So Just turned on my system on after a about a year (had everything installed and working fine), and it goes from CBHC => WiiU Screen (logo in bottom right) => Black screen with "-5" in top left.

How screwed am I?

just press home button when seeing cbhc message and choose boot to sysmenu, you probably have it to bot to something on sd card that isnt there anymore.

Pretty sure @pedro702 is correct:

From the haxchi source : haxchi/dsrom/hbl_loader/sd_loader/src/entry.c
a -5 indicates a failure on an open file command for read from SD. Nothing to worry about in terms of brick.

status = private_data->FSOpenFile(pClient, pCmd, filepath, "r", &iFd, -1);
if(status != 0) {
private_data->OSFatal("-5");
}

Looks like the card inside it had been touched at some point HBL was missing from app folder. Redownloaded it and all is well

he probably try to load mocha at boot, and doesn't have it anymore on the SD.
or it's in the wrong folder.
lot of users forget to put /apps/ in /wiiu/

/apps/ <-- wii homebrew
/wiiu/apps/ <-- wiiu homebrew
Nope just was missing HBL. Thanks for trying to help though =]

What's the difference between 2.5u2 and 1.6?
2.5u2 is Haxachi ,1.6 is cbhc
Haxachi you run every time you reboot
Cbhc is more permanent method
Don't install CBHC unless you have read about ALL of it first you can brick with cbhc
First try Haxachi and make sure it works. You MUST have a legit purchased eshop game for the either or you will BRICK your console and it will be unrecoverable.

Please read more about them.

If you have CBHC installed, leave it alone and don’t touch it. I doubt we will get another update for it anyway so just leave it as it is.

I haven't really touched my Wii U for a good 8 months, and I see there's a new update for the Wii U. Is it safe to update even with CBHC installed?
It is safe to update to 5.5.2 if you have Haxchi or CBHC installed.

If one is still using the browser to launch CFW, then 5.5.2 is not recommended.

Thx for your answer, but after trying it out I see that when using CBHC + Rednand, it automatically blocks updates from Nintendo. What can I do about it? Should I change the autoboot options in the start into something else?

EDIT: Btw I'm using Mocha for Rednand. I'm pretty sure I got it from wiiu.hacks.guide but I can't seem to find it there anymore. Has it been removed because of the risk of bricking?

Yes, boot into SysNAND. You may have deleted the update folder, you’ll have to remake it. If you still can’t update, you need to uninstall CBHC (but not Haxchi), and then install the system update without running Haxchi.

She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
    +1
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm

    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds

    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space

    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
