5.5.1 didn't change OSv10 at all, so no exploit beyond PPC userspace could have been patched.

So there is some hope for people who accidentally update to 5.5.1 right?

 

[Gabriel_Yanni]

Yeah, Thanks for the info

well, userland was patched, soooo it will take some time to cook up a new entry point (this is but an uneducated guess)

Yes, only a userspace exploit is needed to enjoy all the rest once it comes out.

I was the main developer, with Hykem and Matt helping. As it stands, the 5.5.0 kernel exploit doesn't really have bugs to iron out, and is quite reliable. That's part of why it's so important not to get it patched.

But the update came and it wasn't patched right?

 

[JohnathanMonkey]

do you know how many people have updated already?

I understand that but Mario just said that nothing was patched. I really do appreciate the hard work and effort on this for absolutely no return other than a thank you here and there. I just don't understand why it can't be released. Especially if it's now reliable!

Isn't the wii u at end of life pretty much how many more fw updates u think they will do.I don't think they will be spending much more money manufacturing all new systems and games with new fw's.

Holding it will make it accessible to those on future firmware. The kexploit that is.

@Marionumber1 now that a reliable userland entrypoint for 5.5 is out, i'd like to ask something : at the current state of IOSU exploit as you know it, how is the success rate of the exploit ?

Interesting. How though?

I haven't heard from Hykem in a very long time, so I know nothing about the current state of IOSU. I also haven't tested yellows8's new exploit (not that I could, being on 5.3.2 myself), or heard from others about it.

simple

 

[vasalpa]

Yes simple, but until which firmware will we wait? For example let's say the next firmware comes at March, and it doesn't patch anything we will still wait for the next and the next and so on, right? I don't see the point here... Maybe I miss something...

Right. So if future firmware does patch it, release the old and work on the new. Makes sense.

Very true! It doesn't seem like it would matter if it was released or not because eventually, it's going to be patched but when? Could be several months.

 

[ShinkoNet]

I did not do 11...
Well now I did and the 12th as well, and SURPRISE it froze both times...

I believe wudinstaller might allow you to spoof your firmware to 5.5 (and maybe 5.5.1) but idk because I have 5.5.0
Anyway if you are on 5.4 stay there there is no reason to update and you now have a kernel exploit available to you!

how can I firmware spoof when I don't have a userland exploit on 5.4?

The kernel exploit is obsolete because of the upcoming IOSU exploit right?

 

[shaneod]

I don't have a userland exploit on 5.4

Yes you do. yellows8 posted his, and wupinstaller.com was also updated.
The userland exploit for 5.4.0/5.5.0 is public now.

 

[endoverend]

Is there a public way to load the OSDriver exploit from this?

 

[ShinkoNet]

Yes you do. yellows8 posted his, and wupinstaller.com was also updated.
The userland exploit for 5.4.0/5.5.0 is public now.

Really? That's great! Thanks! I'll look at it right now.

 

[tivu100]

So 5.4 is now official the new 5.3.2?
