Hardware How I fixed 160-0103 system memory error

[IngeniousDefault]

No, it says it requires MochaPayload (which is part of Tiramisu and Aroma).

Thank you! I was able to get it to work now,

@IngeniousDefault do you want to share the result? And does your wii u have problems?

My European 32 GB launch Wii U has a Toshiba hard drive while my Japanese white 32 GB Wii U I bought May 2015 has a Samsung hard drive. Both systems work flawlessly.

If you're interested in mdinfo results, my 32GB Wii U has a Hynix chip. Still works just fine, though.

Could you take a picture and show it, please? I guess @SDIO is esp. interrested in knowing the CID.

 

[skawo]

Certainly.

Thank you. As a follow up question from my end: What brand is your SD card? Just asking as mdinfo says "Unknown", so we might want to add it to the database.

 

[skawo]

It's a 32GB SanDisk, just like this one.

September 2012 This is right in the suspected timeframe. Could you create a NAND Backup and check it with wfs-extract?

 

[skawo]

I am waiting for a 64GB SD card to arrive to make one. Unless there is a way to dump over wifi?

 

[SDIO]

You could try to download all files over ftpiiu everywhere and watch out for errors

 

[skawo]

OK. Will do that.

We can backup the NAND parts individually? For example, only the SLC. Then only the MLC? Or do we have to do the whole thing at once?

Might be easier to do it in parts if you're doing it over FTPiiUE?

 

[skawo]

I am attempting to download just the slc and mlc at the moment. So far, no transfer errors.

Edit: SLC completed fine.
Edit2: I checked the SLC logs, and the only mentions of MEDIA ERROR are for the SD card. There are no corruption errors.

MLC and SLC should be backed up together as the SLC cache needs to match the MLC content. The other things you can dump individually.

 

[skawo]

The MLC dumped, and the only errors were related to dumping files from what appears to be New Super Mario Bros. U update data.

/title/0005000e/10101e00

If I launch NSMBU, though, everything works fine, so that's bizzare. There is also no way that the update data actually contains all of these files, as, uh, it's only 79MB. The actor folder on its own should be 132MB...

EDIT: After further investigation and extracting this update locally on my computer, it seems that the files that fail to transfer are just packs of zeroes (unchanged?) in the update; all the files that do not fail from this folder have actual content in them. Maybe that's why it fails? But if so, then FTPiiU's not the perfect tool to be checking this with, as this seems like a false negative.

If the above is the case, which I suspect it is, then the MLC dumped fine. I will check this again when the SD card arrives.

Wait, how are you doing that? For the SLC you would need a teensy. Raspberry Pi is for the MLC. Are you mixing these two up?

There is a project that works on the pi zero for slc as well.

@skawo Did you use the console regularly or was it unused for some time?

 

[gorgyrip]

@SDIO, what happens if you power on your console without the sd card that replaced the emmc? Does the blue light stays on, or is it blinking? Do you still get video on the tv? Maybe you also know how the console behaves when the slc is dead/blank/removed.

@skawo Did you use the console regularly or was it unused for some time?

The console was and continues to be in use somewhat regularly, yes.
