Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

Same. No change i well replace chip raspberry pi pico...

show picture your dat0 connection on pico

 

[Dee87]

heating up the solder mask did the job and i removed all of the mask successfully and resoldered every wire. but the problem still continues. same error code as the last one and im sure the issue is not about my soldering skills as i've installed two more pico other than this one. any other ideas?

well then upload some of ur soldering pics nice and clear ones so we can take a look ourself

for u to show some pics of ur dat0 soldering and adapter

and since ur using pico did u set the detection pins ?

damn a few seconds faster then me Xd

well maybe not seconds more minutes Xd didnt see u posted Xd

i fixed the problem and it was not the soldering issue but an extra resistor on the pico w. i will post photos and a little guide for people who wants to use pico w for picofly.

Same this person but 3v3 not i soldering it in point for capacitor removed.

I would say u connected ur DAT 0 wrong , according to this picture

I would say ur picture are the shittier quality , I guess that guy with the good picture cut the trace above pin 22

To use that for Dat0

Cause if u look closely on the good quality pic it looks like he cut the trace and u did not and that's probably where ur issue is.

So cut that trace that goes from the pad to the via where u set ur dat0 point and it should work since ur having a dat0 issue

Yes brother this is the other new console i think im soldering every time dat zero adapter wrong finally it is cut this tress and cfw working mate... Thank you
This is adapter that i cut hhhhhhh it is working shity adapter.
I was soldring mosfet in back of motherbord and replace it with v3 Flex...this is insane 2 console mod oled

 

[Dee87]

No problem.....

LOL ... that was mine .. yeah you need to cut the RUN pin for the jumper to work.

Whats the use case of this pico W, its more expensive than normal pico or zero. Guess avaiability issue not only about mosfet.

Hello guys, I have this error when starting the switch with picofly, =***, I have checked everything and I can't find a fault, the switch is a normal V1

good quality pics of ur install i u want help would be the way to go

is ur emmc plugged in properly ? sure there is no flux or something else in the connector

 

[vittorio]

Infinite glich ,how i can fix?

 

[Trivisuko]

I have not removed the emmc,

I have soldered at the points according to the diagram, the installation is quite clean, I don't have photos now, is it possible that the chip is badly engraved?

maybe u lifted the emmc a bit who knows make sure that its in , what firmware did u use and we need pics to see what "quite clean" means to u.

chips are not engraved.

I've put firmware 2.73 on it, I'm going to check what you told me and I'm going to take pictures.

this error typically happens because your clk is shorted to ground or not connected properly. The mosfet isn't involved yet when the test that produces this error is performed

Thank you. I ended up getting it working I don’t remember which line now but one was definitely shorting to another when I put kapton tape over it. Covered that line with some coating and it booted up just fine.

I put a video of what the chip does, the console boots fine but with the original system

SMD LABEL"4700" is like 470 ohm if I don't understand it wrong. Measure the actual resistor resistance with multimeter

[cherup]

Possible you use the wrong resistors - should be 47R - seem to be 470R ?

 

[Dee87]

B

Why are u using 4700
(470k ohm)?

U need 47 Ohm resistor
