Greetings
I need help
I installed rp2040 zero and when I turn on the console after the normal blue led, an orange light appears, what should I check?

Hi, I get the same on a switch lite, blue then orange for a split second then console turns on as normal..I have redone it a couple of times and still the same, using 47r and V2 flex cable...did you resolve your issue?

OFW - update from the OFW (true OFW boot using Vol+/Vol-) or Full Stock mode (no atmo patches applied) using WiFi
EmuNAND - any method is fine, when you are in EmuNAND, real BOOTs should not be touchadd ed.

add OFW (hakate using reboot OFW)?

it will because the RST still goes through the motherboard into the slot for the EMMC. It's just going to work. The RST that got broke off is on the EMMC, not the entire pin going to the motherboard.

well if u still have connection to the emmc then thats no problem

I'd just like to thank everyone involved in this, obviously a big thanks to the guy(s) behind the firmware but also to everyone else involved. I modded my Lite a few days ago and its working like a charm.

also hangs after nintendo screen.
its worth noting i had the same issue on a mariko v2 console - rp2040 - zero - on the mariko i replaced with a hwfly chip asi assumed maybe i did something wrong but the hwfly chip worked fine, (using same cables and mosfet)
i tried today with a different rp2040 zero board and a fresh install in an oled, same behaviour as before,
works fine on 2.5_nw_toshiba_fix
but 2.6a and 2.61hangs after nintendo logo everytime on boot ofw (just pressing vol+/- on no sd screen, and also in hekate reboot, ofw)

My V1 patch also has this issue in fw2.61 and keeps displaying this screen. I haven't tried any other FW versions.

my rp2040 doesn't show any lights when flashing. It shows blue -> purple light when I press reset. I tried clean with nuke file and flash 2.61 again but still no light. Is my chip faulty?

The RP2040 ZERO USB port has been removed and the chip can enter CFW/OFW. It does not affect the use, only reflects the problem.

there her people with the same problem on 2.6

after flashib 2.5 toshiba solved the issue

only desolder the usb after u installed the rp2040 and kno there is no issue going on . Picofly is still in development it is not 100%issue free most of the time it works but there are still some small issues here and there

I answered the question it's blue and then purple when it's flashed..no green no orange it's purple...I am gonna try another rp2040 in case it's a dodgy one..

 

[Dee87]

I answered the question it's blue and then purple when it's flashed..no green no orange it's purple

no u did not when u flash the rp2040 after u drop the .uf2 file on the rp2040 and look at it it should give u a "success" color thats eather read or green

try 2.5 toshiba firmware see if that works if it works just use it for now

He wants to know the color immediately after flashing, before you unplug the chip, not just resetting an already flashed chip.

Chances are also that your purple is meant to be cyan and you need to set the RGB jumper. Cyan indicates a bad connection to the mosfet.
