don't try to flash hwfly lite , it will damage your modchip. My modchip is broken and waiting for a fix method.
The price keeps going up. It's expensive for a modchip, but keep that in mind (and make sure you've selected OLED before adding it to your cart)...

At least the newer OLED Clone chips are cheaper than the old stock V1, and SpaceCraft-NX v0.1.0 HWFLY Lite's that sellers liike Ming were selling as "V3 works with OLED" for $170. Mine shipped out of China & last tracked on Dec 7, not a thing since, I have a feeling that it fell into the ocean on it's way over to the US. I'm just waiting till I can finallly file a dispute on Feb 15th to get my money back from these sellers who don't even know what they hell they are talking about & sending out.
I wonder how many OLED's they are responsible for killing after being powered on right after an install to verify that it works by seeing the splash screen, or no screen after having those old chips fry the new OLED Switch.
Link is out of stock however, maybe someone can post another link from where they got a verified known good working OLED chip?
Well, maybe it's all for the best that it's out of stock. I got impatient and tried to flash a newer firmware to it without it being installed (I swear I saw a video of that being done, so it should have worked, right?). But... I got a red light instead of yellow, which according to the install&update video posted here, means that it can't be flashed with USB as-is.
So... can someone look at my pic and tell me whether I need a GD-LINK or an STM-Link? And are there instructions for doing the SWD thing on this particular model yet? pic on page 10: https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-how-to-flash-the-hwfly-clone-chips.606008/post-9728860

To be fair, most people didn't know the Lites damaged OLEDs until recently, and using a Lite chip in an OLED won't immediately kill it, it takes some time. That being said, these sellers are charging a lot more than is reasonable considering these chips can't cost more than 30$ to make (and that's assuming they're making bad purchase decisions), so I wouldn't say criticising them is wrong, just do it for the right reason.
EDIT: Also, I have a working OLED chip. It's the arch flex, not the long flex. I haven't flashed it yet but when I plug in USB I get a yellow lite. The payload checker says it's safe. It only gives me NO SD every several boots. Glitch time is noticeably worse than the Lite and Core (I have an original of both), but not a deal breaker. I'll be flashing the new firmware once my programmer arrives in case something goes wrong.
I flashed firmware r021 from sthetix on my OLED modchip w/ USB and glitching times improved a lot. But debugging seems to be broken on that release.
Mena is investigating, I hope he can manage to have better glitching times on his fw version too, with working debugging on USB.
Yeah I'll wait for USB to be fixed on that. Don't want to be locked out of future improvements
USB works fine for firmware flashing.
Only debug mode is broken.
Personally, I don’t use debug mode at all, fast glitching is more useful for me, that’s why I’m keeping r021 by now.
Better sd compatibility is also included on that fw, among other features.

Thanks lufeig, I'm getting my OLED-chip installed tomorrow and just watched the video on youtube by sthetix about the OLED installation / r021 flashing... so would you advise that my modder should flash firmware r021 to the chip? I can stick with Samsung cards either way, but it would be good to get your take on the r021 firmware and how stable it seems to you.
1 consider that there are some OLED modchips w/ USB that are not compatible with this method (https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-how-to-flash-the-hwfly-clone-chips.606008/post-9726794)
2 I can’t comment on sd card compatibility, I have a 512GB Lexar and never had any problem, never got a single NOSD screen
3 glitching times with r021 are consistently better on my Switch. same behavior is observed on the Switch of another user here, in fact I flashed r021 following his report about it
4 I don’t feel comfortable to recommend flashing r021 because there are still risks involved in the process. Glitching on stock fw works, but on r021 it is optimized. I did it because I know I wouldn’t sleep well if I didn’t. LOL. But considering the risks, I would say it’s up to you to decide if it’s worth it or not.
Is anyone running into problems updating the firmware to the latest version (0.2.0.ChinaSDCardCompat) from the SD card / .force_update file?
I do see that the LED turns on and stays a solid green color and I let it run for over 5 minutes.
I unfortunately have an OLED switch that boots into a black screen so I don't know if it's failing, stuck or reporting an error.
Rebooting the switch doesn't cause the chip to brick so I'm assuming it never gets a chance to write the firmware?

Although the .force_update method is known to work with vanilla spacecraft, it was never mentioned or recommended to be used with this fork, so I just used the method mentioned on this thread: through USB port and a Windows PC.
the point where the cmd goes to from the modcip. i think its
47kΩ ±1% 0.05W 0201. so where trying to find the
47kΩ ±1% 0.05W 0201 on the older switch so i can take it off and put it on my oled

it is my contention that being horny is actually a state of distress that one is "relieved" from. it's not actually "pleasurable" , we just think it is. we're awfully confused to think that it's pleasure but it's more like getting rid of an itch -

NoobletCheese:
well scratching an itch is sort of pleasurable, in the same way taking a leak or a dump when you really need to go is

As I've mentioned previously: masturbation is a lot like defecation -- disgusting, satisfying, necessary.
