You can get it hardmodded if you have a nand backup but it is warned not to do it for a reason.

I have access to my GamePad, but i can't do anything, tell your friend he is fucked

I dont want people to get too excited, but we may be able to use the gamepad's "fast boot menu" to bypass the system.xml file that bricks and go straight to haxchi/HBL

What happens exactly when you turn on the wii u? Specifically, does it show the WiiU/Nintendo screen before the error code shows?

Don't you have to activate standby mode for this quick start menu?

yeah lol if Nexo Didn't have that its no use for him

I disabled it because I didn't want to risk an update in standby.

Well everything comes with pros and cons and the con of not enabling it is preventing any form of recovery :/

Any form of recovery?
No there are options for those who are patient.

 

[NexoCube]

What happens on the gamepad?

The same screen appear ...
And no Quick Start menu

 

[KevinX8]

I think this guy is thinking what I'm thinking, since quick start temporarly sets your default title to whatever you choose on the quick start menu it should in theory allow you to bypass this horrible brick, but ofc if you did not enable it its hopeless =(

He had no NAND backup so hardmod ain't an option so yeah no recovery options

Not true, a backup won't be needed given enough time. boot1 or boot2 will become custom, and recovery options will be available.

I have enbaled Quick Start Menu, but it won't show on the GamePad
