- unlock through the toolbox breaks BOOT0, you have to either run firmware update or restore clean BOOT0 to fix it
- voltage regulator is turned off instead of sleep mode in the preloader, affects glitch reliability, you can update the sdloader (to the hwfly-nx 0.7.2 one) with hwfly toolbox to fix that

Please don't throw any rotten fruit or veg at me but that Hwfly for the oled just took (yet another) price drop :D

Now down to 32.38 UK - starting to get tempted, I think my buying point would be £25, so if there watching this just letting you know :D

if this drop continues it's soon there
 
Personally, I'd rather just replace the chip w\ a bigger one that is already preballed. 256gb from AliE, for around $80 after taxes\shipping. Check the 'emmc upgrade' thread from @binkinator for instructions and my link towards the bottom for purchasing. Especially with an OLED that has a Toshiba.
Just Opend my oled and "lucky" me i have s skhnix emmc , i will definetly be looking for e new emmc soon they seem to have issues so maybe it will be a 256 some day.......
but for now im gonna get that thing running so i can make a backup Xd

I've seen pictures of some installs using seemingly thick wires. Would it be possible to (comfortably) use 0.6mm enameled wires instead of the suggested 0.2mm? Or would they just get stuck somewhere?

I guess you could use thicker wires, if you were extra careful not to short anything with them.

But the thin wires are just so much easier to handle and place…

When you see it under the microscope you’ll understand.

So it's "just" that thinner wires are easier to use? Would thicker wire just fit without needing to be rerouted?
 
After some successful boots, subsequent failure (as a consequence of the horrible hack to the chip), switching to a -ZERO like we should've started with, a further amount of successful boots, and now further subsequent failure... Any ideas?
It blinks orange (D0) currently, and boots without the chip.
Still looking for advice on this, if anyone has any.
No idea what would cause it to work,  then fail (at least the second time; I know why the first did).
