ok then i am sure some pins may be dead. tried 2 replacement reader and nothing worked. i take a pic

You missing pins?

 

[Space_Goddess_Samus_Aran]

i cant tell

 

[Hayato213]

here is a pic. i hope its good enough.

Base on the photo it looks like someone did solder a wire for you in the past, you might need someone to resolder a wire on that connector, purple pin in the photo, CMD point

Alternate soldering point are on the back of the board, if the front soldering point doesn't work

I seen the photo, in your case, you need to find someone who can solder, because whoever solder it, solder a wire from the purple color point to the sd flex connector, bring it to phone repair place they can do the soldering.

Thanks again for the tips. Now I'm confused about software. I have installed hekate onto my rcm loader and held the volume down button before injecting the payload, and it just loads atmosphere instead of hekate?? Do you know why this is?

was it working properly before?

did you make any recent changes?

Please post the contents of you /bootloader/hekate_ipl.ini file here.

Yeah so basically I’ve got a couple vids of it still doing the same thing unfortunately don’t have the screwdrivers needed to take it apart so hopefully you can just about see it in the videos I’ve taken, it seems to flash purple about 10 times and then flashed green really fast and boots into ofw.

So I’ve managed to get a video and a photo of the chip anyone got any ideas why it keeps booting into ofw and not into hekate?

You can try this, post #15 in the thread.

Unfortunately I tried that yesterday and just again now tried looking everywhere before posting, IM guessing it might be the dat0 adaptor maybe like someone was saying in that post? if it is ill have to send it back off to the guy to look at

Does anyone have a V1 and a V2?

What are your game update install times like between the two?

When fortnite gets an update, both download the files in the same amount of time but my V1 installs the update in under halve the time my V2 takes!

Both are installing to SD card and both have the same class of card although different capacities, just odd that one console performs so much faster than the other when doing game updates......

I have both V1 and V2 and can run some tests. Wait. Are you installing the official version from Ninty servers? I might could do a face off of a “backup“ game install. Not sure I want to buy two copies of official Fortnite just to test though…

I know someone here soldered 3GB memories and patched atmosphere...

But has anyone here ever soldered the fastest rams you could ever find with the same exact pin layout?

I would be interested is knowing if yes what's the max clocks you could get in such memories on switch?

Hey guys. I was trying to load up hekate on the User 1 on my rcm loader, and my rcm loader one can only access blue and green. So I tried resetting it by inserting a pin into the reset hole, and it did nothing. I deleted what was on the user 1 file and now I can switch only between blue, green, and yellow. My new concern now is, is my rcm loader now broken after I tried using the reset hole? I can hear something shake inside of it when I shake the RCM loader. Has something always shaked inside a RCM loader when you shake it?

Please post the contents of you /bootloader/hekate_ipl.ini file here.

What contents? Like a screenshot? And for my RCM loader or switch sd?

Also yes, it did work before. I launched it and Hekate had atmosphere in it. I decided to try out atmosphere on the hekate program. Ever since then, when I tried loading up Hekate it just goes in to Atmosphere.

Anyone else had the problem of their play time not updating?

Here’s an article about the initial tear downs of the Switch RAM:

https://www.gamenguide.com/articles...am-voez-rhythm-game-confirmed-for-console.htm

…long story short the 4GB LPDDR4 1600MHz RAM is already faster spec than what the Switch is clocked at. You‘ve already started diving into OC and exploring the edges of performance vs heat dissipation which is what everything boils down to at the end of the day. I can only speculate on the amount of effort vs the modest gains you might see here so I won’t do that here. I think you’ll want to engage some of the folks that were involved in sys-clk directly as they are going to have domain specific knowledge about this aspect of the Switch.

here’s a thread where some of them were discussing expanding the amount of memory:

https://gbatemp.net/threads/did-anyone-ever-tried-a-ram-upgrade-on-the-switch.557229/

…might be a good place to start reading.

no way for me to tell if there was anything rattling around inside your RCMloader before you tried the reset pin. I can tell you that nothing is rattling around in mine the rattling sound is not normal. There’s no way to tell if it’s impacting anything without you taking it apart and finding out.

What contents? Like a screenshot? And for my RCM loader or switch sd?

I’m inquiring about the data inside the file on your SDCard called /bootloader/hekate_ipl.ini. Please copy that data and paste it here so we can read it and see if there is anything that might be causing issues with booting.

Also yes, it did work before. I launched it and Hekate had atmosphere in it. I decided to try out atmosphere on the hekate program. Ever since then, when I tried loading up Hekate it just goes in to Atmosphere.

We need to see the contents of the file in order to discuss further.

I got Hekate to load and my RCM loader seems to be doing fine now using your advice from earlier. I have a question about switch root linux through Hekate. I launched switch root Ubuntu and it says "No mandatory secmon or warmboot provided! Failed to launch HOS! Press any key..." and any key just takes me back to Hekate.

Sounds like there might be an issue with /bootloader/hekate_ipl.ini file. Please post the contents of that file so we can take a look.

yeah sorry for bothering, i got it to work by reinstalling. I have a question about my linux now on the switch though. I hope I won't have to bother you anymore after this! But, it says on the Chromium Web Browser "You are using an unsupported command-ine flag: ~~no~sandbox. Stability and security will suffer." What does this mean? And is it something I have to fix? I am using Switch Root's ubuntu btw.

It’s a flag you can use to run Chrome as root. Take a look here for more info on installing Chrome (including no-sandbox option)
