Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

[LogicalMadness]

The glitch has already been done at this point. You cant access hekate or no sd screen without glitching in.

So, again, take the SD card out of the equation 1st, minimize what COULD be wrong. FW of the pico shouldn't matter if you're getting 'no sd'. Only thing I remember that pico FW could mess up is something about boot0\1, I've never had to fix this issue though.

One second you say update the sd files and the next you say that pico fw can have an effect, and agree\disagree, or something...? I just don't want any more confusing info out there than there already is.

@nqtal, what happens if you press volume - and + at the 'no sd' screen?

Edit: Also, which version Switch is this again?

Edit2: Which version PicoFly FW are you using? Use picoflytoolbox to find out

Hekate - launch - stock = works?

What is D in from mosfet to capacitor value read... And what S point on mosfet value read and is it soldring to ground on point cpu.???? For v1

 

[nqtal]

If you are this far and no slow mode error the rest is on sd card

I recommend - Atmosphere, Hekate, Sigpatches. This is all you need.

Hekate, atmosphere - all last version. I think earlier when i try installing pr2040 whith old firmware boot files was broken.

Black screen.
Switch Lite.
Last version 2.67.

Yes.

The cap dissapeared when I was soldering. Don't bridge this pads or you'll break your Switch (almost in my case).

Great! Thanks the info!

I'm with @QuiTim here, try fixing boot0\1. Maybe even search through *this* thread to see how\if anyone else fixed it

One last question: where I can get "Firmware dump in a form of multiple .nca and .cnmt.nca files"?

That helps a lot man, thank you so much. Need to try it out tomorrow. What exactly do you describe on the yellow lines? The "S" is still the GND right?

Works ! Thank you so much. Last time after getting it done, the battery wasn't charging and after it shut down I got blue purple. Now I'm testing that again. Hope it works this time.

Again thank you so much for your help !

Remove install and see if switch loads fine.

Unfortunately it didn't work. Atmosphere and stock still won't load. However, I installed Linux and there are no problems with loading it.

UPD sorry man, i just wipe system in Tegra explorer and it's work!

Its useless right now (current fw), bridge gpio25-gnd just means switch the led color code.

Bridge the 24 and 25 doesn't even have any meaning at all in the current fw.
Need rehius to update the fw to give it a meaning

My fault. I misread that 24-25 needed to be bridged for the color code switch. Definitely makes more since to ground one.

Still, I hope someone gets the 2040-Tiny board to work. Seems like a great solution.

 

[cgtchy0412]

wow ! i just realize it....
RP2040 tiny really slim
look the back side nothing on the back side

Spoiler: tiny

recently
i found from my online shop here(shipment from china i think)
but
they sell it 4x price than the regular RP2040 zero hehehe
lol


is it gonna work if someday we change from RP2040 zero to tiny ?

You can do almost the same with normal Pico, but you you will loose debug led. But not a big issue as long as you solder every point carefully. I even cut/trim it before soldering just after i flashed it.
My setup before wiring/soldering.
