Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

[Hayato213]

Of course I will provide English response to Google translated and arrange it in front of Chinese. But when I am afraid that when the machine translation is inaccurate and want to add Chinese, the forum will tell me that the content contains prohibited words, which makes me not add the original Chinese text I said.

Thanks
谢谢你

You just have to re-word it until it allows you to post it.

I seem to be able to send Chinese content, but it was still not possible five minutes ago
我好像可以发送中文的内容了，但是五分钟前还是不可以的

Hello guys, Nintendo switch lite, I’m getting blue led then purple and then ofw boot like normal and no led. but c0, CMD and CLK are all 100% soldered correctly using 47ohm resistors.

 

[TenshoWang]

I still don't know when I will release a firmware of version 2.6, I am looking forward to my Switch crack. Because Switch sold in China can only run games reviewed by the government, which does not include the Legend of Zelda and Pokémon
我仍然不知道什么时候会发布2.6版本的固件，我非常期待我的switch破解。因为在中国出售的switch只能运行经过政府审查的游戏，其中不包含塞尔达传说和宝可梦

That is a good question, not sure how it would work for a tencent switch

I've removed the usb c port and installed a cable for updates its all working fine but being lazy with the wrong size tip I caught 2 of 3 vbus bank caps under the usb port can I just use a single 10uf cap between grd and 5v vbus?

I don't think it would make any difference to the modchip installation/boot process. I don't know the particulars of running atmosphere or out-of-region games on tencent firmware, but I know it's possible to change it to a non-tencent mode. Make thorough backups beforehand of course.

Probably also need to recompile since this is from 2021, probably won't work on latest firmware.

Some people have tried Tencent Switch to run RP2040, which is no different from other versions of Switch V2 (it should be called Switch V2, it is generally called Switch Endurance Edition in China)
已经有人尝试了腾讯SWITCH运行RP2040，与其他版本的switch v2没有什么不同（应该是叫switch v2吧，在中国一般叫做switch续航增强版）

Wrong, this will be restricted to network services by Nintendo
错误，这会被任天堂限制联网服务

Would it be possible to put some pcb between emmc and motherboard on switch v2 to avoid difficult soldering?

You still have to solder.

This biggest role is for the healthy game reminder of Chinese games for the compulsory requirements of Chinese games on Tencent SWITCH
这个最大的作用是用于腾讯switch上中国游戏强制要求的健康游戏提醒的

大概意思是：抵制不良游戏，拒绝盗版游戏。 注意自我保护，谨防受骗上当。 适度游戏益脑，沉迷游戏伤身。 合理安排时间，享受健康生活。
Probably: resist bad games and refuse pirated games. Pay attention to self -protection and beware of being deceived. Moderate game benefit the brain, indulge game beverages. Arrange your time reasonably and enjoy a healthy life.

Just to confirm this is the route I went down.

Some people have confirmed it's good to solder the mosfet directly to the cap then wire to PCB - I have only used HWFLY cables and that error is usually a CPU error

 

[TenshoWang]

What bugs have in Version 2.5

 

[billybobxxx]

Just to confirm this is the route I went down.

your mosfet is not connected correctly...check the mosfet pinout on my picture. Another thing i have no sucess with wire and the left apu cap connected with just one mosfet i have to solder mosfet directly to left apu cap without wire. If i dont do that and put wire no mather the size and lenght i have green.. purple and goes to ofw like you..

Done this and same outcome, added resistor to pin 15 also (because somewhere in this thread I saw this could be needed if bad results, and I’m getting the same result.

Spoiler: Reboot to OFW / Vol+ & Vol- doesn't work, blue/black screen
Answer：Boot into Full Stock and perform a full system reset.

THX，im trying!
