This is why I was adamant about creating a new ID to try. Console bans usually result in more than a shop ban, and other that I have read about having a shop ban can't do other things online (ie a console ban). It seems odd from what I have seen in other threads.. It felt like there was content they received with the Wii U, but it doesn't matter with current options on the Wii U. I could be wrong obviously, but I got the same vibe you probably got.Strange that the original owner's 3DS got his Wii U banned. I smell bullshit, because my 3DS is banned, but my Wii U is perfectly fine, and is using the NNID that was banned on my 3DS.

Yes, that's probably true. Did you even try formatting the thing and using your own ID? I'd hope so anyway. You aren't using DNS settings from here are you? Either way, still sounds completely odd. You never really told anyone what you tried other than bitching at Nintendo about "wasting your time" and doing the browser way.The Nintendo "specialist" on the phone confirmed me that this happens, if you get banned from the 3DS eshop and you use that same ID on the WiiU, you also have it banned. Still, I don't know cause the Nintendo "specialist" was so full of shit that day he might have just invented that bullshit, OR the original owner of the WiiU bullshitted me. You can never know who is the actual bullshitter really.
My only advice is: don't ever use a banned Eshop ID on another Nintendo console.
I also heard you risk bricking your console using coldboot Haxchi, am I wrong? Do you know if there is anything planned for the future? I mean in terms of a CFW on startup? Thanks man.
Oh yes, and I know what you mean, you can still do CFW through the browser, but I am investigating on startup CFW, which is ideal.

I bought it hand to hand here in latin america, there are simply no places to buy the WiiU brand new, even if I wanted to. The bastard should've mention this, you can still hack it so would've bought it anyways, it just sucks to be played like a fool

If you have the seller's contact info, I would rip him a new one for being a dingus and selling it to you like that.
Where'd you get it? I'd go demand a refund if I were you.
That still wouldn't help. Nintendo bans consoles on a device ID and NNID basis, which is why this is strange. Like I said, my 3DS received a console ban for pirating a leaked game, which resulted in the NNID being banned, but only on it. My Wii U is still perfectly fine, and it's using the same NNID. It sounds to me like the dude OP purchased the console from got busted for online cheating or something else.If we manage to spoof SSL Certificate checks then maybe.
For now, you'll have to stick with Browserhax.
Hay una forma de comprar con una consola banneada de eshop, tecnicamente solo bannean el numero de serie de la consola, pero se puede seguir comprando con el mismo nnid
There is a way to buy with a console banned eshop, technically the ban is for the serial number of the console, but you can continue to buy with the same nnid

Hi,If you had read my comments, you'd know that indeed I have, they were super rude, made me waste my time, my money (by calling from Argentina to the US) because they only have numbers in the US and my self respect after they treated me like scum. Will never call ever again, I was very polite and the guy was just imposible to talk to, he would hardly let me speak at all, horrible experience.
By the way the customer "specialist" was a Colombian accented scumbag, probably the son of a lowlife drug dealer, we both spoke spanish of course. You guys certainly receive quite some trash from latin america (honestly the guy was SUPER agressive), there are great people here, this guy in particular was very "old style" latin like, we are not like that anymore here.
