"what is the risk? software of hardware?"
This is my opinion might be wrong. In hardware-wise theres should be no problem. But in software-wise, if you use the vanilla rp2040, then you might take the usb out from the board. So you could only update using toolbox.bin. If something error, and the glitch wont work, then to revert back you need to uninstall the rp2040 from the mainboard and put the usb port back.

Thanks! One more question before i am going to attempt this. In guide i see i need to put the firmware with ".bin" ending. The picofly firmware has ".uf" ending.
Does this mean that the ".uf" has to be compressed into ".bin" (in case i downloaded ".uf")?
Also is 2.76 safe for usage? Is it confirmed?

Theres 2 method to update the rp2040 firmware, choose one of it:
v2.76.uf2 => This is installed by putting the rp2040 into boot mode (press and hold the boot button and plug the usb to the pc, then release the button). There will be new storage shows on the explorer, then drag-n-drop that file to the drive shown.
update.bin => This is copy-pasted into the microsd root, then goes to the toolbox and do update.
Im confused now. Did it work or not (how can i check my current picofly firmware)?
First boot was straight to OFW.
Now the chip works,it glitches.

So this did not fix my problem. I still have error in OFW. Im doing a emmc sthetix LVL 1 repair, and i got this error. What does this mean? View attachment 398273
Ok so. I checked picofly version and i was still on 2.73. I tryed several times more to update, and it finnaly worked.
After attempting to do a new NAND write from scratch with prodinfo, OFW was stuck on logo . So i did a NAND restore to my old NAND save (the one that i was getting 3539 error on ).
Now when trying to start OFW i get this screen

Go practice on a bunch of (unrelated) boards because you need both the skills and to figure out if you even have the right equipment for the job.
Things are really tiny and it's rather easy to mess up.
If you go working on your switch straight away, you'll probably ruin it.
The emmc is totally bricked now I was doing a emmc restore from an older state, and i got error+ slow emmc warning when flashing. Now i am unable to glitch. I get *=* No eMMC block 0 read (eMMC init failure?) or =** eMMC init failure during glitch process (if i take the emmc out and put it back,battery unplugged dont worry).
I dont really feel bad about bricking it (that is a lie ) since i already tought about it as a dead nintendo.This nintendo gave me so many problems. I wonder if i should declare it as for parts and be done with it and move on with my life, or if i should make a final attempt and buy this product in order to try to rewrite the emmc (i have a nand restore wich i suspect is not good, BUT I HAVE THE PRODKEYS)

A wow that is very stupid.
If i keep pressure with my finger on the emmc connector, i am able to glitch :| I think i have a damaged plastic connector or connector pins. Super glue time . Im JOKING. Agh i really hope i wont have to change board connector X_X
So hear me out. I have another theory. Once the console was getting hot, even in CFW the screen would freeze. What was happening i think, was the emmc was getting disconnected since it doesnt have a perfect connection. That might not matter since i was basically booting from SD card, but it might have had some effect on the processor (the connecting and disconnecting of the emmc) resulting in it to stall and freeze ?
I had some flux into the connector.After cleaning it with cotton and alcohool (very carefully) it wont even glitch when i am putting pressure on the connector XD its like... evolving BUT BACKWARDS XD
Changed my connector because it looked like sht. Still no luck.
