i mean, it definitely shouldn't give people any more reason to bother the poor soul, but it's not like it seriously hinders his workflow

no but it seriously floads this thread with pages of the same thing. Like from now and next week this thread will probable collect 10 pages more. And none of which will have any usefull information

DID YOU EVEN READ MY POST RIGHT ABOVE YOURS

Ok, let's get this straight,
first of all, calm down with the shouting, it's making my ears ring and diminishing any point you try to make.
then, who are you to decide what should or shouldn't be made in this thread, i get it, you are a member who joined really long ago, so you have good reasons, but does that give you any authority to impose anything on anyone ? i don't think so, but if i am mistaken, please let me know.
If i understood your point well, you were affraid that people asking for more details like the compatible firmwares or release schedule or features and such may hinder his will to keep us updated and diminish his progress, if so, then i fail to see how my question, which is asking about weather the IOSU exploit was a full IOSU or only userland isn't meaningful, as it may bring some constructive insight and can be answered in a mere 5 seconds, if he wishes to do so.

If you see anything i missed in my argument, please let me know, so we can debate about it in lengths, but if you decide to do so, refrain from pressing the "caps lock" button.

which is exactly how this thread has been since early june. if you're expecting one dev post to stop that, you're banking pretty hard on a miracle.

I'm not expecting anyone's post to stop it. I'm expecting everyone to stop posting pointlessly but yea I'm expecting far too much

I've awakened the beast. You must use text-to-speech if caps make your ears ring.

I don't consider myself to have any authority, though maybe a little respect through seniority, and just wanted to stop this thread from gaining 17 pages in 17 minutes. I get that people are excited and thirst for more information based on their unique setup, but that will all be obvious when it's released and you try it. It doesn't require being brought up now. Sure, your question could be answered with a simple yes/no in 5 seconds. But when there is 45 of those (and there still will be), it will take much longer than that.

I'm actually an extremely sarcastic and passive-aggressive person, though, so don't take my caps-lock message too seriously (I'm on mobile so it actually took more effort for caps than a keyboard). I just thought it was funny/ironic that you both quoted and tagged Hykem after I had posted my message lol. (Edit: I guess you didn't tag him, oops)

I don't think (though I've been wrong before and I'll be wrong again) that IOSU access has a usermode/kernel mode. It's just IOSU, and he exploited it (Edit: apparently this is one of those times). Hykem mentioned explicitly that it doesn't need PPC kernel access.

And since I despise politically correctness, Merry Christmas to all, whether you practice it or not.

you are actually wrong on one point (not to sound like a dick, simply for accuracy's sake), IOSU contains usermode and kernel mode level privileges, from what @Hykem once said, i believe, thus why i was curious about that, and the fact that you only quoted my message and not anyone else's kinda triggered me, well...it did so way less that the caps lock tho

Time to clear the air again.

The following statements are facts:
- I have successfully compromised the Wii U's IOSU;
- The exploit being used works from 2.0.0 up to 5.5.0, but it obviously needs to be ported for each firmware;
- The exploit doesn't need PPC kernel access, so the new kernel exploit won't have to be released.

I want to do some kind of Christmas surprise yes, but take that with a grain of salt. I can't promise I will have the time to get everything ready by then and I'm not disclosing what will be released.
Keep in mind that releasing the exploit "as-is" is pointless, so it will have to be ported first and most likely obfuscated so it will take a little longer to patch. It's also worth noting that I will have to develop an easy way to block updates so no one updates past 5.5.0 by accident.

If you don't believe in anything stated above, that's not my problem. The best (and easiest) thing to do is wait and see.

This is awesome news!
Won't it be more meaningful to wait a few days after fw >5.5.0 to be out to include those who have accidentally updated past 5.5.0?

 

[Antonio Ricardo]

Easy way to block updates so no one updates past 5.5.0 by accident = Emunand or something like that.
So if we want more people benefiting on WIIU Scene, of course priority(hykem release) will release for last update firmware(5.5.0) and devs ported to others firmwares after this.

"Emunand = easy"

Woa! Hold your horses, mate I'm pretty sure there are some easier ways

 

[uqbn]

So the 5.5.0 is better option than 5.4.0? Should I update?

no. stop updating your shit!

LOL
Emunand is a easy and safe way for normal people not update but hard to develop (devs).
Understood? But i agree, i think understood wrong what he wanted to say (easy way for him develop but at same time safe for us normal people)...lol
Now i understood when said the IOSU have his own kernel and after hykem explain everything became clearer.

LOL... I waited for this one. Yeah it might be good if you just wait till the release before deciding to update or not ^^.

 

[benzs129]

I want to play xnoblade should I update to 5.5 now by disc? I'm on 5.4.0

 

[soniczx123]

It only depends what you want more

[uqbn]

Sorry, it's always new. Glad you can recycle yours.
