Hacking Contenthax - a Vulnerability in Wii U File System Verification

[iAqua]

And the second question, once we get HBL installed, will we have to run anything to get it to run beforehand? Okay

You won't, it'll work as if you already ran the kernel.

Be sure to not mess with crucial files, otherwise, you might NexoBrick

What did Nexocube did wrong at system xml file?

What about meta.xml ? Can I change the game's name ? Icon ?

Yeah, no risk with that

I guess he edited this part

<default_title_id type="hexBinary" length="8">0005001010040200</default_title_id>

 

[Deleted member 375186]

Yeah, no risk with that

Is there pre-made icons somewhere ?

Wait you edited it?! Share your system.xml please.

just pushed up some more changes to haxchi.
-fixed screen corruption when loading homebrew launcher by properly clearing the screen
-modified IOSU exploit to load from high MEM1 to not run into existing memory and crash
-updated homebrew launcher loader to follow dimoks latest commit and be ready for 1.4 .rpx loading

Also I already have a plan for selecting what to launch by holding buttons on boot and a custom config file, but this for now gives it all some more stability and faster loading times which is good.

I'm still getting a couple pixel rows of garble across the bottom half of the screen
It doesn't seem to be at all different. I also confirmed that the new file is in the content directory after shutdown

you uploaded it onto the wrong drive or with a wrong name or into the wrong folder then, I personally verified what the problem was, fixed it and tested it with all 4 available games on both tv and gamepad to verify that it works correctly and it did every time from both sysnand and realnand.

It is only the method of smea applied

Some reason loads 2 times rednand, we're trying to fix it

Still, please. If you could just copy it into a "

I think he did the normal,
If you can edit a XML file to load directly a channel/game and you have a channel that loads redNAND directly, I think he put the title ID of Brain Training or one DS game to boot it
But NexoCube bricked trying do this, he put the DS title ID and now the console when starts it freeze in a black screen, I think the problem its that in DS game meta.xml in <direct_boot> value its 0 and maybe if you put a 1... Maybe @Masterwin can solve this dude

I hate to ask, but I'm noob at compiling stuff for Wii U.
I used the "make" command on my haxchi folder, and it compiled everything into a code550.bin
What do I do with this afterwards?

 

[Afraidium]

Guess he bricked his wiiU ?? Not responding back.... eeeekkkkkkkkkk

Tempers are nexobricking up in heerrrrr

Just to be sure we're talking about the same screen corruption, I'm talking about the row that occurs in this video:
