Once in Mocha I am supposed to again load Homebrew via browser and this is where I get stuck. I keep either getting stuck on a white screen or I get an error saying I'm not on wifi. I can't proceed to install the actual Homebrew Channel per the guide.
why are you using redNAND ?
is it a choice, or do you think you HAVE to?
if it's a choice, that's fine. I'm asking because a lot of people think they NEED redNAND to hack the wiiu which is wrong.
I don't understand the part I quoted.
You are not explaining properly these steps. You are saying that "once in mocha" you have to launch the browser.
You didn't really explain if you are still in Mocha (Mocha is NOT redNAND, Mocha is the homebrew that reloads the console in redirected NAND mode) or if you are stuck inside redNAND after launching Mocha.
backup SD card to PC
browser -> Mocha > redNAND option > format SD card to create a copy of your WiiU to hidden partition
restore SD backup from PC to SD
browser > Mocha
<----- is this where it's stuck to white screen ?
or
browser > Mocha > redNAND option > successfully reload the wiiu using redirected partition on SD > browser from redirected NAND
<--- or here ?
if you see the WiiU menu, and your issue is launching the browser again from this redirected NAND mode saying the network is not correctly setup, then just run the redNAND's WiiU settings>network, and check if everything is correct.
you will stay in the redirected NAND located on SD card until you shutdown the console. even when you exit the settings you will be in redNAND.
I understand that the NAND copy should have kept all the original NAND settings, and if it worked 5mins ago it should still work on redNAND, but just check your settings and try a connection test. check the DNS setting is correct (or remove it, there's no new console update to block), at least not today.
