Hacking do I even need rednand?

[wolf-snake]

Every iosuhax fork should have signature patches. If you have a working fw.img that's all you should need. You'll know if it doesn't work if wupinstaller refuses to install

Ok so i guess i do have everything i need to test this, i already installed vWii Homebrew Channel using that fw.img.

 

[wolf_]

so to run the signature patch just boot fw.img with cfw booter and when it ask to format just hit home?

@Kohmei so i need to run fw.img
and wait some seconds untill reboot or press home? After this i will INSTALL(wupinstaller) dlc with fake ticket patched, that is it?
I will test tomorrow Fast Racing Neo Dlc.

 

[Kohmei]

I'm unfamiliar with fw.img that asks to format. If it's for rednand, I haven't used any of those. I am using a build that was compiled before rednand was available

Hyrule Warriors complete DLC from Wii U USB Helper works perfectly using Fix's iosuhax without Rednand.

May I ask how that works? I thought we needed RedNAND for DLC installation, at least, without paid DLC?

If all you want is to remove sig checks, you don't need rednand. Legit tickets can be installed and the games can be run without issue from sysnand. Illegitimate tickets and DLC also do not require rednand, just just require iosuhax. Titles installed with hacked tickets will simply not boot until you run iosuhax, then they will work just fine. I haven't tested DLC yet but I'm about to

Does this means I can just download a DLC and install it with rednand and it can run with the sysnand version of that game?

Wait.. what? I han have free dlc with out rednand?

 

[Kohmei]

Sysnand can be sig patched just like rednand. But it is not sig patched from boot until coldboothax is released, so you have to run iosuhax every time you start the system to run games with fake signatures

Wait.. what? I han have free dlc with out rednand?

When did I miss that? xDDDDDD

@wolf-snake said it, not me XD It sounds like it, but I don't have high hopes for it outside RedNAND.

I didn't want to try RedNAND but if it allows me to do that.. and play from sysnand that dlc I'm all over it lol

Just tried with Mighty switch force, on USB from sysNAND: worked successfully!

To make it clear for anyone confused (supposed you're on the wiiu menu and you have the CFW Booter homebrew on your SD Card):
1) put fw.img (any should do it, but be careful where you find it) to the root of the sd card
2) Launch Internet Browser then Homebrew Launcher (on loadiine.ovh)
3) Load CFW Booter, the screen will become red with "Welcome to redNAND" then "Initializing" written on it, don't worry, it's gonna launch that fw.img file
3a) Wait like 10 seconds, the wiiu will reboot to the menu.
4) Launch Internet Browser and the Homebrew Launcher again
5) Now Load "WupInstaller Mod y"
6) Press X to install your Eshop game/DLC on your USB or external HDD
6a) If it worked, you should see the install is in progress
7) Once done successfully, press home, you're gonna be redirected to Mii Maker: press Home then WiiU Menu
8) ????????
9) Profit !!

I know my english isn't that good for tutorials, but that's how i proceeded accorded to what Kohmei said, just wanted to make it easier and clearer for you all, i hope it is now~

PS: The game/dlc will probably no longer work once you shutdown the console, if so:
Repeat the steps 2 and 3 then lunch your game/dlc from wiiu menu. Simply easy.
PPS: Once you did steps above, as long you keep your wiiu on, you can just repeat steps 4 to 7 for each content you want to install separately.

I think there were just large assumptions being made by the community since it's mostly blind-leading-the-blind here

Rednand seems generally useless for Wii U because you will never be able to update it without bricking the Wii U, which is the one bonus that rednand would provide -- being able to update to latest FW without losing entry points

That sounds a bit risky for some reason, it's not that I doubt anyone, oh no, but I'll wait till more people try that out before I try it myself.

That means that cfw is activated.
