Hardware Wii U refuses to update, Sent to Nintendo and rejected

before you do anything try updating 1 more time and tell us at what percent does it stop at

I did that last night using the Smash 4 disk and it hung at 1% as usual. The system is still in the same condition.

 

[keven3477]

if its 1% then I don't think 1 or 2 ioses are the problem anymore, I think it could be something else

I'm going to still see if I can fix that iOS and see what that does. NUS doesn't have IOS59 in the database, if I enter "000000010000003B" as the ID and "7201" as the version, would that be sufficient enough? Got a 404 instead.

carefull you may be using a regular wii nus downloader. if you install a regular wii iso to the wiiu it may cause problems.

You should use this version of SysCheck and report the results. it is much more accurate and designed for vWii.

Right on it.

That's what I had, the regular Wii. Thanks.

I sugest you use the suggested syscheck 1 more time like endoverend said

it still seems 59 and 62 could be suspicious. but its still iffy since you say sysupdate is at 1%. it would be a beter option if you can use system update via wiiu options but I don't see that happening since you have no wiiu gamepad to use

Yeah, I just don't have the WADs for 59 or 62 and don't really know where to get them. That whole sync error when trying to sync the gamepad really put a wrench in things.

 

[keven3477]

well there is still another way, apparently if you delete the ioses and then once you do the system update if successful it will restore the correct ones.

But if it isn't successful, did I put myself in a bigger rut?

And how do I go about deleting iOS's?

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I forgot about Multi-Mod Manager, my bad. Hush hush. Hah.

possibly no but the chance is still there so I shouldn't suggest this unless it was 90% sertain it would update.

p.s make sure to make a backup of youre nand

 

[Alfy Attack]

What if I backed up the iOS and then deleted it? Is there a chance of bricking the machine too during this process?

 

[keven3477]

I don't think it will brick but don't take my word for it, even though that was the same solution that worked for me

Hold your horses there. Don't go deleting anything until we know what the problem is.

His IOS revisions are fine. I compared his syscheck to mine (my Wii U updates and runs perfectly) and except for some cIOS's they were identical. Alfy, I think you just have a shitty hardware issue to be honest. The only reason Nintendo wouldn't fix your Wii U is because of the cIOS's installed (namely, IOS 249, 250, and 251). So I really think the best option is to send the console to Nintendo again with the cIOS's deleted.

Use Yet Another Blue Dump Mod to create WAD's of those 3 IOS's, then use YAWMM to uninstall them. Please don't delete any IOS under 200!

When I sent the Wii U to Nintendo, I didn't tamper with any of the iOS's and it was received back with an "Illegal Channel" written all over the box. I guess I can try again with those cIOS's deleted, and then delete the Homebrew.
I'm not sure if I'm still in warranty. I can still try though. If I did do those two (iOS deletion and Homebrew), would there be any other way possible for them to detect anything? Should I do the Wii to Wii data transfer before sending it?

I know you didn't tamper with any of the IOS's which is why I think they were brought over with the system transfer. Make sure to delete the homebrew channel via the hackmii installer (not sure if it's already installed or not) after you're done with the deletion.

It's always hard to say whether or not Nintendo will detect whatever "illegal" content is installed. It's very hard to delete all traces of hombrew but I think this should be enough. The one thing I know for sure is that you have a hardware issue that can only be fixed by Nintendo. The issue itself has nothing to do with the IOS's installed on vWii.

OOHHHH. I didn't think they would transfer over. That makes complete sense now. I did leave it in a box for a while and when I pulled it out it started acting funny.

I only installed the Homebrew via the Hackmii installer. I guess that's all I can do for now.

So basically the issue lies in the Wii U software itself, but when it was sent to them they detected the iOS's in the vWii?
