Hello,

I bought a Picofly Core and installed it on my Mariko V2. I thought I did an ok job at soldering, and I can boot to hekate. Unfortunately I cannot boot to the OFW.
I did a bit of a mess with the eMMC and in the end I corrupted something. Fortunately I did an eMMC backup as soon as I managed to run hekate, so I could restore that.
In between I had various problems, and I thought I fucked up the soldering and run a bunch of test with the multimeter.

In the end I plugged the eMMC back in the original place and ran the OFW and behold, my switch is alive!

Two things could have happened:
- While reinstalling the shield I damaged the flex cable of the picofly core and the emmc signal can't pass perfectly'
- The picofly came already broken from china.

Anyway, If you encounter the same problem as I did, try to replace the original eMMC module before trying to restore/reflash it.

At least you can use your OFW Switch
