Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

[bilalhassan341]

okay well that might be the reason , but i mean its not hard to place them a little help of uv mask doenst really take alot longer then one in my eyes.

but everyone has his preferences

You're right. To me it is a pain in the ass to handle two mosfet. I only tried once placing two mosfet but Uv mask helped me a lot. Thats the reason I switch to always SDA and SCL or AON.

Edit: But like a pro as you are it is a easy job for you. Because we have your examples of soldering in the post. W @Dee87

Seems bridging pin 0-1 used to reset the payload and statistics in the picofly.

You mean reset training or reset payload?

[bilalhassan341]

Both

If after bridging 0 and 1. Does picofly boot into hekate or not?

Its just reset the statistics and payload as if you install picofly first time.
So after the glitched success it will run sdcard://payload.bin

Yesterday i try to prove the correlation between CMD CLK and D0 to glitching time.
And i conclude IT DOESNT CORRELATE with glitching time.
I use ns lite.

So, in theory it is save.

edit: 47/47/150 is worked the best..

Hello. What is the first thing that comes to a Switch modder's mind when, after a couple of days of modding a Switch, one day you turn it on and it's Nintendo;'s logo, opening OFW like no modding ever happened?

Hello, I have a v2 that glitches but does not start the unlock, also sometimes it starts original as if it did not have a chip. I have tried various chips, the chip firm is 2.74. Does anyone know if that nand is problematic?

FW 2.74 was removed because it is not stable. Try to flash the 2.73

tried
MOSFET single SP1(D) SP2(D) use 0.2mm cable + GND(S) 0.2mm cable
MOSFET dual SP1(D) SP2(D) use 0.1mm cable + GND(S) 0.2mm cable

The thickness of the cable also affects the boot speed

it will. Thicker wire help in stable glitch.

Edit: don't use the single 0.1mm on mosfet. I tried it, and smoke came out and wire got burn. Always use 0.2mm or twist the 0.1mm

I will give it a nice spank to see if it works or not.

Use a stethix Guide for level 1 unbricking to restore the emmc. It happened to me few times.

I change a new good dat0 adapter
And the problem disappear
Can access ofw
So bad dat0 adapter can make switch cannot get into ofw but dont make emmc brick

If you have a oled, dat0 adapters are very annoying if they are low quality one or if they don't align properly.


Edit: emmc corrupting is very common on switch . Always try to take backup on your first hekake bootup.

So you were not able boot ofw even you had removed picofly but the bad dat0 adapter were still inside?
Which means you didnt picofly& adapter.

Interesting. Is it the same kind of instability he was referring to? Booting to OFW?

(v2.74 + 300 mhz precision rp2040 may be not stable at 300mhz.from @rehius post)

Edit: I think the rp2040 is not stable that's why switch boots to OFW if the glitch didn't work.
