Wii U Freezes on Startup

[SDIO]

The error means Not Found, which is strange, since in your screenshot it is there.
What does that show?

w.cd('/vol/storage_mlc01/usr/save/00050010/10040200')
w.ls()

[Curtis_L]

Here is the output of the corrected command.

I did some commands in wupclient to look into the users directory.

C:\Users\Curtis\Downloads\WUPClient>py -i wupclient.py

looks like the rename did sort of work, but the folder was recreated? Did you go to the wii u menu in between?

I went back to Wii U menu after running the commands to log into the main user to test if the issue was still there.

 

[SDIO]

and is it still there?

Yes, it still happens

You could try the same with your users folder in usr/save/system/pdm/ or usr/save/system/boss/

 

[Curtis_L]

You could try the same with your users folder in usr/save/system/pdm/ or usr/save/system/boss/

Below are the commands I entered for both of those directories. The were done while logged in as the new user with the System Settings open.

usr/save/system/boss/

>>> w.cd('/vol/storage_mlc01/usr/save/system/boss')

I currently have my Wii U still in the System Settings.

 

[SDIO]

Then try that if any of that helped

It still happens.

I have used wupclient to check the two previously edited directories.

C:\Users\Curtis\Downloads\WUPClient>py -i wupclient.py
0x0
>>> w.cd('/vol/storage_mlc01/usr/save/system/pdm')

At that point it is probably easier to just migrate your save games to the new user and deleting the old one

Maybe try removing or sining in to the Nintendo ID first
