It is the best kamikaze I have seen, in the forums people exaggerated saying that it was very deep to reach the third layer that you could go through the other side of the card 🤣 I already see the Chinese making a square-shaped adapter and based on the green line, sthetix will soon be contracted by NASA

Hi! It would be nice if you could show a proper install using this method so we can see how it works with the ribbon adapter for point A.

@sthetixofficial

do not use ribbon cable - i found it generates interference so you cannot boot to the OFW. Use individual wires instead.

this is an amazing mod !, it reminds me the kamikaze mod for some dvd drives back in the x360 days , and tbh doesnt seem that hard, probably some sticker guides and could be easily located like the guide jigs for drilling the x360 drives XD

Me parece interesante este metodo, lo intentare pronto... Tengo una oled con instinct v6 pero en algunas ocasiones se me ha apagado y el dat0 se mueve y tengo que abrirla para colocarlo biej y volver a entrar a la magia. Asi que intentare este metodo ya que usar calor si me da miedo.

This is honestly genius. To me this doesn't seem THAT dangerous, as long as you don't scratch out the trace below it. I'm guessing the perimeter is so large to give a clear distinction between the layers? Also, are there any traces next to it below the first layer?

Would it be possible to grind down through the layers with some other manual tool? I'm thinking it may be easier/safer to attempt to go a more "slow and steady" type of approach, but unsure if that would actually be feasible and what tools could be considered for that

@sthetixofficial

2 ай бұрын

i think drilling/grinding is the best.

The other method that involves adapter seems to be easier but unreliable (fail to boot). The reason IMO, because it doesn't grip solder balls on EMMC BGA. Alternative method involves interposer board for EMMC. The drawback for that? Reball failures.

@sthetixofficial

do not alter the emummc solder pads or even remove it, as it is not stable too,.. at some point, the solder will crack.

Is there a similar technique to expose clk? My very first attempt, I destroyed the via at the D point. I still have that switch, but no hot air rework station. If I could fly a jumper from the clk trace to the emmc, perhaps that switch could live...

@sthetixofficial

4 ай бұрын

it is harder than exposing the CLK point.

I reball the entire nand onto a non-flex breakout pcb. The benefit is that it also gives you easy access to the D A C points without having to grind anything on OLED keeping the board in perfect condition for long term. But if you kill the nand with all that heat, it's over. (I haven't seen you film this method. Video idea?) but this is the first time i've seen something else that looks just as reliable, maybe even faster! In my opinion the flimsy dat0 flex under the chip is not good enough and will always eventually disconnect. How does the kapton tape help you find the zone to grind? What are you aligning it to? It seems judging the position in relation to the cap might be easier. Thanks for the video!

Hi! I’m having a problem and I would love your help. I have an OLED switch with an HW FLY mod chip that I “kinda” installed. I purchased a modded motherboard from AliExpress and I’m having trouble with it I can get into hekate but if I try to boot into sys or emu or bone stock I get no where. Stock will stop at the switch logo (not Nintendo logo) and the CFW will stop after the black and white atmosphere logo. It won’t be responsive until I hold the power button for 10-15 seconds, then start over. I tried your level 1 unbrick so far but that didn’t change anything. Where should I start? Thank you so much!!!
