me.

Can someone help me please I solder the chip 4th gen v2. Is it supposed to start up normally? What screen should it go to so I know I properly did it?

I updated to 7.1, then my oled wouldn’t complete training, tried everything, reverted back to 6.2 which was solid.

everything works on 6.2? How long did you wait for 7.1 to finish training?

What vendor does Hekate show in eMMC info? Is it Hynix? People (including myself) seem to have issues where Hynix NANDs cause the chip to attempt (and fail) to rewrite the bootloader resulting in failed boots seemingly at random. If it happens again check if your Switch shows up in RCM mode on your PC.

20 minutes, the hwfly-nx instructions stay it usually takes 5 minutes.
