Did you have CBHC? It seems you are bricked

Yes I did. It worked well but my system kept freezing so decided to try a full reset. Oh dear.

Well the system is trying to boot a title that doesn't exist anymore. you are bricked. CBHC has a ton of warnings say NOT to format

Thanks. I figured as much but I thought I'd check. Looks like teardown for fun may be in order!

AFAIK the brick code is 160-0103. What's your error says?

No worries thanks for helping. I have one from Ebay which has always had the red blinking light issue (won't power on and Fan noise/Drive mech doesn't kick in) maybe I'll try and Frankenstein a working machine!

PS: I had rednand, no use though right?

Do you have an OTP dump? if so it might be possible to unbrick it with http://gbatemp.net/posts/7195109/

I have OTP.c and OTP.h under Apps and BlueDumpmod (i believe this relates to vWii?)

pretty sure that is useless for unbricking wii u mode

No worries, thanks. I don't recall backing up OTP but I do remember the rednand creation took a while (to clone Sysnand) but perhaps that isn't related.

Did you format from redNAND or from sysNAND?
If it's from redNAND, you can try mashing home button. [Right, formatting both can screw up everything]

Sadly SysNAND. I was pretty sure the console freezing was due to a hardware fault anyway as it would often do it on the main menu. I foolishly thought formatting Sys and keeping Red might help, but I was impatient away from the site and have paid the price. Lesson learned! I'll keep it in case it's ever revivable.

CBHC always makes your Wii U freeze for short periods of time [Atleast if you installed it on a fresh, non-hacked Wii U] It would go away after some time so you cleary fucked up there man...

ask us before you do stupid stuff next time, @pwsincd we have a new bricked Wii U!

Yeah sorry, I should have been clearer. By freezing I meant the system totally locking up on menus and during games and doing the "high pitch" sound that was quite common on the launch 8GB models (as I suspect this unit is, it is white 8GB) it wasn't a temporary pausing or such, it happened quite often and made the thing almost unplayable. But clearly for someone who has done this for a while, I should have had more patience and read up. I'll likely hang on to the unit but could offer it up for sacrifice if need be. I have a red flashing light unit that has never powered on (a random junk sale) that I will investigate now this is dead. Perhaps I can splice something together. Always read the label kids!

You can try dumping NAND from that dead Wii U [That red flashing one] and check if everything is alright. Most issues can be fixed

Jokes aside, don't throw away your broken Wii U. If you have OTP, you can wait till EyeKey creates unbrick tool.
