Picofly AIO Thread

I'm a little confused on what needs to be backed up (and in which order) when you first boot into Hekate. Below is a list of what I think needs to be done.

eMMC BOOT0 & BOOT1
eMMC RAW GPP
Nintendo Switch Keys using lockpick

I also heard that you can backup bluetooth keys (or something like that). Is this step necessary?
Backing up eMMC is pretty straight forward. How do you use lockpick? Link to a video would be great!
Am I missing anything else...

The keys are also used for repairing your emmc backup. But yes, boot0 and 1, emmc raw and keys. Then put somewhere safe

I'm sorry if this has been asked before but can you use or repurpose a v1 cpu cable for a v2 mariko switch?

wonder how well thatll work heat the emmc heats up and cools... it's not a moving pin correct?

well, it's very solid steel even after I made it razor sharp for fitting under the chip and its stays very well and perfect without heating emmc chip.

To my understading, no. The issue is that the APU caps are not in exactly the same place. I suppose if you were inclined, you could solder to the points on the cable and then run wires beneath to the proper capacitors, but this sort of defeats the whole point of the cable, wouldn't you agree?

thank you for your hard work. thank you for your help I don't have rp2040 zero in my area I found that pi pico I'm looking for a way to apply a raspberry pi pico in my switch lite

 

[Arakon]

The Pi Pico is huge, there's no decent way to make it fit.

Hiya. Just reading about exFAT support, is it a problem if I have not updated my console before modding it? I have already took it apart (thermal paste and all) on fw 10.x.x. Once modded, could I not just boot OFW, update it and go about my day?

To my understading, no. The issue is that the APU caps are not in exactly the same place.

Follow up question, can i use V2 flex cable to my OLED?

 

[Ganesha0112]

Hello!

Is there a thread or page that is documenting the errors and/or bugs that appear with the chip and are fixed with each software update?

yes

I made and posted this to Discord and I figured some people might get some use out of it here too.
This exact setup works for me on a v2 mariko.

2) How i can upload picofly+unlock on rp2040-zero?

It's written on the first post:

• hold the BOOT button
• connect the RP2040 via USB to your PC, it should appear as an external drive.
• copy and paste the FW file on the root of the detected folder
  • the LED on the RP should flash red --> if not, close the jumper on the back of the RP for RGB mode as on diagram on the first post
• disconnect the RP from USB and repeat the procedure for the "unlock" file.

 

[LogicalMadness]

I'm unsure of which pins/pads to short for the RGB jumper. Does anyone have a picture/video?
*Edit OMG, derp, nm

I tested it but I never take picture.when your Rp2040 if you flash fw and light green then you need to short the RGB.the succesfully writing is red

But this I did.
But is the firmware flash procedure basically just a copy and paste?
Isn't there a tool to "flash" the firmware?
It's that simple?
