The app says: Unknown Payload/ SX Payload?



so its not an v0.2? My chip is an oled hwfly, the person who did the mod said its the latest and its upgradeable...

As long as it's upgradable it should be fine. I don't the payload checker has been updated to identify anything newer than the standard SpaceCraft-NX 0.2.0
As long as it doesn't yell at you not to use in an OLED it's fine.

That's a relief Thank you!

Hello, I'm new here and I would like some help, I bought the HWFLY in china by the comments of the buyers, the model is upgradable and comes with spacecraft 0.2.0. I haven't done the installation yet on my Nintendo Switch oled and I would like to test it to see if it really is spacecraft 0.2.0. Would it be possible for me to do this by connecting the chip directly to the PC via the micro usb cable? If so could you explain to me how. Thank you all.

didnt read all the 17 pages but

why bother, just upgrade to 0.6.2

 

[SkolGBA]

Hello guys I'm new here and I'm still learning. I bought the hwfly chip in China that model from the photo below. I updated it using the Hfly-nx Release 0.6.2 file. I've already installed it and it's working perfectly, only I'm in doubt whether even after upgrading my device and spacecraft o.2.0. Are I downloaded payload_checker from @Mena and when I run with boot0 backup and BOOT1 pops up the following message "Unknown Payload/SX Payload?" as you can see in the picture I sent too. Is this "Release 0.6.2" update sending the correct voltage to my OLED Switch? I when I updated the chip with the "Release 0.6,2" I just downloaded the file and installed it via the micro usb cable before installing the chip on the Switch. I'm putting my BOOT0 and BOOT1 here in case @Mena or anyone can analyze if it is fully OLED compatible I appreciate it. Thank you.

 

[doom95]

Of course. You're fine.

This is definitely newer than spacecraft v2. You are safe to use. The checker is kinda outdated now and no one use hwfly lite on oled anymore.

It looks like mine is bricked . The led goes from purple/pink to fixed red, I sent it to a store and they said the mainboard is damaged.

 

[doom95]

Random store or someone knowledgeable?

Where I bought and asked them to do the chip install.

I’m willing to bet you it’s just DAT0 adapter placement

So just updating everyone on the situation, I inspected the flex ribbon power cable, cleaned it with isopropyl alcohol, the problem continued, I solved it then by inspecting the Switch motherboard, I took the motherboard out and cleaned everything with isopropyl alcohol, looked the welds and they are all good, I looked at the board to see if I could identify anything missing and I didn't miss anything. And I'm thinking that the problem is not the flex cable, but something on the board that I couldn't identify, for me it's all there.
The only thing wrong with my solder is that when I soldered the 3.3V wire to the capacitor, the solder ended up sticking and joining the other capacitor. As you can see in the photo.


I looked at the flet cable connector with a microscope to see if there was anything making a jumper, and by the photo it is clean.

I wasn't worried about it because I had seen a video on the ModzvilleUSA channel! where he joins the two dots and he said no problem.

Do you think this could cause any problems? I tried to separate it but I couldn't.

I also looked at the flat cable connector with a microscope to see if there was anything making a jumper, and by the photo it is clean.

Well, I think I'll leave it like this, the only inconvenience is that every time I load ATMOSPHÈRE I'll have to click on Launch with the Volume + key pressed and when I want to decrease or increase the volume I'll have to do it through the Joy-con home button.

If anyone else here has any more tips or know what is happening and can help me I would appreciate it.

Thanks.

I think this update might be in the wrong thread, but some good flux and a clean soldering iron tip should separate the capacitors.

This is the correct post, I was very stupid and didn't pay attention.

After 10 days now they said they can't fix it and will give me a new one at 50% discounted price (since it's out of warranty time).

They will use new oled one + old chip from mine so i'm afraid it will brick again soon.

You need someone with experience to complete the job

 

[Janna]

Hey I'm new to this, is there any way I can send it to some place so I can get someone experienced to do it? I honestly don't trust myself to replace the chip carefully.
