Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

[FreeLander]

Hello. I have an issue installing it on OLED. All readings are fine, but I get a green then purple color with blackscreen. Please let me know whats wrong

According to led indication PURPLE = eMMC boot failure, check CMD / CLK

I triple-checked them. They also give 0.7v

there can't be green -> purple
however it could be blue -> green -> blue -> purple, which might mean flux around RST point that forces a console reboot after a successful glitch

photos of your soldering may help to find the issue

By experience, if we make a document says 'all', usually people will still ask 'Does it mean it supported A?'
Even though its already stated 'all'.
That how peoples mind do.

even if u put in v1 patched/unpatched , V2,Lite, Oled in there they will still ask

You're right sorry. I meant blue then purple. Black screen. Uploading pics in min. Could a point be bad even if multimeter gave a good reading?

I know there are consoles where v2.5 works, and 2.6+ does not, so you can try different firmwares (2.5, 2.61, 2.64)

That sounds like an interesting bug

I really appreciate the work on this along with the guide that showed the alternate lite 3.3v location. While I'm waiting on parts to come in from aliexpress I'm working on a pcb design. If it works out I'll share it. Here's a rough design of some I have enroute. Any ideas or feedback is welcome

MOSFET power traces (GND / APU VCC) must be as wide as possible, look at the flat cables schematics / boardview. the less resistance they have the better glitching is applied.

current there can reach 40 A in pulse

@SubstituteSW please learn to use search tools before making accusations. Nothing about installing a PZero into ANY Switch is gate-kept, it's all public.

Again I ask, how the fk r people even finding these threads if they don't know how to search in the 1st place?!?

I made an RP2040 small board,
I hope it can be used

nice creation for switch v1 v2!

Thanks, I'll make some revisions which increase the trace size to .75mm to compensate

Hello, I have a nintendo switch v2 that I unlocked yesterday, I place it in the dock and the green light turns on for a second and then turns off and doesn´t give a signal to the TV, what could it be?

Okey will do. But now my OLED won't turn on even after removing Picoflly. I kept the wire and flex cable. But it gives me black screen. Is it dead?

 

[detilmalala]

i have this issue

what are you expecting?

while you are on Hekate there is no dock screen support, will never gonna be, already somebody ask for it on hekate's github an get a long answer why will never happen.

Glad I try to stay up to date on this thread, I did not know ^this.

Yup, dock will still charge while in Hekate, screen stays on, but no dock-to-TV video support, as that is HOS based, not provided for by the bootloader stage that Hekate takes advantage of.
