Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

[impeeza]

I'd like to thank everyone for leading me into a false sense of hope posting blown up pics of components and me think "AHH they don't look to small, I might be alright soldering this myself"
Everything's bloody tiny!

Hopefully the resistors are the correct ones

seems they are correct:

That's how it goes, now you just need a microscope. Then you just need a soldering iron with the right tips. And then....

good luk with the mosfets one , i gave up and order flex , might wait couple of weeks.

Resistor is right, 47R0 is 47 Ohm.

how is possible to put the firmware in the rp2040? i've connected it with boot button and the mac find it as a storage, but how is possible to put the uf2 file/firwmare?

I've got a ts100 with bc2 tip which should be ok for the job and loads of flux etc, I solder quite a bit but nothing this size haha
I might get one of them magnifying headband things with light on

I've gone the flex cable route anyway, that should be delivered tomorrow with some luck

copy and paste file into that folder

yoiu need to hold boot button then plug into pc and drag and drop files, it will unplug

return me the error 100093: not is possible to copy the file

Do you have a schematic for the mosfet welds?
Thank you

on several post on the last 10 pages. even on the important post there is a pinout.

but is possible to use another "commercial" mosfet similar? for order the flex cable or a mosfet IRFHS8342TRPBF it takes so many days to ship

ok i managed to copy it with catalina. But after copying the file, the system ejects the disk and then if I try to reopen it with the boot key, I can't find the file inside that I had loaded before. it's normal? is it read and applied and then automatically deleted?

the files are not real. yes, it is normal. now flash unlock.uf2 the same way

My solution for a normal firmware upgrade, checklist: the USB port of the PS4 controller plus a matching cable, a magnetic reed switch, and let's get started!

Hey guys, long time lurker first time poster. Finally did the mod, it glitches and boots Hekate fine. Using 51ohm resistors because I read somewhere that Toshiba eMMC's prefer a higher resistance. I ran the picofly unlocker payload and all that and it said it flashed successfully.

Anyways, I get this error anytime I try to boot Stock or EmuMMC. I'm also seeing that my secure boot key is all F's and my Cal0 is corrut.

I love the same thing also happened to me with Toshiba nand I installed the rp2040 resistors with the unlocking and it gave me that same error without counting that it does not let you extract the keys and when it happened to the original console it gave this error

Could be you are trying to "copy" both UF2 files at once. You must copy one file, reconnect rp2040, then flash another file

MOSFET finally arrived. Flying install for testing.. first boot gave me blue, cyan, off. Second boot flashed blue for a little while, then booted to OFW.. every boot since gives me a green light within a second and boots to Hekate. Awesome!
This is a patched Erista that I used to run with Pegascape.

check this out click me
same parts bot no soldering required to flash
to flash i also added a reed switch a few day later

While you are waiting for the v2.6, here is v2.5 with increased timeouts, hopefully should fix the Toshiba case

Super thanks

My switch lite's EMMC chip is this one

After using the new firmware you released, it works fine
