Is it safe to migrate from MochaCFW/Haxchi to Tiramisu/Aroma?

[Moon164]

So... I haven't used my Wii U for a long time, this last week I finally bought a new Wii U GamePad and was able to enjoy the last moments of the Online service.

I found out about the new unlocking method but they told me that it could be bricked if I tried to migrate to it.

How can I change unlocks safely? (and how can I back up the Wii U's NAND safely too?)

Safe to migrate, just follow direction in the link above.

Yes, just to add a bit more info, you should use ISFSHax. It offers a more powerful brick protection (even better than UDPIH) and it gives even more freedom than before, you can use a plugin with it to make the console to not power on the GamePad when booting.

Truthfully the only thing that absolutely has to be done is remove CBHC if you have it installed. Disable it completely. Do not delete the app itself or format the system. That will brick the system. Just go through the installer and tell it to uninstall cbhc.

Wait, I thought I needed to uninstall Haxchi (I use MochaCFW through Homebrew)

Should I uninstall it or not?, or could this brick my console?

Follow the guide provided. Uninstalling base Haxchi only requires uninstalling the app itself technically. if you wanted to start from scratch really all you would have to do it make sure CBHC is uninstalled properly and delete everything. But obviously a transition like listed in the guide would be faster.

The only thing I'd add is don't forget to dump your RedNAND saves
