I turned on my Wii U but wasn't quick enough to prevent the update download to 5.5.2 so I'm stuck on this version. My question is, would it still be possible to install vWii on this version, since AFAIK only the Browser Exploit's been patched?
Do you have HaxChi or CBHC. I surely hope so. If not did you follow a guide with the fortitude to instruct you to perform a nand backup? If your answer is no to all these questions then quite simply... You're fucked!I turned on my Wii U but wasn't quick enough to prevent the update download to 5.5.2 so I'm stuck on this version.

This is true if you plan on using a game exploit. You won't be able to use IOSU to hack the v Wii from Wii U if you dont have HaxChi on 5.5.2. Browserhax is impossible right now on 5.5.2.Sounds like the OP was talking vWii only. If so, I don't believe anything would prevent installing vWii since that's completely independent of the Wii U menu. I just tested my current vWii hack with 5.5.2 (updated while daughter was playing) and everything works fine still (Homebrew channel, Nintendont, USB Loader, etc.)

Yes but there are ways to write files between those 2 os apparently (since Wii U homebrew can hack vWii/ patch vwii Os)To be honest I think yes but no at the same time. It looks like the vWii is another Firmware took from the Wii and modified to be "emulated" somehow because when you compare a Wii emulator to the vWii, they're pretty much the same thing. Also a note on that : it sounds like vWii and NWiiU are both different OS that each other can boot in. Sounds like a DualBoot.
