Hacking PSA: The upcoming kernel exploit works on ALL firmware versions!

[the_randomizer]

The question I want to know is, why would someone want to stay on a really old firmware, after all that's been said on how they're perfectly safe and that there are no logical benefits to doing so?

 

[Cyan]

Maybe because currently it's only "We will port the exploit to 5.3.2" instead of "We have 5.3.2 working".
Updating to 5.3.2 can be done with a game so it's not an issue to stay on old one for the moment. we can always update later.

It's also because the known IOSU exploit only works on <3.x consoles

would blocking these url's just block the wii U end or botht he 3ds end too? prolly a stupid question but better safe than sorry.

Yes those also block 3DS updates

I haver the same urls blocked in my router for Wii-U and 3DS, i need to turn it off to access eshop on both or to let the systems update

Oh btw, Kernel exploit != IOSU exploit, so no 'backup' loaders possible yet, right?

In that case, I'll hold out for a little longer.

Correct

Yeah, totally. But don't let it get you down. Once they complete kernel code entry getting at the ARM is as easy as 3ds and other multi processor devices.
Most multi processor devices send then receive and then repeat and unlock. During the second time there is a time delay that should be enough to send a different instruction.
Thanks to poorly written coding causing a bitbang process. At the rate these guys are moving I'd say entry to ARM no later than august.

Bump

Bump

Any particular reason to bump this? There's no questions left to answer right now, you don't seem to have one, either, and the actual release will pop up in an own thread, anyways...

So people don't keep asking the same question over and over again in other threads

We all want good news, but if you bump it people will think there is pertinent activity in the thread, disappointing hundreds of people

So it's safe to update the Wii U to the currently available firmware? I'd like to redeem this Mewtwo code and download some Club Nintendo rewards, but I don't want to miss out on Wii U homebrew.

Thanks in advance for any helpful answers.

 

[Dr.Hacknik]

Seems promising! Can't wait for the exploit.

Yes, please do it ASAP since now's your chance.

*Crosses fingers that an update hasn't come out before I get home*

Updating now. Thanks for the confirmation.

So, let me know if I understand correctly.
If everything works well we will have the ability to play Wii U game backups this month ?
Thanks.

no . that would require an IOSU exploit and back up loaders to be written. they will be releasing the browser exploit in june which can be used for HOMEBREW you are still at least 6 months from a back up loader if ever.

Well, i am only waiting to be able to play CTGPR-U and Project-4-M and the methods to do this are allready possible, not to many good and worth games for backuploading on wiiU anyways xD

yeah same here. i already own all the wii u games i want and will pick up the last few as they release. i just want native homebrew so we can have better emulators.
