It was a system one then, my bad. It unfortunately boots directly into the formatting screen (not the regular boot sequence) and eventually after a few seconds formatting, it stops responding.

Then Wii U probably corrupted itself or replaced system.xml with call for System Format.It was a system one then, my bad. It unfortunately boots directly into the formatting screen (not the regular boot sequence) and eventually after a few seconds formatting, it stops responding.
If you have OTP then i guess even that can be fixed. Unless you will need another Wii U to redump it's NAND into yours.
You have ECC errors in your NANDs, those errors are probably the reason for the bad HMACs.
Those may be fixable ECC errors (one bit error), and if those are, everything is fine. But I don't check for that.
@Brenex, it is weird that you don't have syshax.xml. and your suggestion was actually the original thing that I did. I think that I still have those code, I will check later. And if you use this way you will only need to flash the few changed sectors back.
Which one was OTP again? I'm a newbie and get them all confused.
If I don't have any HB currently running, is the only option to do some sort of hardware mod?
Yea I just reflashed my NAND with my rednand backup after having run it through binfix and bincheck but my Wii U just boots to the Wii U screen and stop there. Bummer. I'm going to send it in for warranty repair. I would still consider making this change to your CBHC fix program. I ran through wiiu.guide and had the latest files for all the programs and it did not natively create that syshax file. Maybe that was something the previous version did?
Thanks. Any hints for how I can check whether they are correctable errors or not, e.g. which lines of your code to look at?
Regarding the vWii errors, I looked up the title IDs mentioned and they were for Majora's Mask VC, which was installed, and a Bit.Trip demo which was previously installed but wasn't installed at the time of the dump so it's odd that it had content in the /title/00010001 folder. The vWii isn't hacked so the Bit.Trip demo would have been deleted by official Wii Menu methods, nothing hacky, but looking via your NAND extractor its files are still on the NAND, which is odd.
What is odder is that I deleted Majora's Mask (and a load of save files), dumped SLCCMPT again and ran nandbincheck and this time got output:

0 superClusters had bad HMAC dataWould deleting Majora's Mask and the save files have shifted other files around, such that the Bit.Trip file is now on a different page with no ECC error? I don't know how the vWii filesystem works to know if this is possible.
Regarding /shared1/00000015.app I've been reading https://gbatemp.net/threads/nandbincheck-wii-entry-pc-software.279742/ which explains how these shared1 files come about and how to determine what file they really are by looking in the content.map. I haven't bothered doing that yet, but if I did, has there been any progress since 2011 about writing individual files into NAND, in case it's worth replacing it?
Of course, if all this is really just due to single-bit correctable errors, maybe I'm worrying about nothing.

You should expect it to be returned to you unfixed. Some people have gotten away with getting software bricks fixed, but I can't imagine Nintendo not noticing hardware mods, even if they've been reversed.
yea I figured I'd give it a try since there were other reports of them not looking inside before sending a replacement. I bought mine refurbished too from their ebay store so there's that. I did clean it up really nicely before sending it. There's no abnormal solder on the board so it looks just about pristine anyways. I'll give fixing it another go if it comes back.

I must have missed something here. Did you have a working Wii U then you tried to use the nandFixer and flashed the fixed NAND back to your Wii U and now it doesn't work?
No I had a bricked wii from formatting sysnand under CBHC. I had redNAND backups including OTP before installing CBHC. I tried flashing BinFixed rednand SLC to the Wii U and now it hangs at the Wii U screen.

can we use the vWii NAND.bin dump done in vWii mode to restore only vWii?
in vWii softmods guides there's a step to do a full NAND backup, I'm wondering if it has any use now.
We could dump and restore (but the restoration homebrew was never released) in hope a future NAND writer was released to fix broken vWii.
The users should also have their vWii keys extracted with XYZZY
A User bought a bricked vWii console without knowing it, and is hoping for a way to fix it. without OTP I guess he can't fix it. and he can't get OTP on 5.3.2, can't update to 5.5.1 because of broken vWii.
He probably can't restore a hardware vWii backup, as he won't be able to edit it without OTP or vWii key, and can't get vWii keys as he can't install HBC in vWii ...
I guess he is out of luck.
Maybe it's possible to get IOSUHack on 5.3.2 (it was initially developed before 5.5.1 ? smea had it on old version? or he worked on 5.5.1 only?) so I thought maybe someone knew how to get OTP on 5.3.2?

thank you for the information. I thought you started before 5.5.1 release.
Too bad for the users with a bricked 5.3.2 vWii
It wasn't possible on the original WUP installer, as it exited after a single installed title.
Now Y mod can install multiple Apps at the same time, but I'm not sure if it's installing ALL the app and reboots/return to menu, or if it has to exit to menu after every installed title.
We also don't know why or when the vWii is checked at wiiu update time.
If it's before the installation, is it checked by the console to decide which title to install, and then launch WUP, or if it's part of WUP to check the vWii at title install time and skip the install if something is wrong?
Someone with a hardware mod could do a test
But I wouldn't recommend it to someone without a backup to be the first user to test installing system titles with WUP.
note that all released WUP installers have system titles installation disabled.

It's very dangerous and will probably brick.

Don't. We need a specific Wup Installer mod which would allow to install System Titles with legit sig. [And in proper directory]thank you for the information. I thought you started before 5.5.1 release.

Otherwise, you're asking for a brick.

all the signature for system titles are legit and tickets provided by nintendo.
Though, I encountered a system title from 5.3.2 to 5.5.1 which is ALWAYS downloaded incorrectly, and all tools I tried couldn't extract it.
It might be an issue to install that file, unless it's really badly packed by nintendo or is intended to be bad...
You can see the one I'm referring in JNUSTool thread, I talked about it few times. (sorry, I don't have my PC with me and don't remember which title ID it is without looking in the thread myself)
PS: sorry, it's offtopic.
We should discuss it here

They're probably on purpose, most of unpacking stuff is done on console somehow...
Well unless somebody discovers a way to not install but properly update system titles then i guess...
Nintendo has many ways to stop people from downloading content from their side. All i can guess that Wii U does most of stuff when it comes to System titles and other stuff.
