Yup! I took the .elf file you sent me and put that on the root of the sd card. There are no other files present on the sd.Did you name it boot.elf and put it in the SD root?

Bad idea, no body is going to buy a Wii U with a bad vWii Mode!I feel like my situation is truly a lost one... I might consider selling this wii u on Craigslist or something for cheap and buying a whole new unit...
It should detect the boot.elf file no matter what. Try another SD card.
The vWii Virtual NAND is somewhat like the original wii's NAND, altho the IOS architecture is a little different. So in other words installing a IOS for the Wii on vWii is very dangerous, but of course it will not brick or damage the Wii U OS (Cafe OS/Firmware). Altho resetting the Wii U will cause vWii to be completely wiped and reset. So try uninstalling all the cIOS's, and reinstalling the one's designed for vWii, not Wii!
Hope this Info helps in any way.

Seems reasonable, it's your Wii U were talking about here.Well i mean i would advertise it only works with wii u games and would sell it for possibly around 100-150$.
It's not something I've ever tried before. You have a cIOS, which means you should be able to install custom channels. However, as you know from experience, a normal IOS doesn't work properly on a Wii U because of the new drivers. You can do SOME stuff with it though. What it comes down to is, can IOS249 (based on an IOS from a real Wii) run the installer properly.This sounds like hope but will it really work? Can you run me through this process, i'm afraid i may screw myself again. Can someone also confirm that this is also a possible viable solution.
How do you plan to install it?can someone PM me IOS58-64-v6432.wad please?
How do you plan to install it?
You still shouldn't be able to install it, but check your inbox in a few minutes.SmashStack
Homebrew Launcher, not the hackmeinstaller
Using the Wad Manager
Or maybe a better way? I made a mistake to install the 6175 version, so the HBC is no longer working and can't install it with HackMeInstaller (hang on scam screen)
Others things to do after reinstalled the oringal IOS58?
THanks for reply

I gave this a shot but it immediatly hung up on me.It's not something I've ever tried before. You have a cIOS, which means you should be able to install custom channels.

If it works, this will be a whole new way to recover from a vWii semi-brick.
No. IOS's aren't region specific.forgot to say... My WiiU is European (PAL) version.
Does it matter?
Do you mean you gave loading through WiiMod a shot? If so, do you mean it hung as soon as you selected the HBF?I gave this a shot but it immediatly hung up on me.

No, it wasn't using IOS58. I tried to load IOS249 and run from there. Unfortunately, it seems because 249 was based on a Wii IOS it didn't work.Correct! there is actually an apploader inside WiiMod that allows me to run apps. I believe the problem lies with everything trying to run IOS58 and crashing due to it not being the proper IOS.

PS: I know there is an app loader, I was the one who told you to use it.
