I have to try when I get home for this console.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Another console, another question.
But this thing happened to me just now.
I just installed another picofly with fw 2.61 (I hadn't seen the most recent ones) and I can't start it in OFW.

I state that I only installed the chip and turned on the console.
I turn on the console without MICROSD and the picofly NO SD CARD logo appears.

Then it froze on a black (but backlit) screen.
I unplugged the battery and plugged it back in and so I prepared the microSD.
If by hekate I reboot into OFW a loading screen appears which then freezes and the console reboots.
What will I have done wrong? (I did the same procedutre of the other 2 consoles).
Advice? Did I damage something?
I attach photos.
dude u need thicker wires for mosfet

i bet after that everything will work fine

Not sure, but the mosfet wiring diagram are not 100% clear to me.
As far as I understand, the wires from the CPU won't be connected to the mosfet ground plate in the middle. They need to be wired on the correct point on the side of the mosfet.

Maybe this can be clarified, if this is correct.

It doesn't look like it, but they have a good caliber.
There are 2 wires, 1 for each mosfet, I got them from a winding of an old faulty power supply.

In all cases I ordered the 36 awg, I think it's good for this type of work.
UPDATE.
For the record, I updated the FW to 2.64 with the toolbox and
finally OFW works regularly.

I mean, now it works, after updating.

Also, I had downloaded 2.61 the day before yesterday, I thought it was the most recent, but after 2 days both 2.62, 2.63 and 2.64 were released?

Could it really be firmware 2.61 which was incompatible with the switch's mmc?
I attach photos.

For repairs on smartphones I use the first one on the left, I insert that under the ic to rebuild the pitches (see example photo) (with the repairs of the iphone 7 audio ic I bought the car, and every now and then I still repair some ).
I don't know how subtle that is, but trust me it's barely visible to the naked eye.

The one on the right is what I'm using for switches.
I have some old self-stripping wire that I used to use with ps1 and ps2 mods but it's too thick.

The advantage of lacquered wire is that being light, it is better resistant to shocks and bends.
Of course, with a good self-stripping wire, cleaner and visually better jobs could be done.

The only thing that breaks there is "Reboot to OFW" / Vol+ & Vol-
by using Atmosphere you won't notice that

I doubt it, what LED colour do you have when the error happens?

As I imagined, you are right.
The OFW does not start.

Do I have to update the fw with USB to fix it?

Or do I need to reset boot0?

In the meantime, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you.

you need to run Full Stock from hekate, then update to the latest fw. not sure about the case when you are already on the latest one, you can flash a clean generated boot0 for it, use a boot0 from another console of the same type & fw, or even downgrade using daybreak, then update officially

Forgive my incompetence.
I am sure I have backed up boot0 and boot1 and also the system package (about 30gb) on the microsd.
However if I try to restore, hekate gives me an error, it can't find the backup.

For the other solutions you described, (generating boot0 and boot1 from hekate), how do you go about it?

Boot0 and boot1 same.

Being already on the latest firmware, I copied (same from NXShell) as you indicated to the restore boot0 and boot1 folder and, thanks to you, the console restarts again in OFW.

You are truly experts.
I am aware of being a new user, and despite this, you have always helped me.
All these things I've learned in so few days I owe only to this forum which is made up of really kind and willing to help users.
I am proud to be part of it and I hope to be able to accumulate a lot of experience that will allow me in the future to be able to reciprocate this kindness.
Thanks for now and see you soon.
