I just installed my V5 modchip (I think 5.4 said on the Bord) on my new OLED. The V5 came with hwfly-nx preinstalled (haven‘t looked for the version) Training was super fast. About 15 seconds with my Samsung EMMC
training duration is a very poor benchmark, since hwfly-nx continues for 50 successful boots, and China fw changes it with every revision, last I checked was 20
Hey sthetix, been following you back when you put some tutorials about sxcore and still nice to watch your contents. I was wondering if I can flash my SXCore and SxLite chip with the provided files (HWFLY_NX-0.7.1) ? thank you in advance man
Hello! I followed you ever since your 3ds hacking videos and always use you are reference when I need informations for these types topics :) I wanted to buy a switch but I first wanted to know what were the newest hacking methods and if there were some models that aren't hackable (so I could avoid buying something I couldn't hack)? Thanks in advance and have a wonderful day!
Hi man, i would like to modchip my nintendo switch oled for the first time. What tools do you suggest to buy to perform and to obtain the same result like your videos? (an amazing work btw) you can send link for the products so i will have an idea. Thank you so much
I reflashed the stock firmware 🚀 v 0.32 and I see that it boots way faster than the hwfly-nx 0.7.2... As I had noticed after flashing the hwfly-nx that seemed to be considerably slower. With the stock fw🚀 it takes 0-2 seconds to boot the console while with the hwfly-nx it takes 3-5 seconds in my case. This is on a Mariko v2 switch with Samsung sysNAND 😊 Maybe with skhynix sysNAND the hwfly-nx works faster. In my case I'm staying with the stock one! 🚀
Let me ask you one question. I have a sxcore chip that I didn't use and they recommended either spacecraft 0.3.0 or 0.3.2 instead of hwfly 0.7.2 and I was wondering why.
I have the new pokèmon vers oled, do you know what tipe of memory it have? or there is any way to find it ? Thanks ... one more.. how to back and flash the original fw ? You can do with the toolbox? or you need to open the console?
I just flashed the HWFLY-NX 0.7.2 yesterday on my Mariko with Samsung emmc and I see that it glitches considerably slower than the original firmware with the rocket 🚀 screen... The stock firmware with the rocket screen was booting the console much faster in my case. I just flashed the HWFLY-NX because I wanted to have the possibility to bypass the chip at the beginning to boot directly into the OFW without having to launch Hekate so that I can play the original games I have purchased from the Nintendo online shop. Also with the stock rocket 🚀 FW the console was not turning back on after Powering it off from HOS... Each fw has it's pros and it's cons... For me it is essential to be able to bypass the chip at the start to be able to use the SD card with my purchased games, something that the stock fw 🚀 cannot do.
You can always press the volume minus button while turning on the console to boot to ofw using the rocket firmware. You can do the same on the hwfly-nx by pressing both vokume buttons
@@sthetixofficial wow I didn't know 😭 I tried just pressing the + button and both buttons but no the minus only! I'm lame!😅 Where can I find the 0.32 firmware with the rocket screen? It was glitching considerably faster in my case...
Bought an oled pre-modded. It's got an unknown version of hwfly-nx firmware installed on the chip, I can see the black "hekate - IPL NO SD CARD" screen when I turn it on without a SD card, and from there I can press both VOL + and VOL - to boot OFW. Thing is, when I power the console on by holding VOL +, the green light does not stay on (looks like it does not enter DFU mode). Is this something that could've been disabled by whoever installed the chip? Is there a way to reenable this functionality? I'd like to be able to retrain the chip using the hwfly-toolbox when and if the need arises.
Hi, I bought my Oled switch premodded so I don’t have the micro usb connector that you show in 15:35. Do you know the name of that piece so I can buy it? I would like to flash my chip. I had updated system firmware to 16.0.1 and the chip stopped working so I want to flash or retrain the chip.
each of the USB connector is "paired" to the chip, they have a specific code and you cannot use random USB connector. Don't update the chip, just reset it using a tweezer and the chip will work again. BTW, if you are using the stock chip firmware, please get into the SD loader screen and see the chip firmware version on the bottom right of the screen. If it is 0.31, you are fine.
I have a problem, my chip sometimes starts in OFW even though the led is green.. it turns on and the green led is pulsing green, do you know the reason?
How do I figure out which is the best Version OLED Switch modchip currently? I have an OG Switch with Atmosphäre on it… ai really want to install a chip on my OLED
I said, the hwfly-nx doesn't have the auto hos off feature instantly inside the firmware .. And i didn't mention hekate because i was comparing the firmware, not hekate
@@sthetixofficial comment was also meant for viewers who would find the lack of that annoying but want the faster boot times. some might not know about it being available in hekate
It is available on hekate but as i said earlier, i was comparing the chip firmware, not a feature on hekate. So people know which firmware suits best for users
My switch has (hwfly) they unlocked it and everything, but when it is turned on in stock or atmosphere mode, the console shows the logo and turns off, do you know what it could be? They tell me it's a backup problem
10:10 , there is way to disable it? when i turn of the console from OFW, after 15s it come back to on, same with both flash fw (HW or STOCK)... Thanks very much , if i flashed the HW, there is way to disable it ?
When I press vol + and power button my mod chip flashes green once and then stops, I'm trying to view the train information but it can't communicate with he mod chip
@sthetixofficial I brought it off ebay with preinstalled firmware which after trying everything in your video I found out was stuck on picofly firmware and couldn't be flashed to anything else
Can we flash the chip without removing it from the switch? Edit: I mean replace spacecraft NX with hwfly by using the built in flasher/updater of spacecraft NX tools so I don't have to open my switch(one screw is stripped and hard to open 😔)
@@sthetixofficial hi bro... I tried as you suggested and I encountered an error "failed to flash !" I believe the firmware now is corrupted as it directly boots to OFW now and no LED lights on the modchip. Now question is... Can I fix this by flashing thru the USB connector method? Or do I need a ST Link programmer? I don't have either of the two right now so I'm not sure what to order on aliexpress. I would prefer if I can fix this thru USB connector only but I could br just wasting time and money if this doesn't work. So maybe you have an idea which should I buy?
@@sthetixofficial also can I know what firmware version does your st link v2 have? I was able to find a seller here in our area selling st links for arduino and though I'd try this first. Could the compatibility be firmware related?
Do not manage to understand what is the functionality where when you turn off the console restarts or turns on after 15sec. Can you explain what is its usefulness?
@@sthetixofficial in my case it had not happened to me until after installing the mod chip, how is it possible to deactivate it in an oled with hwfly chip?
@@sthetixofficial Another question, it is possible to see what version of firmware and sdloader the chip has installed with hwfly toolbix, to know if I can update it.
@@sthetixofficial pin 37 is SWCLK right? does this apply to all modchips? Shorting GND & SWCLK? I was not able to trace the connection before from the oled modchip so no idea where thr 2 pins were connected before.
I have a question regarding install the android, I just check my modded switch lite, it show "no sd" and bottom right show R0. 32 and H2. 0, some people told me I need to upgrade firmware so that I could install android

Training was super fast. About 15 seconds with my Samsung EMMC
How have you enjoyed having a modded switch? I have modded ps Vita and a few other consoles with CFW but I've not done anything to my switches. Thx
where did you get v5 chip and is that the best one? im trying to find out but dont know where to ask.
training duration is a very poor benchmark, since hwfly-nx continues for 50 successful boots, and China fw changes it with every revision, last I checked was 20

will you tell us more about it? I don't really understand
Right side. I like simple style.
No sd is soooo satisfying when you first install a mod chip
Welp I have no choice anymore as I put the USB cable in the wrong way😅. Stock firmware it is!
