Dead Switch oled PicoFly wont boot anymore, after updating to 17.0.0 (bad usage of modchip) trying to help my friend
So heres the problem, i cant boot or inject payload, but i need a way to rebuild that nand, i only have boot0/1 backup done nothing more.

Im trying to find a way to solve this problem whitout buying another emmc chip, im from brazil and thats not easy to find or buy here btw i work whit this and have some tools, but i didnt find a proper way to do this, can someone help ME PLEASSZZE!!

i tried to remove the picofly, but nothing changed, still dead and only rcm mode

Rcm GUI doesnt inject
Console only recognizes as RCM (APX)
I have others rp2040 chips to use if its need

The picofly takes care of 'hacking' the boot process and starts up Hekate from the SD card.
You can't inject payloads with the OLED anymore as Nintendo fixed that security issue.

But since it's a picofly, just provide good detailed information in this thread where all the experts are :

First step is to get a succesfully glitching picofly first. Then you can fire up Hekate for further repairs if needed.

    some of the best selling games on the switch are wii u ports (that are priced way too high
    like come on 60 for a game thats a decade old??)

    @ColdBlitz, i forgot breath of the wild released for the Wii u
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    $60 for a game that's a decade old might be unheard of on PC but actually is not uncommon on consoles

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    especially Nintendo because they only ever lower the price of games when they do a greatest hits/platinum hits/players choice re-release
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, and the HD collections released for 7th gen consoles too
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but they don't seem to have done any of those for the switch yet and maybe never will
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    I think we all forgot breath of the wild released for the wii u tbh

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, tbh the HD collections are more justified since they include more than just 1 game per copy
