Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

[Kurull123]

Hi everyone, I am new to this theme, can someone please tell me what I need to buy to install picofly on my switch lite? (links to the components used and some sort of tutorial are welcome)

I personally use 34awg magnet wire as impeeza said, and yea 30awg for power

is 36AWG UL10064 teflon wire good for all?

 

[_kedo_]

yes, resistor only to avoid noise.

should we use a pull-down resistor on the G when installing MOSFET directly
to the APU?

As described by @SQc04:
"The pull-down resistor keeps the gate of the FET low in the default state,
and if there is no resistance, the default state of the gate of the FET is
high-impedance, which may cause the FET to be turned on until it burns.
The resistance value of the pull-down resistor is about 1~10KΩ"

It sounds reasonable and hwfly cable has this resistor AFAIK.

Or maybe your fw pulls-down it programmatically?

firmware has a pull-down. even without a pull-down (firmware startup period), rp2040 acts as a very weak pulldown

yes, resistor only to avoid noise.

What about using a pull down resistor something like 10k ohm to the ground before 47 ohm maybe it Will fix the noise?

Yep, thats the same with what i think about how mosfet works with pull down resistor to the ground

Did you flash the unlock file?

how to flash it?

how to flash it?

how to flash it says no unlock.bin found

 

[NooBziN]

3x 47 ohm resistors

1x 20 ohm resistor RST

 

[rv03]

1x 20 ohm resistor RST

20 resistor or 200 resistor?

 

[NooBziN]

20 resistor or 200 resistor?

200 = 20 ohm and 470 = 47 ohm

 

[rv03]

200 = 20 ohm and 470 = 47 ohm

is that correct also 20r?

 

[rehius]

1x 20 ohm resistor RST

20 K, only in some very rare cases

 

[rv03]

1x 20 ohm resistor RST

and also what is the uses? of putting 20ohm on rst

 

[NooBziN]

20 K, only in some very rare cases

only R

Hey guys, long time lurker first time poster. Finally did the mod, it glitches and boots Hekate fine. Using 51ohm resistors because I read somewhere that Toshiba eMMC's prefer a higher resistance. I ran the picofly unlocker payload and all that and it said it flashed successfully.

Anyways, I get this error anytime I try to boot Stock or EmuMMC. I'm also seeing that my secure boot key is all F's and my Cal0 is corrut.

I got this error to but you can backup boot0/boot1 first from hekate the restore the backup again coz it's work for me

Did you just make this up? Why?

how to flash update.bin on hekate.? where to put the files
