Hacking A few words on IOSU, redNAND, and iosuhax.

[DeslotlCL]

I haven't heard of a sysNAND brick yet. Unless you are literally messing with sysNAND from iosuhax. You should be good to be honest. If you do brick, used Wii U's aren't that much.

Just wondering, what happens to your nnid once you setup a rednand? will it work as normal? or will we need to format sysnand in order to use the same nnid on rednand?

My console crashes on welcome to redNAND, does this mean the dump was bad?

Will all this amazing things work with 8gb consoles in any moment of the future?

Why would they only work for 32 GB consoles? They work fine on any Wii U console.

I don't know.

Under Punderino's pastebin requirements says: "5.5.1 Wii U 32gb Console + So a black one"

If that's the case,

Is this true @punderino? Are those that have 8 GB Wii U's screwed? Because now it sounds like it, that won't do me much good as I wanted to save money when I got the Wii U. If so, that requirement will prevent a lot of users from doing it, not really fair, no?

Punderino says IIRC the memory offset are hardcoded, so the 8GB WiiU creates a bad dump

So then 8 GB users are boned then. Wonderful. Well, since I don't have the money for a 32 GB Wii U, as many of us don't, we most likely won't be able to use it now or in the future.

At the moment, yes. Hopefully in the future someone will write a parametric version, or a hardcoded version with model select or something like that

I don't have the highest of hopes for that, to be blunt.


Edit: My deepest apologies, I wasn't sure what the status of the NAND dumper was, and naturally, I was worried, I didn't mean to react this way, it's all good.

Salt bro, just wait for them.

It's not our fault either. It's how NAND dumping was written in iosuhax. Dimoks new NAND dumper that's not out yet will probably support the 8gb variant.

See, that's the problem, a lot of uncertainties, 8 GB users are screwed. And someone may fix it, someone might fix it, that's the problem, it's 50/50, but the real question is, will someone bother to fix it? I don't have 100% faith
in @dimok's NAND dumper to support it either, I'm just gonna be honest. It's not looking good

So, the guy in the pastebin just force turn off their 8GB wiiU after the size he expected? Crap, I don't dare to do that sh*t XD

Yeah, that's very risky to do, and could lead to a brick, so I don't know XD


Edit: I have received confirmation that they are working on a NAND dumper for both Wii U models,l I was confused, I admit, no harm no foul

It's not a brick risk. It's only reading the NAND, not writing it.

Please ban the_randomizer... his post are pointless and ranting again how it's all about what he wants.

Just be grateful that someone is aleast working on this exploit... be grateful

16,000 posts vs 2. hmmmm lol. People are allowed to have opinions.

A report will do, there's no need to post stuff like that publicly. And calm down, he's just anxious and needs reassuring

 

[mikeyngo]

I understand. I apologize for clustering this. I was just trying to stick up for the dev but I guess it's not needed here.

But thanks to all the dev.

8gb consoles can use all of this stuff, got mine setup without a hitch. You just need to make sure the nand dump gets past sector 1090000 and then power of the console. Like @punderino has said there is no risk of brick from dumping your nand as it is only reading and not actually writing.

Thank you for clarifying this works!
