Hacking Wii U System restore disc/image/hack

[Arras]

Actually, that is the case with the 3DS transfer tool. If your Internet connection goes out even for a second it will brick at least one if not both systems. Doesn't matter if you have both the DSi and 3DS plugged into a UPS or anything like that, even having your DHCP lease expire is enough to cause a brick.

Would you mind posting a source? I did some quick Googling and couldn't find anything apart from some bugs with the DSi transfer back from 2011 and a whole bunch of "omg TOS says brick will happen".

Several people here on gbatemp have had that problem though it is possible they fixed the DSi transfer tool by now.

It's me again,

I was thinking, maybe for a start, we could try to figure out how Nintendo fixes a bricked Wii U. I mean, which method do they use? a restore disc, flash, USB, SD? I know there was a Wii repair disc loose on the internet, I grabbed one some time ago. Another thing that comes to mind... Why doesn't/wouldn't Nintendo or any other console manufacturer provide a restore disc? Would that jeopardize the vulnerability for their systems being hacked?

I hope we can acquire some revelant feedback to these questions.

They just send you a new one. I guess they do repair the old one at some point. In that case, they probably just reprogram it the same way they programmed it in the first place. That's a secret.
