Hacking Question Permanent Violet Screen on Switch.

[magico29]

can you get back into memloader, get into eMMC UMS mode, and restore your GPT ? i think i got a violet error like that when i intentionally corrupted the GPT CRC
a valid GPT is included here as gpt_prefix.bin https://files.sshnuke.net/hekate2rawnand.zip
just open the UMS device in hex workshop as disk then go restore sectors and choose the gpt_prefix.bin file and write it to sector 0

make a full eMMC backup before doing that though, i don't think you actually lost anything

this do not affect my consoles firmware? i am on 1.0.0.

i restored boot0 and boot1 in backup/restore/"HERE"
also i put in : backup/restore/partitions/ "all the partitions files like bcpkg2 ......"
I just put the small files , but i guess the more important are boot0/1

I just restore with my backup files and I'm getting message saying..
Unknown Package1,
Version (= ' ').
Failed to launch firmware.

I don't see any error message while in restore.
Does any one know how to fix this? I did restore before and there was no issue but I donno why Im getting this message now..

Someone should make homebrew that causes errors so we can choose which colour to look at

 

[rogerbchevalier95]

Purple screen on a modded Oled is almost certainly the CMD resistor. The value should be 4.7k. It looks like they used 30awg which is way too thick, likely broke the resistor terminal. swap those wires for 36awg. the clk via under the heatspreader is also very brittle and the most difficult point. If they used 30awg there it's likely been ripped.
