hold the boot button, connect to pc while holding the button and then drag the .uf2 onto the pico (it'll appear as a storage device)

thank you , it s like trinket.
You send me a bin.pdf so I am confuse because you talk about UF2 file.

If I got cpu flex I only need 47ohms resistors ?

the bin.pdf is currently work in progress, we're trying to reverse engineer the drm. the current uf2 that can boot into hekate is this (rename it and remove the .pdf)

yes, for dat0, clk and cmd pins

Thank you last question, I don't find the diagram to rely the line of the flex to the CPU point of pico.
I think there is only 1 point of installation who rely the flex cable to the pico

 

[saladus]

I'm sorry, I don't think i understand. you mean how to connect the cpu flex to the pico? if that's the case, i think you're supposed to connect pins 3 and 4 of your cpu flex ribbon to the cpu pin on the pico

So, now we have working rp2040 modchip? What are the limitations and problems of the method at the moment? Should we start making video guides about installing it?

 

[saladus]

the current limitations are that it can't boot into hos from hekate and that it's closed source. i think we should wait a bit more for the video guides, people are gonna be underwhelmed

only limitation is launching hos. At first we got encrypted uf2. Then one polite person created a new account and dropped working firmware with no hos supported (no piracy is possible at this moment). But this is all what i needed.

 

[saladus]

hey hey hey hold up, what do you mean piracy, this project is only for running homebrew right?

welp, I binned it. Lite is dead

 

[nerirififi]

This pic?

Yes thank you.

So if we patch boot0 and boot1 with stock maybe that boot hos ?
We can boot CFW or not ? it s not clear at all

sleep well sweet prince

What about vol+/-? I see someone in thread, who said its run hos
has anyone tried to download linux?

Holding both boots stock.

 

[saladus]

Yes thank you.

we can boot into stock hos by holding down vol+ and vol-. we can boot into hekate and apparently ubuntu or android

But not on CFW yet ?

 

[saladus]

no, not yet

I think you can revive it, but you should practice, there are videos on youtube with restoring bga pins
