Oh, ok. I see how it is. Warning: Big Image
Can't connect to download the update, not sure if that's a good thing or a bad

I really need to buy a cheap Wii U without the gamepad so I don't have to deal with this. I have 4.something firmware and don't want to update my current one and loose the exploit.
Plus i wanna play smash online...
Why would you not want a gamepad? What difference does it make

I don't need two gamepads and massively increases the price
Well, I'd have asked for more but this is OK as I can create folders to organise it.vWii System Menu was updated. However, it seems okay to update. Use Caution.
NOTE: YOUR STANDBY AND QUICK START SETTINGS ARE RESET. IF YOU DON'T WANT IT TO UPDATE IT ON YOU IN THE FUTURE TURN IT OFF.
Version 5.2.0 U, available via an Internet connection, includes the following improvements:
Changes to the Wii U Menu:
Changes to Quick Start Menu:
- Folders can now be created in the Wii U Menu to hold and organize software icons
- A Download Management icon has been added to the Wii U Menu
Changes to the HOME Menu:
- The Quick Start Menu will now display when the Wii U is powered on from the Wii U GamePad TV Remote
- Options have been added to Power Settings that allow users to hide certain software from the Quick Start Menu
Changes to the Nintendo eShop:
- The design and layout of the HOME Menu has been updated
Improvements to system stability and usability:
- Disabled usage of characters not used when redeeming Nintendo eShop cards (O, I, Z, etc.)
- Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience
So, am I safe to update?
If you don't care about potentially missing out on Wii U homebrew (unlikely with how the kernel exploit works).
TL;DR: Yes, the browser wasn't updated (meaning any bugs are still there), the ROP chain might've broke again but that's not that difficult to get back, and the kernel exploit shouldn't break anytime soon. You have my word.

Actually, no word from us if it's safe to update or not yet. There was a minor leak of vague details a while ago, but our kernel bug probably isn't patched because of the nature of that. Still, if you only care about your Wii U for homebrew (which is a bit silly with all these new games coming out), feel free to not update.
Once somebody gets another userland exploit working we can give an actual word on this.
Sorry, I was talking about a bug in the kernel, not boring userland stuff. I edited my post to clarify. Code execution in userland is boring and isn't directly helpful for homebrew apps as-is.It's no different a situation than 5.1.1/5.1.2 since the browser wasn't updated, meaning any bugs are still around. The only thing that might delay things is remaking the ROP chain if it broke, but considering we've done it once before, and the fact that once we can start building it there's nothing stopping us from getting code execution (other then finding the correct gadgets), I don't think it's that difficult. So, if you're on 5.1.1/5.1.2, feel free to update, and if you're not then you still have the choice of waiting or updating.
oh noz now i can't check the e-shop again for absolutely nothing worth getting!
