Homebrew Official WUP Installer - Title installer + Firmware spoofing [3.x - 5.4.0]

[Wurztha]

Thanks again for your input. I'll leave my games hidden in the cupboard for now and stick with 3.1.0. I've held out a few months already so may as well hang on some more

Keep up the good work Hykem, NWPlayer123, Marionumber1, golden45 and all others working on stuff!

I've kept mine offline and wouldn't you know it, games don't ask for updates since they haven't been able to check for them! So I can at least play some of the titles.

Is there another site other than wiiutools.com/WUP/ hosting the WUP installer? I just keep getting artifacts trying to install mario maker v1.10 no matter what method I try while crediar's website version of the installer worked almost flawlessly. I have tried for over an hour

Most worthwhile games contain updates past 3.1.0 on-disk

 

[NWPlayer123]

From what I'm reading, isn't that still some time away because of the need for IOSU?

That's the point

I'm on 5.3.2

Right, but the guy you quoted wasn't

Ahh

Is eshop required for a system transfer? Maybe 5.5 (legit) to 5.3.2 (spoofed) system transfer might work?

Someone tried yesterday and it failed.

Hi, I was wondering, do I have to run kexploit/osdriver before doing the update remover? Cause when ever I run the update remover my wii u freeze up, I'm at 5.3.2E

Oh and another problem is that when ever I run the kexploit I get a black screen (except for the first time i tried it that one time everything went well...) Tried clearing cache, resetting etc etc, any one got any ideas?

Whoa whoa whoa what the fuck happened? I come back to this site and I see an exploit that I was using just literally two days ago and worked perfectly fine for me was supposedly "leaked", with Marionumber1 defending the guy who did it, and apparently crediar was so salty that he changed the wupinstaller site to reflect that. Also...

Older or younger?

my precious EXPLOIT!

That's the point

Well, here's hoping that everyone that's stuck on (literally) the most useless firmware don't get tired of waiting. I haven't caved - yet - but I know people that have.

My fault, I didn't bother to search the thread specifically.It seems like the eshop does have involvement with checking for the latest version.

I wonder if updating/reinstalling the latest eshop with NUS grabber is something that would work, but I imagine this is risky. It's also possible that the system update relies on something more than just the latest version.bin and eshop, though. I wonder if anyone is willing to try.

That's how SonyUSA bricked her WiiU. And also, they tried installing the packages from 5.4 to get the SMM manual working but that also failed (without brick it seems).

Okay, so I did this, and I've the update file, but everytime I try to use the wup file that @ws44j uploaded, it freezes after exiting to home same error the last five tries. I also noticed this.

00050000-1010EF00 ZombiU v32 EUR
00050000-1011A700 ZombiU v32 EUR

Both EUR and JAP have v32 but only USA has v16. for EUR you have 2 seperate titiles. Which one did you install?

I installed this one : 0005000E1010EF00 (ZombiU EUR Title update v32 - internal game update: v1.2)

I have a few a questions about this:

1. Spoofing the firmware successfully means that we lose completely the change to update to normally to 5.5.0? Along with it, we lose eshop too until next update?
2. is there a way to get the update to 5.5.0 (the real one) using WUP installer? Are you working on it?

I appreciate your hard work I'll donate to crediar but I'm skeptical because maybe you don't have a way to test it completely... what wiil happen when 5.6 is out? Will you be able to spoof it? If not can we restore our Wii U to normal and forget about homebrew?

I believe our options should be in the topic start along with the risks.

1) Yes, spoofing means losing the change to update to the real 5.5.0.
losing eshop is not totally right, because you already didn't have access to eshop on 5.3.2 so you have the same access as before : none.
but you lose eshop in case you wanted to officially update to 5.5.0 to access it.

2) No. there's no way to update to 5.5 using WUP installer.
WUP installer require the install of ONE title at a time, and you need to reboot the console after each install, and oftem the console freezes etc.
You can't install 5.5.0 update partially, you will brick the console if you update only part of the "firmware content" and reboot.

3) what will happen when 5.6 is out ?
We don't know, but it "should" work like this :
3.1 - You still want to be on 5.3.2 and spoof 5.6.0 --> use the same method to install the 5.6.0 version.bin
3.2 - You don't want to be on a spoofed version and want to update to real 5.6.0 --> udpate online or with a game, and it "should" update all your outdated titles, even the one you skipped with the spoof. If it works like the Wii, it will update ALL titles, even the one normally installed with 5.4 and 5.5.

a possibility with 3.1 : Nintendo update the way the version.bin is checked, and new game updates are required for games to launch. if you install the new update, you won't be able to spoof, if you don't update you can't play.
That's a possibility. We don't know what nintendo will choose yet. We can only wait and see.

You can't install Titles (even the one which doesn't cost anything, like demo or free games), only updates/patches.

Titles that you've paid for/downloaded in the past should work though right? Assuming your console/nnid has the ticket for it?
