Those 0.2mm are really hard to come by, I used 0.1mm but I got no diode reading. Could the small AWG be the cause? Wiring is good.
Hello everyone, I spent a week on instaiing picofly and finally decided to buy better flux and smaller tip.
It worked and I sucessfully loaded to hecate and atmosfere. Glitching in seconds. But my tools does not allow to solder all details beautifully.
A few things I learned from this install. I am not a profesional, so I may mistaken somewere.
1. Mosfet installation is really hard. If you are not professional at micro soldering and you do not wanna become him, better buy cable from ali. Save your time and effort.
2. I mistaken and bought 470k resistors instead 47R))) Luckily I found 100R resistors and it is worked. Do not make a mistake with it. It should have 470 numbers on it, not 472 or 471.
3. You can remove buttons and usb port on pico without soldering blow dryer(how to translate it to english?))
4. Better do not use enamel wires because if they stuck somewhere and glitch may not work. It was when I clamped it with heat pipe. Also it may wear out, so either fix it firmly or use single-core wires.
5. You can try alternative points on board instead emmc ones.
6. Do not work tired. I had everything installed and mounted as in the latst photo. The only problem I had was that it short-circuited with the lid closed. I tried to re-solder gnd and forgot to disable battery.If you installed pico, you may have noticed that a few seconds after the power was turned off, glitch occurred. At that time, I tried to solder the gnd, and in the end my mosfet burned out. The second time(yes i know, i am so dump). It smells unpleasant, and you will definitely notice it.
So every time you doing something disable battery cable!
Seems that all I wanted to said. Thanks for attention.
Also a few photos of my bad install. This is just to better understand what you will have to do.
1. Mosfet size. 2,3 Original pico vs chineese one. 4,5 CPU and mosfet. 6. Almos done install.

reboot hekate menu OFW isn't it correct?

So direct soldering to the motherboard you don't recommend it and that's what I see most people doing the opposite
hekate - reboot OFW is the same as Vol+ & Vol-
hekate Full Stock boot option is also possible, but that is not "real" OFW boot
Congratunations for your courage to make it to the end even without experince. Everyone start from somewhere but you went to the deep at once
. One huge advice is always use flux. You soldering job seems like you have not used flux at all. With flux the whole job becomes much much easier!
Yeah, ordered good flux today. Used rosin flux before and it doesn't seem to help much.Congratunations for your courage to make it to the end even without experince. Everyone start from somewhere but you went to the deep at once
Where did you find such small single-core wires? This is the best I could find on Ali.
ali have awg32

why?We do it in the cell phone repair industry a lot due to torn leads on the board. The chip on it's back kinda looks like a dead bug
They mentioned because of torn leads on the board, but man, that BGA enamel wire job looks METICULOUS!
