Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

[Browbon]

No offense but I don't see why you would potentially derail this thread over this instead of just asking on reddit. There's a subreddit for literally everything. This isn't even remotely related to the topic we're discussing :/

Thanh for suggesting. Im not familiar with reddit. I tried to find schema for hours and most of subreddit regarding to my keyboard is on “protest” mode to fight against reddit.
Shall you suggest where or what site i can ask for infomation? Thanks

Why would you update a functional install?

Why would you update a functional install?

i had yellow light on my pico. alsy emummc failed to launch now. is it because of fuse count?

 

[jkyoho]

If you update picofly v2.67 from toolbox, you could rollback from toolbox as well. If rollback doesn't solve the Emuemmc issue, then it should not be related to picofly fw.(I doubt initially)

before getting an OLED with picofly, with the V1 I used a homebrew (payload launcher) to launch payloads directly from hbmenu. now with the oled it doesn't work for me, do you know a way to start these payloads? for example I would like to start fusee to boot directly into Atmosphere

 

[Danook28]

yes , u can also check m92 and and pi or usb for shorts if there are shorts then ur switch doesnt boot

but whats the issue with the board sinc eu that the bq chip was defektive?
like i said its normal that it gets warm since thats the charging ic

Yeah i start feeling heat on that ic chip. But no short around it. What is the other chip you say you want me to read.

with the oled u need a modchip and a sdcard prepared with the correct files.
if u need info about the sdcard google for rentry switchhackingiseasy

Hello friends.

Is there a way to use only one mossfet for the 2 caps on the CPU on a patched V1 erista? I see a photo some days before but im not sure if it’s possible

hello kind sir, what does yellow mean. just 1 short yellow. but i had a minor problem. it booted to OFW like just pressing start and does fuse count mean something?

If you're talking about the one yellow flash after blue light glitching sequence, thats the glitch success sign from v2.73 fw. And toolbox fuse count does not matter, only mismatch fuse from HOS/Switch has impact on the software/homebrew you use.

Check the changelog, and stay with the working fw

I use a single mosfet on a patched v1 and only one cap connection. No issues, boots extremely fast.

That was before cleaning up and properly sticking everything down, obviously.

yes, it works fine with connecting to just one cap.

Hi, I have been getting this error code on a new picofly install: =*** eMMC init failure

I have been reading 0.7V on dat0, but I reseated the adapter just in case and I still get the error. If I disconnect dat0 from the picofly i get =* D0 is not connected instead.

Is this a sign of a bad dat0 adapter/connection or could something else be causing the issue?
