Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

[bvang913]

I had this issue and then I checked my Data 0 and it was not getting any voltage. I had to solder the cable on a little better and it fixed my issue.

Well he has the chip that sockets onto the emmc. And his error code is for the mosfet/flex cable. So as long as he fixes that hopefully it'll work. If he had a clear photo of his flex solder points we could have a better look. He hasn't reported back since yesterday morning so maybe he hasn't gotten to it yet.

If your console yellow light blinking boot ofw try flex cpu or 2 mosfet it is working for me for long time try boot to cfw read point so wired change to 2 read in multimeter and after change mosfet to flex fix it and the dat0 adapter not reson If GIVE YOU 0.786 or 0.697v.... This happen for 2 console lite and oled... Any One have same problem.

Can anyone tell me if this is the correct version of the capacitor to repair sp1 and sp2? (0201; 1uf; 6.3v)

yes, spec is correct

Are thease three pads all connected to the GND?
I accidentally bridged them with solder and have real trouble to wipe it. If they are all connected to the ground I don't need to spend more hours trying to disconnect them from each other.
Please help

No problem, all 3 are connected

Thank you, man. You're a lifesaver

The 3.3v on v1 is also tricky. Is there any alternative on the MOBO?

I successfully installed the picofly on this, but it takes so long to boot. I want to add sda and scl but can't find the points.

Edit:
I replaced 100 ohm with normal 47 ohm resistors, and now she boots instantly.

Has anyone managed to fix a failed kamikaze attempt where the via is gone? I thought maybe if I connected the trace from the CPU side to the dat0 point on the eMMC then it would restore it but sadly it doesn't. Just a black screen.

Hello,

I have a switch OLED, the first one I modded without tools and obviously that I "killed" back then but today I got skills and knowledge and the console works perfectly.

What I did :
- APU reballed to fix CLK line,
- eMMC reballed for permanent D0,
- CMD resistor replaced,
- SP1 / SP2 capacitor replaced,
- Joycon sliders replaced,
- OLED screen connector replaced

But I still have one minor issue on this one specifically, sometime the Picofly give me the error **= or *=*.

Without minimum 100ohms on D0 line I can't glitch the console, error =*.

Which combination of resistor should I add on the pico ? I did more than 30 OLED mods and most of the time I need no resistors or just 47ohms on D0. But with all these fixes this one is more sensible.

Just wanted to share several photos of this installation.
1 MOSFET on the back side of MOBO.

I installed my pico over a year ago and I soldered mosftet to capacitor on CPU. I haven't followed this topic much since then and now I see you soldered your mosfet to a capacitor that is somewhere else on Motherboard. Is this something new? Does that mean there is no need to solder to CPU anymore?

Never mind, found it. https://gbatemp.net/threads/picofly-a-hwfly-switch-modchip.622701/post-10194492

I installed my chip around march/april so that explains a lot.

One customer GIVE his son nintendo switch lite cfw mod 18.0.1 emummc he dont know what he do in console the charge port one pin was move from place and littel hope can fix it it is fine back in place inside port the msg was boot is failed to init sd card! Conect sd to pc it try to open bacome so hot
and partion open and close and tell for format When open console i see the capacitors around m92t36 chip 2 of them beep one midel is 00 from both side next is GIVE read 00 up dowen is 001.4 ohm the first one GIVE 0.740v the 3 capacitors near that chine dot..
Not power on or show read If it charge in usb voltage adapter.

Show me a clear picture of it.

About 3.3v in v1/v2 consoles you can find all contact points in nand. I allways catch all points in nand.

just wanna say that everything here was super valuable for me when I modded my oled. appreciate everything

Hello folks My Switch Oled with PicoFly modded by someone just stopped booting into Hekate :/ When I'm restarting, it looks like it's blinking long short three times. If I understand correctly, this is "=* D0 is not connected" issue? Is there something I can do on my end to fix it?

you need to tell your technician to reseat the dat0 adapter

 

[abal1000x]

Try to shake2 it, sometimes, if you're lucky, the dat0 adaper got connected

Still the best solution to send it to someone who understand the mod.

I'd opt for someone with the technical skills to properly do a kamikaze mod or install a permanent DAT0 adapter.

Have anyone seen the partition table like this?

Context:
- Oled using hwfly rp2040 aliexpress
- First boot hekate couldnt do backup nand, had "Partition table is empty" - purple screen ofw - creating emummc bis keys error
- normal 4 anchor dat0 adapter

Did:
- Changed cmd resistors
- tried different combos of adding more resistors to dat0 / cmd
- tried and Instict Hwfly with arm cpu
Still same problem...So emummc was screwed
- NxNandManager couldn't get GPP to extract PRODINFO so I could remake nand "Input file/drive is not a valid NX Storage" error
- Fortunetly got the prodinfo with program "HacDiskMount1055" and made sthetix new level2 and fixed purple screen
- Got back to hwfly rp2040 and "Partition table is empty" happened again, had to restore again, and got stable when I put more resistance on dat0 and no more slow emmc errors

Symptoms now:
- Ofw and cfw both OK, but the partition table is like I never seen before (see image)
Solved! its hekate 6.2.0 new way of showing table).
- sometimes glitch fail "**= No eMMC block 1 read (should not happen)"
Solved! 1 resistor extra 100 on CMD
