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

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

It sounds like that one is worth waiting for. Have you had a chance to test their version?

 

[EstPC13]

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

?
NUS titles, can the tiks just be blank if you install them with the SysConf Tool? Since Space Game does have a .tik, can it be a generic one then?

 

[Patodox]

Yes, however the one public right now does too

Yeah, I read that, I know there is no risk in the method use in 8GB WiiU, but I will wait for a end-users solution. Hardware are so much expensive in my country (not much as brazil, but still)

 

[NWPlayer123]

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

cause this was when TiniVi and I agreed to not release the original stuff and work with them for a full release several months ago before they stopped posting publicly and I was still in the Skype group, and now y'all have caught up to our original work so gg wait for them to do their thing

I've asked this before, but still:

@NWPlayer123, @punderino , have you guys worked around the asinine Wii U HDD FST? Or it's still required?

I don't know about SALT, and WiiUBru has no plans from what I understand with doing anything to it. So it's required for now

I haven't touched USB decryption even tho I have my keys, I'd get started on it but that requires RE

I'd assume so. I haven't looked into tickets yet. If you find out, report back?

I think the tickets can be blank yea, if not there is a python script on the wiiubru forums you can use to generate one.

Doing it rn

I've had that sitting in my WiiU folder for months now

Is there any way to check the integrity of a nand dump?

 

[cheuble]

So, if we have a 8GB NAND, is it possible to use smaller SD Cards, like 32GB? Or should I wait until SALT's dumper?

At the moment, the dumper we're using doesn't really work with 8GB consoles due to some offsets being hardcoded.
Someone's currently working on a dumper (which might be done soon?) that might work on 8GB consoles, and should also be more stable than the current one we have.

FWIW, I was messing with this last night and I got 5 good dumps from 5 tries. I appreciate some people have tried unsuccessfully 10+ times but I can only vouch from my own experience that it seemed pretty reliable to me. I'm betting since the main variable is the SD card itself, that there is some connection between getting a good dump and the quality of SD card.

randomness will always result in at least one consistent set of data

We're talking about a very big amount of data. If you grasp the basics of statistics, there's nothing random about getting 5 good dumps out of 5 tries. As the user said, this is probably related to the SD card and possible write errors.

Two tries, failed.

A try takes about an hour, I don't want to waste my time to get redNAND to work.

I'll wait for SALT.

Hey Guys,

someone explained me how to get a EmuNAND/redNAND to work on WiiU but it doesn't work really well.
I used a fw.img to dump the NAND of my WiiU like on the Screenshot

Spoiler: screenshot

After around an hour I got this error message: "GURU MEDITATION ERROR (data abort) 11C3B558"

Spoiler: screenshot

I've a black WiiU (5.5.1, EUR, 32GB).

I used a SanDisk Ultra 64GB SD Card (Class 10)

Formatted like my mate told me: "create a 22GB FAT32 primary partition (cluster size should be 64kb) at the front of your SD card. The rest of the space should be unallocated."


Is there a way to get a RedNAND/EmuNAND to work on my SD Card?
