Hacking Now, why can't we install system updates using WUP Installer?

[AboodXD]

This is really confusing?

Did somebody think about this?

Edit: If this has already been answered somewhere, don't go "faceplam"ing yourself just because I missed the answer.

because they are on different servers

How does this matter?

Because they whitelisted only gameupdates und blocked other stuff in that tool.
I guess because many people would brick their Wii with stupid installations.

I also wanted to know the same thing, but didn't want to look stupid by asking. Thanks :-)

Why is it different to the 3DS? (Since you can use sysupdater and NASA above 9.2 to install legit games, game updates, and system update files)

I haven't personally tried it... but you might be able to using the WUPInstaller version I released that has checks disabled.

You would very likely receive a brick if you install system update package using nasa/fbi/devmenu.

no only if native firms needs to be updated and the hax you are in is blocking that

nasa/fbi/devmenu update native firm title but do not update firm0/firm1 partitions. So if don't use sysupdater (which calls additional api to update those partitions) and your native firm has conflicts with new titles, you'll end up having a brick.
This area is unexplored on wii u. We don't have guarantee that simple system title installing will end up good.

By the sound of it know one has explored it to begin with.

If only I had a second wii u, I would go to town on it.

The Wii U is much more picky with updates and partial updates are more likely to brick. That's probably not the only reason though. Since there's no easy way to download full update packages and there's nothing stopping people from installing single titles for some reason or other, they blocked most system titles from installing so that they wouldn't be blamed for any bricks. If you already have kernel access there's no reason to update, you can just spoof and use nnu-patcher. Even if that changes there's no way to update to the newest firmware to get access to eShop and online etc. while keeping kernel access. It would just brick. So there's no reason anyone would need to update other system titles right now, but if that changes they will probably release a version with a modified whitelist that allows those things.

The legit games/game updates were what I meant for NASA, and system updates with sysupdater.
