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

[shilien]

Sooooo... If I follow all Punderino's guide steps but powering off my Wii U after dumping sector 1090000 then should be possible to have a working rednand? Maybe I'll try it.

Thank You!

Thank you for clarifying this works!

No problem man. Just glad to help out

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.

I wanted to apologize for my crazy posts earlier, there was, admittedly, some things I wasn't 100% clear about, and I took it upon myself to find out by hopping on IRC and getting a straight answer from the developers. They are confirmed to be working on a more stable NAND dumping program that will support 8 and 32 GB models. As of now, there's no ETA, but the fact they're working around the hard-coding issues gives me and a lot of users comfort, so once more, I do apologize,. This week has been crazy and awesome with all the Wii U news, keep it up, guys I'll be testing this out as soon as I can get a working fw.img.

So we get to that offset, wait till it gets past it, then turn off the console, nice

If you go looking for a few minutes for that one wiiu site you should be able to find punderinos pre-compiled ones quite easily

Let me know once the more stable NAND dumper is available.

Question: Can you just install anything with a blank title with that IMG?

 

[Ghassen-ga]

Are the Nand dumps console unique , would they work on a different console ?

With the sig patches? I haven't tried. What do you mean by title?

They are console-unique.

Well as it patches sig checks you can install pretty much anything you want. Just be ready for RedNand bricks so have a backup image of your sd saved away somewhere before you install stuff.

I thin khe means the title.tik file or the ticket which validates the installation.

Any chance the nand dump will go lower (Size wise ) in the future ?

It 99.99% will. The current one is completely uncompresed which is the reason it needs so much space.

Fun fact: SALT's NAND dumper only has to be run once and is guaranteed to get a valid dump =P of course it's still not polished either which is why it's not public

What about the actual dump size, and would we be able to dump to USB?

Works on 8GB and 32GB WiiU?

IOSUHAX is only a temporary solution for the people who want cfw and fun stuff now

you stated yourself that you're not involved with their work , so how do you know

Yes, I got confirmation on IRC, they just need to work out the bugs

 

[punderino]

The dump size WILL be smaller, not sure about USB.

Works on 8GB and 32GB WiiU?

Yes, however the one public right now does too
