Hey everyone!
So, long story short (kind of). A friend of mine asked to borrow my WiiU a few months to play through BOTW. I guess they decided to do me a "favor" by attempting to mod my console for me. In short, my console was returned with a bricked vWii. I've spent a few days reading, and was able to get hbl2hbc loaded on the WiiU side to see if I could get in and do a syscheck on the vWii. No luck. Just a black screen. I asked if he had done a NAND backup before messing around with the console. The response I got was "umm...NAND backup?" Also asked for the guide he used so I could see what had been altered. No luck there either. Doesn't remember. Assuming he has no clue what he even did. The WiiU seems to be functioning perfectly fine. So, just wondering if there's anyone who could give me some potential assistance or suggestions? Am I SOL on unbricking? The console is on 5.5.1, so was hoping a system update to 5.5.3 might fix the problem but I get error 162-3006 when trying to do a system update. Assuming due to the bricked vWii. Would like to see if I can restore functionality, as my son uses the vWii and I'll end up having to purchase another console if I can't get this one sorted.
Thanks in advance!
