Homebrew Wii U automatically updated, will I lose my access to homebrew and hacks?

[Imaginesafety]

Hello all, I haven't touched my Wii U in months, but yesterday my friends and I decided to play Smash. I connected to the wifi and had to reset the console because I needed to re-calibrate the gamepad's analog stick.

Anyways, when it turned on it said that it was going to update and my only option was to press okay. I know for a fact I made the precautions to make sure that it would never auto update, but maybe re-connecting to the wifi disabled it (I had to reconnect because I can only connect 5 devices at a time to my wifi at school). I believe I am now firmware 5.5.2.

Forgive me because I haven't been on the forums in a while, but will I still be able to use mods and emulate through the web browser method? I don't want to try anything and mess my console up or brick it. Thanks in advance.

This is the Wii (original console) section.

You should report your post and ask for it to be moved to the Wii U section.

Homebrew still works fine on 5.5.2, but if you don't already have Haxchi (or CBHC) I suggest installing it, because the browser exploit for 5.5.2 is unstable and requires several tries to work every time.

Ooops. Appreciate it.

will there ever be a haxchi way to install without buying a game? I mean: eShop for Wii U won't be online forever, right?

This also needs to go in the Wii U section. You posted it in the classic Wii area in an unrelated topic.
