Hacking Hykem's 5.5 iosu Exploit

[henn64]

fun fact every "hype" (prematurely made) thread end up talking about kfc....true fact

Hype? I don't see any hype here.
In fact, I'm feeling rather lethargic today.

Shit just got real

I just checked my WIIU and its on v3.0.1.0. What version should I upgrade to and which physical media do I need to buy to upgrade firmware to that version or is there another method without having to buy the physical media?

IOSU covers anything from 2.0.0 -> 5.5.0
You're safe buddy

Ah cool beans. I don't want to be caught with my pants down ike the cubic ninja where everyone was scrambling to find that cart when the exploit was announced. Thanks for info.

We'll have to wait till 33c3 before he tells us how he did it.

Thanks for the link. I'm not too interested in the loadline stuff and if the IOSU exploits work from 2.2.0-5.5.0 and if I don't have to upgrade then I'll stay put.

Agreed, just need some kickass USB Loader loving lol

Dammit....more Race Attack crap?

Ah man......

No, it will not involve a PPC kernel exploit, as Hykem can trigger this right from the PPC userspace.

With that twitter post from last page about "hello from isou kernel" and in comparison to your old "hello from PPC kernel" what makes isou red and ppc kernel black?

Nothing. I'm guessing it was a stylistic choice.

If I had to guess, I would say it's the color they used while printing it.

I see that WIIU finally will be 100% hacked now, as the others solutions has been made temporary and need to be execute everytime, so, apparent from now on the hack will patch IOSU and will enable a new era for usbloaders/homebrews... We will expect it in a week or less from now on... hope so.. hehe

 

[pulstar80]

I just hoping updating "backups" wouldn't be a nightmare when the accompanying loader updates come after exploit release

There's no intrinsic value of the iosu being red? Like a bowser level kind of theme.

Nope.

The bug is clear based on SDcard load, like letterbomb, is quite simple, it is not patched and will run on request. This mean it is outside webkit!
