Picofly AIO Thread

[LogicalMadness]

No man, I just have alot of free time these last couple of days and i'm on my phone alot so..... and I guess I feel a need to give something back for all fun I had doing these mods myself.
But, goddamn man you are right, i can only imagine the amount of eye rolling going on here
Whenever I see a thread related to my problem with so many pages I get super exited to read through it so i can find an answer and learn a bunch of new things along the way.
I mean whats the point of doing this yourself if you are not willing to learn something new and spend some time on it.
You might as well send it to a shop and get it over with.
The only ones that really get to me are "Nobody?!?!?!" ; "Why no answer yet?"
I mean, the audacity of some people...
Anyway....i have to get back to answering questions

You're doing God's work, praise be to thee!

I'm broke, someone gift 'em

Hahaha.. just insert/pass the rp board from the bottom metal shell goes through fan hole , then after rp on outside you just close the metal shell.. so the final result is the rp board will be outside of the metal shell and directly sit bellow the fan, after that you close the switch case as ussual

Thanks, i didnt even think to do that

Download the guide, there are photos of dual mosfet setups in there.

modchip is more convenient. No need RCM jig, tools, worries. Once installed it just works, you can boot both OFW and CFW without any issues. Erista glitch reliability is perfect, boots within a second.

You can use this mod in an unpatched switch but I'd recommend looking into the fusee suite for trinket m0, xiao and other boards.
it's basically an internal payload injector , rcm jig with some neat feature and doesn't rely on glitching.
If it's unpatched, that's the better choice imo.

I see 153 holes so i guess it's the same
Good luck.

I was fine, it worked.

Your "good luck" protected me :-).
Removing that damn mmc was really thrilling, hot air at 400 degrees and a soldering iron tip on the ground to help desolder Without destroying anything.

Soldering Mosfet

 

[zZMaCK1eZz]

Oh man. At least, its not Blue.
I've read people saying in reddit, blue is about hardware (apu or wifi).
Purple is about the software kernel panic, bootloader, etc.

Hello!
Do you know anything about the blue screen? I have a 1.1 version that displays the "NO SD Card" screen, but when I press Vol+ and Vol- to enter the original system, a blue screen appears. And when I insert the micro SD card, the screen remains black.

Soldering Mosfet

a flex cable without the FPC connector and just a single solder point would be amazing

 

[cgtchy0412]

Remember my V2 with it's max77812 ic ripped off from my own mistake, after waiting for 3 weeks for part to come from china, now its coming back to life after i replace that ic.. I must be lucky to have it success on first try.
I wasnt confident because my tools are not professional enough, a cheap 20$ hot air. Anyway thank you for you all who advise ..
Now its time to install Picofly..

I love this community.
Some pics celebrate it.

Great work man, I'm glad everything worked out.

No, they do work. You just need to remove those 3 resistors that are soldered on the board, bridge those connections and then add 47r resistors to dat0, clk and cmd manually (as we are doing now).
The thing is that currently you can't order any untill the new batch is manufactured but if you can get your hands on one go ahead and use it.

Why not replace these resistor where you delete the original one ?

You can replace them on the same spot and that would be even better. It's just that they are too small to solder by hand (for most of the people).
And yes, boot to OFW with +/-, reset everything, then you can create a clean emummc if you want.

Good, have u already tested these chip ?

Hi, IDK if this has been asked (searched and can't find it) but I am having these issues, which occurred before the Picofly was installed. I have an OLED and my Game Cartridge reader doesn't work, so I decided to just mod it since the SD card reader works. Looks like it might have had more issues then I initially thought.

I have somewhat successfully installed the the Picofly, but when I installed it and checked my work I noticed that the point where you solder the reset to was reading 0v in diode mode (black to ground, red to point). Removed the cable and tried reading the point again and same thing. Don't know what this means. I repair switches for fun, V1 and V2, but never a OLED. Does anyone know what this means?

I also get the "Slow EMMC" error but I will try adding more resistors as suggested on this thread. IDK if this is also another underlying issue where the EMMC fails to initialize.

Sorry I don't mean to be that guy
