Hacking Official CBHC v1.6 - ColdBoot HaxChi CFW

[Mythical]

when you power on your wii u press home when you see the autobooting cfw on the screen, make sure to autoboot sysmenu

I did have autoboot homebrew launcher on. I'll try a few things with autoboot sys menu on instead

Autoboot sysnand is booting cfw, after you do that you can just install a channel to load the homebrew channel with wup installer.

also I believe -3 error was because it couldnt find your homebrew launcher

I already have a functional cfw layout except for some reason the haxchi and cbhc installers. Currently trying to uninstall cfw. tried a few sd cards, backed up, reformated, pasted and still a no go
edit: nothing seems to change with sysmenu launching. Any other ideas I'm at the end of my rope it seems

to uninstall cbhc choose uninstall from the cbhc menu you entered while pressing home after turning on your console, that will turn cbhc into haxchi, then you can go on the eshop an reinstall the zelda game to get rid of haxchi

It only gives me boot options and the option to change autoboot
boot sys menu
boot hbl
boot mocha
boot fw.ing on sd
boot vii sys meni
boot vwii hbl
autoboot: system menu

I'm pretty sure there is an uninstall option, I can't check on mine because I am awaiting some parts for a repair.

You don't uninstall CBHC in there. You have to launch the CBHC installer again from in homebrew and click B to uninstall.

This will still leave the CBHC icon on the system menu but the autobooting screen should be gone when you restart. If the autobooting screen is gone then it is safe to uninstall the game in data management.

my problem is the haxchi installer and the cbhc installer won't load so I'm unable to do that

seems to be in the installer which I can't load rip

I have some extra eshop cash. doubt it helps but I wouldn't mind buying another cbhc installable game if that could help

I don't think this is anything to do with the CFW. Lets try some things because CBHC can boot without an SD.

Remove SD and restart wiiu. Press home when it says Autobooting and change the autoboot option to "System Menu". Then click "Boot System Menu" and it should put you in without the SD.

Now go to wii u settings and look in the top right hand corner. If it says 99.99.99 then cfw is loading and working as it should be. If that is the case it's time to start looking at the sd.

I've already ested with h2wtest and everything came out fine. I also tried several cards ad rebacking and formating. Maybe I could run it from the usb somehow? (Also cfw is loaded)

Try formatting it with guiformat to 32768 allocation and name it anything except wiiu. http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?guiformat.htm

Then get a premade zip from here and extract it to the root of your SD. https://jorgev259.github.io/wiiusetup/

Then give it another go.

I tried that and I'm still having the same issues. I'm so stumped rn

So with them files you can get into homebrew ok and you can launch other apps like appstore etc but just haxchi and cbhc installers are giving you a black screen? Or something different?

Exactly everything works except those two apps which give a black screen

This is new on me and I've seen a lot of errors lol. This is a long shot but when you go into homebrew go and launch mocha once and then try one of the installers. The mocha in the zip I gave you should put you straight back into the homebrew menu.

Also make sure any USBs are unplugged when you are testing things in case you installed the game to both by accident.

Yeah, tbh this doesn't really make any sense to me. I've modded a lot of consoles too
I've made sure about the usb thing so far (said so on the cbhc page)
I tried mocha and it did redirect me back the the homebrew launcher, but it wouldn't load the installer.
I tried other homebrew this method and it they work fine. once again just the installers

Is there any other safe way to return the console to stock firmware? I don't care if I lose everything

The only other way I know of is to edit the system.xml file to point it back to the system menu instead of the game title. I really wouldn't advise doing this tho unless you 100% know what you are doing because it's quite easy to brick.

I'm still baffled why they wont load tho, even got me googling

would it be a recoverable brick? I'll make a nand backup and try if so

You need hardware and soldering to restore a nand on wiiu. Mainly a teensy
