Hwfly Oled randomly boots OFW

[Bukaz]

Hi, I installed hwfly oled v3, soldering is perfect. But I randomly have a bug: when I turn on or rebooting console, the mod chip is glitching a little but then OFW is straight loading without Hekate.
This happens in 30-50% of starting/ rebooting system.
I've reset the mod chip, changed cables, nothing is helping.
System is 14.1.1, still no luck after update to 14.1.2
Dat0 is permanently soldered

id say the Dat0 is loose or not making contact properly...I have one and it boots fine every time.

If I have dat0 problem then switch won't boot OFW. Dat0 is soldered to nand as I wrote before

try this then...could be a config issue.

and is the HWFly chip your using flashable?

Chip is unflashable v3. OFW is loading without SD too

hi, my oled also have this problem last night blinking purple led then load to ofw without to hekate

Try to use jig and volume up when booting up. To reset the chip

That's completely normal afaik. I had a v3 unflashable chip before and out of 5-10 cold boots, the chip would act up and fail to glitch the soc (purple led stops pulsing and freezes, then turns off, console boots straight to ofw). Next boot takes a long time as if the chip is re-training itself, but consequent boots are much faster, till the chip freezes again. Sometimes it will also show the no sd error screen, although i never touched sd card. I measured every single soldering point and there's no contact issue. I also reflowed the emmc chip to make sure it's not a dat0 adapter problem.

I eventually gave up and sold that console, and switched to v4 flashable version. I don't think there's anything wrong with your installation, just the chip being unstable. If it bugs you so much you can consider switching to v4 chip. Btw the soc qsb flex cable comes with v3 isn't compatible with v4, if you decide to switch to v4, be very careful when desoldering the flex cable as you can easily damage those 2 smd capacitors.

yes, maybe the hwfly v4 flashable modchip is the final solution

hi frenz, i,m follow the de9ed suggested jig guide it really worked for our hwfly oled unflashable chip.
1. confirm off your switch oled
2. insert jig
3. press + volume and follow by on button, at this moment dont left + button until u see red light.
4. press power button 15 seconds
5. on your switch... u will see green light agian and boot to hekate..!!!

Good job

that only resets the chip, I've tried that multiple times and it doesn't improve the stability in any way. Reboot like 5-10 times the chip will get stuck at purple led again. Also when the chip gets stuck it will reset itself, since the next cold boot takes about half minute.

your are right,after i change to hwfly oled v4 modchip i can boot to hekate immediately everytime i reboot
