Hacking What we know about RedNAND so far

[happydance]

Is rednand viable as a nand backup is the wiiu is bricked? Aka write via hardmod? And a nand dump via hardmod can also be used as a rednand?

Should throw in my two cents
- Haven't played with DLC really, I'll take that stuff in OP as fact
- OTP isn't technically rewriteable, SEEPROM is
- I haven't looked into formatting but it'll regenerate part of the SEEPROM
- USB and SEEPROM keys in OTP are generic, same for everyone
- SEEPROM is what changes for everything, not sure if just USB seed
- new USB key is generated at format so sysNAND can no longer decrypt the drive but redNAND should be able to, I haven't tried yet
- OTP SEEPROM encryption/decryption is AES-128-ECB, meaning no IV
- openssl enc -d -aes-128-ecb -nopad -nosalt -K <SEEPROM key at 0xA0> -in seeprom.bin -out seeprom.d.bin
- openssl enc -e -aes-128-ecb -nopad -nosalt -K <USB key at 0x130> -in usbseed.bin -out usbseed.enc.bin
- Once you encrypt the seed as above, you can use it on your USB drive with AES-128-CBC and IV 0
- it's a proprietary format, WFS (Wii File System?) that I haven't bothered to figure out, it's possible to mount manually and read if anyone wants to try

• If for whatever reason you want to format sysNAND to unlink NANDS, do this BEFORE you install games to your USB in RedNAND. formatting SysNAND will unlink any external drives and you'll have to reformat the USB in RedNAND, which means you'd have to reinstall all your games!

Did i get it right, that after redNAND Setup and formating my sysNAND i loose all games on my external USB?

You dont necessarily lose your games, but RedNAND won't recognize the USB and will ask to format it. As of now, there's no reason to format sysnand so there's no point doing it.
