This chip inserted into the reverse USB cable will short circuit?

I wish one day for a chip that doesn't need soldering

On patched systems? That's never gonna happen. Modchips makes injecting a payload possible by fluctuating the voltages on the tegra processor so it skips a check. How would you do that without soldering wires directly to the board?

"The firmware is already compatible with Android and Linux by default", is it real?

Hi I just install an instinct-nx turn on light was flashing some color begining just remember the last was white then it boot to OFW on a oled model
all the mesurement are

diode mode on multimeter to ground
Black lead to ground and red to each points

A/CMD 0.718 v
B/RST OL
C/DAT0 0.770
D/ CLK 0.766 v
3.3V 0.476 v
SP 1 0.029 v 17.7 ohms
SP 2 0.029 v 17.7 ohms


take a look around seem those measurement very good please give me some advice cose i run out of idea

Thanks

count the number of white flashes, that'll tell you which wire is likely bad.
open loop on /RST doesnt seem correct at least.

 

[ranma99vn]

Start of quick red i think then flashing yellow for awhile then yellow green (i think) then purple then to white flash for a while aswel then boot to OFW

 

[doom95]

single bursts of white flashes indicates issue with CLK wire

Just did instinct nx install on an oled.
All working fine,hekate and atmosphere,now doin backup nand.

Try a jump wire from CLK straight to the chip still the same (

pic of install @ranma99vn possible,also try to reflash the chip.
here on my install it works fine.

ok how do i reflash it? and can u have a look at my testing with multimeter is it correct

diode mode on multimeter to ground
Black lead to ground and red to each points

A/CMD 0.718 v
B/RST OL
C/DAT0 0.770
D/ CLK 0.766 v
3.3V 0.476 v
SP 1 0.029 v 17.7 ohms
SP 2 0.029 v 17.7 ohms

thanks

put this small flex in the connector on the chip board,connect to pc,open the flash.bat

for readings,my switch is back fully closed now,but try first to reflash

why i say reflash,cause i saw today some video about hwfly,same problem,he flashed the chip,and that solved it.
You can try it,do you have the software?

best to add high quality picture of solder joint

thanks for your help Fille and Doom

Doom Was Right about the D Point jump a wire end up short it to ground by the D point from the rebon but sorted all good and to Fille as well get the card flashed and everything work boot up to instinct

thanks again

Got one installed in my OLED, works beautifully.

I read in several places that after powering off from OFW with a modchip the system turns back on after ~15 seconds, this one I observed that the chip briefly flashes but system stays off. This is without an SD card inserted so no auto hos off from hekate.

Feature must be baked in the chip firmware ?

 

[doom95]

its known as auto-hos off, embedded in sdloader

 

[lukands]

I absolutely recognise those there fingernails in the video

But they are not red

 

[toroloco]

Is this chip easier to install than hwfly or which one is better ?

Hey, I’m having the same problem. How did you fixed it?

Hey, I’m having the same problem. How did you fixed it?

use jump wire straight to the chip, the D point so small and i have ts100 with very fine tip but it not a right tool for this job and make sure u cut the D point off the ribon other wise if it some how pop up and touch the cpu frame will short the switch out
