Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

[Flaviocarvalho]

0.3mm solder ball, hot air, and 0.1mm jumper wire

Put the ball onde the pad....the wire...flux and then hot air? Or havre to reball emmc?

 

[jkyoho]

Put the ball into the ripped pad whole with little flux and slowly melt onto that remaining copper dot/trace. Do both pads then jumper them together

Thank you very much...anilising the circuit theres's a bridge between emmc and cpu am i right?

what was causing the yellow light?

For resistance problems, D0 requires 100Ω, and the other pins are 47Ω

hello long time lurker here and Aio thread nextdoor, has anyone made any definitive video guide picofly installation for all models? the ones i found most of them seems outdated

Finally it worked! I just soldered different solder points following this tutorial and this was my solution for my v1 switch



I also kinda user the flex V2 and worked too.

Seems like I was happy too early. Gave the switch my wife so that she can play some and after hitting low battery the picofly called the blue purple color and didnt turn on. Seems like i need to open that up again and check whats the issue.

all well and good until the pads are dead.

it not so big problem can by fix but must remove emmc them add new point and resoldering it Easy for pro modders like me.

This is rgh3 all over again ahahahaha

wheres you get the chip?
look good and clean

I made it myself

Video guides often go out of date and are always specific to one model. The best definitive guide to all models is this PDF.

I've been repairing consoles for almost 20 years. I rather prefer hard mods like frankenstein on ps3, APU reballing, repairs of liquid-flooded motherboards from consoles. I know the SMC hack and it's good in every version. Currently, sometimes there will also be an update from RGH2 to RGH3. This is rarely done anymore. It can be fixed like this

FIX WITH DAT0 ADAPTER

Do you know what components are NEEDED to run PicoFly from a PZero? Meaning, just how much can we remove from the board and it will still glitch? Besides the known USB\regulator\buttons\some caps.

 

[FreeLander]

Removed the APU cable and used a single MOSFET. Boots in less than a second. Gotta love them MOSFETs!
@LogicalMadness followed your instructions! Got some more work to do.
