Hacking NUSGrabber connect() failed

[KevAqn]

I had it working yesterday and today it's doing nothing, was first using the GUI, switched to the console version and I still can't seem to get it to connect to download anything. Anyone ever had this issue or is there something more documented on how to use it?

(There seems to be nothing explaining how to use it, ended up having to piece stuff together based on peoples replies to other threads.)

That's a timeout/socket error. Either your end, the proxy if nusgrabber uses one, or nus itself. If it worked before, try again later I suppose. Also, you have an extra 0.

This started happening to me today too. Was working fine all last week. I'm only using the command line NUSGrabber.exe, not the GUI. Is it working for anyone?

It has to be a proxy problem with NusGrabber. NUS is working fine, and so is my internet, but not nusgrabber. Nothing you can do but wait or use uwizard for the main part and download the h3 files manually.

Good to hear I'm not alone and that I wasn't doing something stupid. Still horrible timing since I just got my WiiU yesterday and got everything set up and running last night.

Do you have an example URL handy to download an h3 file? Also are h3 files needed for decrypting?

@crediar Do you have any idea what's going on here?

Not for decryption to use with loadiine you do not need the h3 files. So that goes for cdecrypt as well. uwizard will do all of that by itself if you check the box.

To use them with wup installer, you need a title.cert from another update, or to make one if you don't have a copy. Link below for info (maybe not for those who arent familiar with hex). You'll also need to rename files, as the post describes. the others just need .app added to the end. if you rename the other files first, typing: ren *. *.app should do it for you, if you open a cmd prompt there

I didn't save any of the cmd output from NUSGrabber, but the subdomain of the URL's were slightly different. I recall there being "ccs" in both the subdomain and in the path.

they arent. click it, youll get an h3 file...

Yes. I can dl that h3 file, but I'm pretty sure this is not the same subdomain NUSGrabber is using.
Also, what is the use for the h3 files, is it for WUP installer only?

Yes. Nusgrabber is the longest way to get an update if you're using loadiine. Just use uwizard if its for loadiine...

Nusgrabber uses ccs.cdn.wup.shop.nintendo.net i think

NUSgrabber makes an initial connection directly to 95.101.82.34 one of akamai's servers which is not responding.
You can hand patch this to 61.9.193.135 (the 1st one I found which is the same length).

Thnx for the tip ajd4096!

NUSgrabber should('ve) be(en) updated with an external config or accept custom ip's/hosts as command line parameter/argument.

edit: What are the .h3 files for, though?

Could you share more details on how you are patching this? Are you intercepting and altering the network calls, or are you using a hex editor on the exe, or what?

A source code release would be nice too, so it'd be easier to debug when things go wrong.. :/

@daxtsu Or that =^]

Just use a hex editor, search for the old IP address and replace (overwrite, don't insert) it with the new one.
It has the same length, so it should work without problems.

Thanks. Working now

Don't thank me, thank @ajd4096

I tried to apply this Fix, but doesn't work for me. I don't know what i'm doing wrong. I'm a n00b with all that
I'd hex edit nusgrabber, found the 95.101.82.34's ip and replace with this one:61.9.193.135 close and save
But when i launch my cmd file the windows open but nothing happens (with the old ip i obtain the connect failled error)
If anyone can explain me, thanks

Ok perhaps just for clarification, that other people don´t have to invest so much time like i did, here a quick tutorial for this:
1. Download a hex editor
2. Copy the IP 95.101.82.34 to clipboard (Ctrl + C)
3. Open the "NUSgrabber.exe" with your hex editor
4. Search (Ctrl + F) for the IP 95.101.82.34, but there is a special search function called "search for text"
5. Now that you have found the IP, you have to copy the other IP 61.9.193.135 to clipboard (Ctrl + C).
6. You have to paste in the new IP with the function "paste in as text"
7. Save, close hex editor and start "NUSgrabber.exe" through command line
8. Be happy

P.S. Sorry for my bad english, this is my first post ^^

EDIT:
Ok this is like step 7.5 and i just used waaay too much time for this:
7.5. Now choose something you want to update with NUSgrabber (In my case it was
00050000-10176A00 Splatoon UPD v80 EUR) from wiiubrew database (http://wiiubrew.org/wiki/Title_database) (hope i am allowed to post this here?).
Now in command line don´t just copy and paste togther "NUSGrabber.exe 00050000-10176A00",
but you have to delete the minus. "NUSGrabber.exe 0005000010176A00".
