    eMMC initialized in slow mode on unpatched v1

    It means that the emmc (flash nand internal memory) chip has some connectivity problems. The Switch has a check whether it can read full speed in 8 bit mode with all 8 data lines. If that fails, then it switches to a 1-bit mode with a single dataline as an emergency feature. The Switch will work...

    is there any way to get custom skins for minecraft nintendo switch edition with cfw?

    Officially Minecraft or the Switch only supports the extras in the DLC packs. There is no option do put additional skins somewhere on the SD card or to download them. The command line input (I don't recall what that is official called) to make some alterations is there but with only a keyboard...

    SWITCH WILL NOT START ANYMORE [MOD CHIP IS PROBABLY PRESENT]

    It might be that the SD card board is not connected properly to the motherboard. The connector might have come loose or it might have detached itself from the motherboard. Atmosphere needs the SD card to start itself so it will get angry if it cannot initialize the SD card. In a rare case it...

    OLED won't boot at all (only black screen) after turning off console, purple light and flashing yellow afterwards

    From what I understand is that the glitching fails (the purple light) and then it goes to the training mode (flashing yellow) to train the hwfly once more to get a 'good' glitch. That seems to succeed and then the hwfly reboots to try to glitch the Switch again. And then it fails once more and...

    Questions about setting up an SD card

    1. s this what everyone is using? I don't use any package like HATS. Just Hekate and Atmosphere work fine. Whatever you do, make a backup of your keys. With those you should be able to recover your Switch if everything goes wrong. A full NAND + keys backup would be better. 2. Should I update to...

    Hardware Black screen after removing the apu plate

    If it won't boot now, it won't boot with a picofly installed. Usual suspects are missing caps and scratches on the motherboard that occur when removing the APU cover. That missing cap could be your problem. If you can take good pictures, maybe someone in the picofly thread can help ...

    is it hard to get the PRODID off a switch to remove parental controls

    I presume you looked at this page : https://mkey.salthax.org/ All depends whether your Switch is patched or not. You can look that up here : https://ismyswitchpatched.com/ If it is not patched then you can use something like TegraRCMGUI to inject Lockpick_rcm (harder to find since Nintendo...

    How do I launch the boot loader? in hekit.

    You're probably referring to Hekate. I presume you were already using Atmosphere before but now turned off the Switch completely. If you see a black screen when you turn on your Switch (power + volume up), your Switch is in autorcm mode and is waiting for the fusee.bin file to be injected over...

    Hacking Is my switch OFW safe after resetting via official option in switch settings?

    2 problems : 1. Even with a factory reset, traces of the custom firmware will be present on the sysNand. Haku33 is said to be able to completely wipe everything but I have never used it. So no guarantees. https://github.com/StarDustCFW/Haku33 2. The Switch could already be banned by Nintendo...

    Hardware PS4 HDMI gives no signal

    Pins could be disconnected from the motherboard. Than can happen when the connector if bend too much. Only opening up the PS4 and doing a visual inspection will tell you whether that is the case.

    Switch Android now battery problems??

    There is no such thing as a battery reset or a way to refresh a lithium battery. If your Switch is several years old then your battery might just be failing. Stressing an older battery might make things more noticeable.

    Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

    A CNC milling machine that is precise enough to remove 1 layer will cost you a fortune. A copper layer on a PCB is around 0.03 mm in height. Fine grid sandpaper is much more affordable and much more reliable. That is how most people delayer PCBs ...

    Hardware Switch Lite - Sd card failed to init (Error 2016-0641)

    It might be that part of connector on the motherboard detached itself (or at least some required pin). If you done some other work then check whether you're not missing some components.

    Hacking Possible Brick after unplugging battery while Atmosphere is running

    I don't think your NAND is corrupted. If your SD card is formatted with exFat then you might have wrecked it when pulling the battery. An easy test would be to see if you can copy all the files off it to a PC. But my guess is that the SD card reader running in 1 bit mode is likely the root...

    Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

    When Nintendo released firmware 17.0.0 they caused some problems. https://gbatemp.net/threads/switch-stuck-at-nintendo-logo.651058/post-10380256 The question was whether your nand backup was completely clean or that you already used it with a CFW? Would resorting to a factory reset maybe fix...
