Wii U error code 157-9999

[ButtBoyBoris]

Hello,

I have a Wii U that gives me a error 157-9999 when booting up. It tells me to power off and try again, it gives this error code every time. I have tried to find a answer, but it doesn't seem to be a common error message?! Would appreciate any information what the problem could be

Thanks in advance!

If you have an SD in or USB connected remove that and see what happens

Hmmm there is nothing in the SD or USB slot....... Thanks for your reply

Guess we need syslogs to see what's going on.

If there's a CFW running try using this:

Spoiler

Edit the IP at line 30 to the one of your Wii U, then uncomment line 868 ( # w.dump_syslog()) and run it from a terminal while the Wii U shows the error screen.

In case there is no CFW running you'll need https://gbatemp.net/threads/udpih-usb-host-stack-exploit-recovery-menu.613369/

I have the logs and got them using the recovery menu, thought it was an error with the "titles" and tried the fix with GaryOderNichts/udpih. But it didnt fix the error message.

I have attached the logs in this message, I have locked at them.... but i have no clue what to look for:/

Oh no, we have eMMC corruption:

Can you go to the System Information in the recovery menu and show MLC Manufacturer and Date?

 

[V10lator]

show MLC Manufacturer and Date?

Date would be good to know but manufacturer is written in the logs already:

pnm=[HYNIX ]

//EDIT: @ButtBoyBoris You should start making yourself familiar with NAND-AID as this is clearly a hardware issue: https://gbatemp.net/threads/using-nand-aid-to-replace-a-hardware-damaged-mlc-160-0103-error.636361/

So it's not just one gile that i corrupted. The eMMC needs to be replaced. NAND-AID can help with that.

Oh no, we have eMMC corruption:

Can you go to the System Information in the recovery menu and show MLC Manufacturer and Date?

That don't sound to good:/ But here is a picture of the system information

 

[SDIO]

Yeah 2012 Hynix as expected.
Use this recovery on a 64GB or larger SD to dump SLC+MLC: https://github.com/jan-hofmeier/recovery_menu/releases/tag/v0.5.0-1

Then pull power from the Wii U and only turn it on again, afte ryou replaced the eMMC (see the link from @V10lator for that)

Okey! Big thanks to both of you on my problem!

I have read the guide and I will try to see if I can do this..... But it seems a bit hard. But I will read the guide a couple of times before I try it out

Just one question, were do I buy the NAND-AID? Seems better to have that one over the sd-card adapter.

 

[SDIO]

Yeah buying it is a little bit of a problem. You could order it from a PCB manufacturer yourself, but then you have to many, which you could sell to other users on the forum. Maybe @Lazr1026 has some left, but not sure if she will do international shipping.

Okey, if I were to use a PCB seller, where can I find the files for them to use? Will it only be the board or does it include the micro sd reader on the board as well?

Another question: If I were to try and use a sd-adapter instead, is there a guide for this? Did see the pictures, but didn't find the value for the little component in-between and we're all the wires goes to on the board.

 

[V10lator]

Okey, if I were to use a PCB seller, where can I find the files for them to use?

Just added a section for this to the howto:

It's always a good idea to ask if someone near you has one. They might be willing to sell it for cheap.
Else the community is currently talking to PCB manufactureres, so we might get a large batch for cheap. In case anything works out great we will be able to sell them to you for cheap, too (current estimated price for a single PCB: $0.50).

If that doesn't work for you you can also go to some PCB manufacturer like https://jlcpcb.com and let them do the printing. This is around $30 for 5 PCBs, so you could resell 4 to other users. The gerber file is available here and the important options are a thickness of 0.6 mm and castellated holes.

Hope this helps.

If I were to try and use a sd-adapter instead, is there a guide for this?

A guide for an SD adapter is available here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-i-fixed-160-0103-system-memory-error.626448/

didn't find the value for the little component in-between

That component is a ceramic capacitor:

Honestly, anything between 100nF to 10uF should be just fine.

(in fact it might even be possible to use no cap at all but this hasn't been tested, so we don't recommend it).

Iam soooo thankful for the time all of you have taken to help me out Its amazing the work that have been put into making the "fixes"!

I will check everything out and give it a try!

I have looked at the post and read the process...... But couldn't find a picture were the cables from the adapter goes on the board?! Found one picture, but it's hard to see the exact point were the wires goes to. I really liked the pictures in the first guide, were a great picture of a avfärd adapter with different colors on the wires, would be great to have a picture of this connected to the main board

 

[V10lator]

couldn't find a picture were the cables from the adapter goes on

Maybe @SDIO has a picture? Else I'll do one later.

Would really appreciate that! Think I will try the adapter..... If nobody here have one extra to sell.

Great!! Thanks, now maby..... Just maby I can do this

 

[Lazr1026]

Maybe @Lazr1026 has some left, but not sure if she will do international shipping.

Ive only seen this now. i can do international but its probably cheaper to just get your own @ButtBoyBoris.

(in fact it might even be possible to use no cap at all but this hasn't been tested, so we don't recommend it).

I have a console with no capacitor at all, theres no issues with it at all.
