Hacking The Definitive Guide to Wii U Hacking

127.0.0.1 is the localhost, am I correct?

You got it. Both of those point the device (whatever it is) back to itself.

The IP should be whatever your Android has. If Tiny Web Server has a way to specify what IP to host on, then that's the IP you need to use on your Wii U.

Great. Well, have you tried pressing and holding the Wi-Fi icon in your status bar when you swipe it down to turn it on? That usually takes you to the settings page for Wi-Fi. Another way is to get a laptop (or something with Wi-Fi) and connect to your hotspot, then view its details and pick out the IP for your Android from there.

Try setting up TubeHAX on your server or on the Wii U, then give your Android internet temporarily.

"storage/emulated/0" is the root, yes.

Yes i got it. A pain i cant direct file location in kws, all files stored on root. And on the phone i use all the time. Gotta be careful not to enable data, wiiu will still update in standby wont it?

Thank you for the help.

As far as I've heard, no. Don't quote me on that... However, I DO know that SDHC isn't compatible with vWii, although my 4 GB SD works on it, and SD cards are only supposed to go up to 2 GB...

If you clone a 2GB card and write the clone to the 4GB card it will trick the Wii into using it. Then you can reformat the drive and use the extra 2GBs that you zeroed out

It's not that SDHC's don't work, mine works perfectly...but you can't run miihacks the first time using fat32 format. SDHC's don't come with Traditional FAT formatting so in order to format them you have to use a program or the command line. Also that would probably create a partition on the SDHC because FAT can't utilize more than 4gb.

Is there any disadvantage to updating from 5.5.0 to 5.5.1?

Is there any disadvantage to updating from 5.5.0 to 5.5.1?

Possibly; all FW updates with "stability updates" are to patch some kind of code. 5.5.1 may have fewer exploitable bugs. Just stay on your current FW until Hykem releases the IOSU exploit in the next few weeks.

I put this questin in diferrent post because im not sure in which should it be.
Hi, im new with the WII U Brew. I have a console in FW 4.1.0
Im folowing the instructions in the guide; so, i want to download the DefinitivePackage. But i'm Under an older Firmware.
It will work if i delete the Loadiine + Server (dimok's commit 9e2af86) and include this Loadiine for 4.1.0?.

Otherwise: How do i mix that definitive Package with anything to use the Loadiine v3 for 4.1.0.

Aclaration: I want to host all the files myself in an android phone. Connect the wii U to internet is not and option for me

Yes, you can just replace the Loadiine folder with the 4.1.0 Loadiine. You can then edit index.html with Notepad or Notepad++ and then point it to the correct folder/file name.

nope, using a 64GB SDXC on my vWii now
that SD-non-HC/XC 2GB restriction only for when you attempt to install homebrew launcher with wii games exploit
