You dont need, sens the wiiu is powered. But be sure to ground it, like in Leeful's picLeeful, where are you attaching the 3v pin? I don't see it connected in your pictures
The 3v pin is not connected to the WiiU at all. I just had the WiiU powered on.Leeful, where are you attaching the 3v pin? I don't see it connected in your pictures
yes.I just checked and yes, R120 is conencted to Vcc. So, did you power the NAND using the Wii U's normal power cable since you couldn't get the teensy to power it?
Not sure on this. I know the TSOP chip runs at 3.3v so I thought that the teensy also needed to be running at 3.3v. Even if it is not powering the chip itself. Better to be safe than sorry. Anyone else any info/thoughts on this?oh interesting. I thought that teensy would be able to power the NAND through the 3.3v channel on the teensy board. In that case, I guess the 3.3v teensy mod isn't really necessary then? I have already done it anways, just saying.

I also tried to power the chip using an old PC ATX poer suppy but I could not get the teensy to recognise the chip. Everything shared the same ground and the 3.3v was correct but I just could not get it to work. mabe the wrong VCC connection point on the wiiU motherboard?

Sorry, I got the procedure wrong for booting the WiiU with the teensy. It should be:
Connect the teensy to the WiiU.
Press power button on the WiiU.
Then connect the teensy to the PC and run the INFO command.
Great to see you have made some progress with this. I'm gonna have to try it. I've been putting off doing the soldering for too long now.
On another note I've been trying to decrypt the nand dumps and this is what I've found that works.:
Code:To decrypt the image: openssl aes-128-cbc -d -nopad -K YOUR_KEY_FROM_OPT -iv 00000000000000000000000000000000 -in Input.img -out Decrypted.img

To make it more easy to get the OTP keys I've attatched a python script to extract the need keys for each nand. Just run it in the same folder as your otp.bin
Although this might not help the current situation it may be useful to someone in the future.
Where do these diagrams come from? I have a shitty soldering iron and lifted two solder points from the board. Are there any alternative solder points?@Tommy084 Great to see someone else can confirm the eMMC dumping works. Could you let me know the make and model of the SD Card reader you used so that I can add it to the 'Working card readers list' in the OP. cheers.
When did you make your Rednand? Before or after you installed CBHC?
If it was before you installed CBHC writing back just the eMMC (MLC.img) backup from the rednand wont help because the modified VC game CBHC uses will not be on there.
On the other hand if the rednand backup was created after you installed CBHC it might work if it was only the modified VC game that caused the brick.
If the modified system.xml is the cause of the brick, writing back just the eMMC wont help because system.xml is on the TSOP nand and that needs to be dumped with a teensy.
Thats why the best bet to recover from a brick is to restore both the eMMC and the TSOP nands.
I still have not got around to soldering up the TSOP yet but if you want to try it out before me here are some pics I made that I was gonna post when I did it:

I'm not sure if the 3.3v needs to be connected to the WiiU at all yet(or where to put it. some say TP163 is the 3.3v supply to the nand but here Crediar says that is not 3.3v).
I was going to just power up the wiiU with the eMMC clock jumper disconnected so that it is in the same state that allows the eMMC to be dumped.
If that does not work the TSOP will have to be powered with the WiiU switched off with its own 3.3v power supply from either the Teensy (might not be enough) or from another power suppy.
On the Teensy side the Teensy needs to be converted to 3.3v and you will need NANDway.py here and you would program your teensy with the NANDway_DualNANDEdition.hex.
I wish I could try it myself but still I'm waiting for a new magnifying lamp to do the soldering.
UPDATE: DO NOT USE THE DUAL NAND EDITION SETUP AS MENTIONED ABOVE, INSTEAD USE THE SIGNAL BOOSTER EDITION SETUP AS I COULD NOT GET CONSISTANT DUMPS USING DUAL NAND EDITION !!!

They were my own images. Which points did you loose from the board?Where do these diagrams come from? I have a shitty soldering iron and lifted two solder points from the board. Are there any alternative solder points?
