Hello, I have technical assistance and I do switch unlocking.
But, 2 consoles arrived here from people who tried to do the process at home and damaged the console.
None of them turn on and PICOFLY gives the error (*=* No eMMC block 0 read (eMMC init failure?)).
I imagine the eMMC was permanently damaged.
Has anyone managed to recover from this type of problem??

I had an idea yesterday to buy a new EMMC and replace it, but I don't know if that would work. Has anyone already done this?
I'll leave here a link to one I found on Aliexpress:

Link 1
Link 2
Link 3

I would like to do this, but I don't know if it works.
Or if there is a way to recover the damaged one.

Get a emmc programmer and defines emmc condition in that way, most beginner damage trace or just data corruption on boot0/1

FYI you change emmc without original prodinfo partition or keys meaning the console would not able to online or install cartridge game in most case. Kinda pointless IMO

Hello, I have never worked with NAND repair. So I don't have this programmer and other tools, like software etc...
Can you recommend a programmer or kit to carry out this work?

Is there any tutorial on how I can repair the damage to the EMMC with this programmer?

Thanks

From my understanding you can boot into Hekate with just a blank eMMC. That should be enough for Hekate to create a valid partition table on the eMMC and will likely be enough to boot Atmosphere. However, there will definitely be caveats to this. If you don't ever restore a backup of the original eMMC onto the new one, then OFW definitely will never work.

Adding to this: sthetix's video shows him reading a backup from the original eMMC before replacing it with a new one. He is using a UFI Box to create the dump which is a very expensive hardware programmer. I personally own a XGecu T48 which is about a quarter of the price and supports the Switch eMMCs as well. Depending on how screwed the original eMMC is, you may be able to do that, too. Then you could restore that backup to the new eMMC either with the programmer or with Hekate and you'd be good to go.

Possibilities to dump the emmc (if it's not completely damaged)
V1 switch with RCM bug
UFI box or his countless clones
Ft232h with Postal software
mmcblknx or his clones
If you are fine to send the emmc's to me (Germany) I can try to recover the data.

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Stremio ruined my need for nas
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I stream from Nas to firestick, one on every tv, and use Kodi. I'm happy w it, plays everything. (I pirate/torrent shows/movies on pc, and put on nas)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

    Damn, only $2.06 and free shipping. Gotta cost more for them to ship than $2.06
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
