HATS VS firmware

Download this https://github.com/sthetix/HATS/releases/download/Latest/HATS.zip extract all to the root of your sd card and overwrite if prompted.. your good to go!

download this and replace the files on your SD card.

Download the HATS pack, has all the tolls you will ever need to put on your SD Card as well as a hekate_ipl.ini with CFW sysmmc

Try booting into hekate payload instead. You can do a simple install with the HATS pack on GitHub. https://github.com/sthetix/HATS

The common issues that prevent Tinfoil from working are that the system clock isn't synchronized, and/or you're missing sigpatches. If it's the latter, you'll need to find the sigpatches file online. One of the easier ways is to reinstall hekate, atmosphere, tinfoil, and sigpatches using the hats pack found here.

I've installed modchip on Lite. It shows the "no sd card" logo. I've tried both hekate official gitthub and HATS packages loaded into an SD card, but it gives a black screen. It returns to no sd card when I press the power button for 10 seconds after removing the sd card.

If you haven't fixed just grab this after you read it over. It has the latest. Sthetix HATS pack

I assume you updated hekate already, but try a clean SD card and use the latest HATS only and see if that works.

What you have is a payload injector, which is designed to allow for you to boot into a select payload without a computer. The payload on the SX OS ones looks for a boot.dat file for instructions, which is usually for SX OS. Thankfully the SX Gear boot.dat file lets you boot into any payload using that same payload. What you want is a copy of the sx gear boot.dat and boot.ini files, which are included in Sthetix's HATS pack. From there edit the boot.ini to point to the hekate payload on your micro sd card.

If I were you, I would wait for the USB adapter to reset via putty. If resetting doesn't work, you can next try flashing the latest chip firmware. You may have to try different versions. Start with the latest and work backwards.

I'll leave the github link which explains the chip colors meaning here: https://github.com/hwfly-nx/firmware

Firmware: https://github.com/hwfly-nx/firmware

You can start here https://github.com/hwfly-nx/firmware where they have the color codes and if it don't help, they show how to access the debug console.

That's weird, green should mean everything's fine, either successful glitch or sd loader running. Wish I could help you, sorry :(

Based on the github it looks like "attempting to glitch", and by their own description, it seems you just have to wait. Did you updated the firmware?

I bought the following chip from Aliexpress flashed it with release 0.7.2 from here and installed it. Now I am stuck with a yellow breathing LED, which is "closest" to the "Training glitches" one on the hwfly-nx/firmware github page, but seems off a bit. Additionally it is stuck there for more than an hour even after retries.

You are one the right path. It will go purple then yellow for retrain then it would be a solid green. Use the link and look at the LED INDICATOR IT WILL EXPLAIN THE CODE PROCESS https://github.com/hwfly-nx/firmware
