Are you telling me I can finally recover all my save data from my corrupted USB? I can finally recover my 120 hours of Hyrule Warriors Oh my god it's not even christmas! Thank you so much!
Well.. that was to transfer the save from the Wii U's internal storage. You can mount USB through this, too, but if it's corrupted then I'm not sure that there is any recovery possible..?
Just one question, since I'm still trying to understand the latest developments so far, why would it be necessary to have a 64GB+ SD Card for the higher capacity Wii U in the likely future?
You have to have at least a 64GB SD card to dump 32GB of NAND. If you only have an 8GB Wii U console then a 16GB SD card may work.

It's not completely corrupted, games does show up in the menu, but opening most games, or accessing the USB Data Management menu would throw a "USB Data is corrupted" message.

I'd say there's a chance that (at least some of) your save data is intact then. :)
 
How to dump dump Desk games. Instructions from that iso site:

To dump your legitimate disk tickets:

Installation files you need to compile yourself or search on that iso site

install Python 2.7.11

Copy cfwbooter folder into your SD:/wiiu/apps/ folder
Copy fw.img from iosuhax.rar into root of SD:/

Boot Wii U up, load Homebrew Launcher, load cfwbooter. It will eventually come back up to Wii U menu. When this happens, wupserver has been loaded

Now, edit wupclient.py in iosuhax/wupserver/ with your Wii U's IP address. If you don't know your Wii U's IP address, you probably haven't gotten this far. The place you edit it is this line:
Code:
Code:
def __init__(self, ip='192.168.1.115', port=1337):
Do not change the port

Startup wupclient by going into the wupserver directory, shift+right click -> open command window, and then type: python -i wupclient.py

You should be given a couple short lines that look something like this:
Code:
Code:
E:\iosuhax\wupserver>python -i wupclient.py
0x43B38
0x0
0x0
>>>
You are now connected to your wupserver (yay!). Insert a game disc and type the following commands, separately, into this command prompt:

Code:
Code:
mount_odd_tickets()
w.dldir("/vol/storage_odd_tickets")
This will dump the tickets (and certs and tmds) of the disc that's inserted, and put them into your iosuhax/vol/ folder (wherever you extracted iosuhax.rar to)

To do another disc, type:
Code:
Code:
unmount_odd_tickets()
then start over from the previous code box

you guys seriously should stop ASKING FOR COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL right now, I do not want to close that thread or give out warnings, understood? if you are unable to compile this yourself you should just not bother with this thread, thanks.
Yes sir! Actually i can compile but why bother to install tons of progs when someone already did the job. Also i'm not told the full name of that site or linked so i'm not break the rules OR DOES IT?
 
Well if anyone was curious a pre-compiled version now exists on a a certain iso site. I took a leap of faith and luckily got one that was actually legit. Just dumped Star Fox Zero USA tik and will test installing with that tik tonight.

I came to argue with you. *arguing intensifies*

But I'm not sure what to argue about. GET EM BOI!

Sorry Fix94, could not resist! Have some coffee with me? :3

*inserts warning 2*
