It wasn't really essential besides getting common keys and Starbuck ancast key. That being said, I suppose we could really use them right now, so I'm just a derp.
And for the average person who doesn't know what that means, we basically just have to find where the stuff we were using before got shoved around to in the new version.
I'd say later rather than sooner. But it's worth the wait to play WWHD.

If that's all a browser exploit is useful for, tell me this. How else do we run code in Wii U mode?
I meant that's all f0f used it for, or at least all they showed it doing.
My thought was if this one gets patched, we can keep using it to learn more about the system on an older version. Then, if we find a solid kernel exploit or whatever, we can whip up a new one to release alongside that kernel exploit.
Having a kernel exploit is completely useless if you lack a userspace one, because you need a userspac exploit to trigger the kernel one. If the userspace exploit is patched, the kernel exploit won't help us, we need a new userspace one.
Clearly you don't since you seem to think the browser exploit is useless.That's what I'm saying. I just phrased it awfully. I 100% get you.

Altough, if they have multiple gig's of eMMC storage, why would they still use the 512 MB nand flash for storage?
Makes we wonder again if it's possible to backup the eMMC with an sd reader, and restore it afterwards to regain an older firmware revision again.
They might have stored the software revision number in the nand flash as well and use that to check for downgrades.

I'm not sure if anyone's actually probed for eMMC test points yet. It's worth a try.

I believe the nand flash is actual a 1 gig. But 512mb is used like always for wii/vwii compatibility.
There are 2 NAND banks, each 512MiB in size. One is used for vWii mode and one is for the Wii U mode OS.
