Hacking Rednand backup from sdxc 128Go restore to sdhc 16Go all games disappeared from hdd

hotmykeul · Sep 23, 2017

Hello,

I have a problem, I think it's impossible to restore a rednand like the title said.
I've used sdio nand extractor 1.1, I've used a 128Go sdxc card to install games on hdd. After that I wanted to use a 16Go card, so I've backuped the 128Go sdxc and restored to the 16Go SDHC. But the 16Go SDHC boot to rednand but first time try to load the hard drive and after that, all games disappear. The second boot do not try to load anything.

If I reinsert the 128Go, I recover all my games.

I'm not able to find anything related on this problem.
Do you have any ideas please?

Thanks you in advance.
Sorry for my bad English.

Did you make sure to dump/restore all three parts of the redNAND? I have used sdio for moving from one SD to another so I know it works fine and you keep everything.
The order in which its done might matter as well but im not sure on that, I simply did SLC, SLCMPT, MLC, in that order for both the dump and the restore.

Make sure the new SD is partitioned and mounted correctly as well.

Yes, retored everythings in this order SLC SLCMPT & MLC. I tried to redump just in case, same problem. To be sure I've restored the dump of my 128Gb on the same SDXC card, and now same problem. So I lost all my games I think.
I don't understand why but I think it is related to sdhc sdxc. My SDHC is a sandisk ultra micro sd but the other SDXC is hama 128Gb micro SD with adapter.
Did you do the same backup/restore from/on sdhc/sdxc?

I have sometimes error -3 or -4 when I launch haxchi (it launch mocha by default).

Well do they show when your old card is inserted?

no, not anymore, I will do some test to understand what's happen.

I will try to extract my rednand to see what is inside What is the part who register all games ? slc slccmpt or mlc please?

if it does not bring anything, I will try to reformat my HDD, reinstall 1 game on my 128Gb and backup and restore on 16Gb to see if the game appear.

Does we can explore the hdd? Any software?

Something strange, I booted on rednand, and launched haxchi who launched hbl, I lanunched wup installer, and tried to install system config tool on nand (rednand in fact if i'm not wrong), but an error occured like sigpatch is disabled. I believe my mocha rednand lost sigpatch or something. My wii is 5.5.2.

How I can check if my rednand is correctly sigpatched please?

Sounds like you're booting into sysNAND cause redNAND is always sigpatched afaik.
As for the type of card it is that doesn't matter, the SDHC/SDXC thing is just there since different size cards have a different ID/spec but its the same.

On the new card you made sure to have two partitions right? the first one is to be a bit bigger then your MLC(internal storage), I gave it 35GB since my WiiU is 32GB.
It must not be formatted and must not be mounted so make sure it does not show up at all except in your partitioning tool.

The second partition must be fat32 formatted and must be to the right of the first blank one and must show up in windows so that it will have a letter.
Once thats set up run sdio as admin and for the letter give it the one for the fat32 partition, it will see the blank one itself and do the rest.

This is what I did at least :/
