Homebrew Wii U New Update 5.5.2

[TheWolfLord]

Turned off? As in unplugged? No it won't download the update if its unplugged. If you just have it turned off (red light) then yes it will still update. You should have DNS blocking at least setup

One other clarification. If you are below 5.5.1, can you still install CBCH and haxchi? IE, is there a way to update to only 5.5.1 if you need 5.5.1 to do so.

You must be on 5.5.1 to install HaxChi. Check my guide. It has a list of games that include the 5.5.1 update.

anyone know what the DNS to block updates is? It's currently set to 107.211.140.065 for primary and secondary, but I want to make sure I'm using the right one.

>>>
"Use NNU patcher to access the eshop. Download the DS game that you need. It will fail because the system update will want to be downloaded first. Just unplug your Wii U. Plug it back in after about 2 minutes and then the DS game that you paid for will start to download the system update will be gone."
>>>

This is not working for me - System Update still sitting at the top of the download queue (with red 'X' plus 'Error' on it) despite leaving the WiiU off for several minutes (& several attempts).

This is on EU 5.5.1 after successfully buying Dr. Kawashima via NNU Patcher (due to DNS bypass). Dr. Kawashima is successfully added to the download queue, and can be set to download first BUT it continually stays below the dreaded 'System Update' with just 'Pending' and 'Estimating...'. Have also tried deleting Dr. Kawashima and re-downloading - same result. "System Update" (with X Error) is *always* there!

Anything else to do/check before I try the riskier 'System Update folder deletion' via ftpiiu_forever listed in another thread?

Thanks in advance.

The one who have the update currently in download can try to run this (untested) app from HBL:
remove_update

How can I use this? Do I need homebrew? Cause the browser exploit got patched and I can't use the HBL

I guess you can't, sorry.
As I written it's only for the people who have the update currently in download, not installed.

The bright side of this update: Wii U Homebrew/Hacking Forums haven't been this active since Breath of the Wild release

 

[MegAmi24]

Welp I need a DS game now.

Unfortunately, it had to take a firmware update to draw in that much attention. Genuine interest in the scene will not change and those who haven't cared or shown interest in developing it further will not change, I'm afraid. It shouldn't have to take
a firmware update IMO.

Just to testify: I willingly updated my Wii U to 5.5.2. Haxchi and CBHC still work just fine.

 

[ShadowStar2442]

My Wii U has been off for hours. 5.5.2 didn't even download. My luck I guess. I better get the DNS ASAP.

 

[Aloc]

So my system was fine. I went to the Loadiine website and seen the info informing me that I should change my DNS in order to avoid updating. So I changed it to the specified numbers and then my Wii U updated to 5.5.2 anyway. SO PISSED right now.

Hi rw-r-r_0644,

I guess you can't, sorry.

Is there a brick-risk in simply running 'remove_update' from HBL? Or is the 'might not work' part simply mean it won't change anything if unsuccessful in removing the update?

Thanks for any info.

Wait, what? Is it even possible for the update to download with the DNS blocking it? Did your download start before you set the DNS?

 

[Kleyon]

All feedback I have this far are telling that loadiine.ovh's DNL correctly block update... Even some people tried to manually launch update after setting DNS, resulting in an error code. So that weird ! oO

 

[Gamer4647]

Shit, I didn't set up the DNS. The good thing is that I haven't been using my spare console recently, so it hasn't done anything yet.

It shouldn't brick, the may not work refers as it could fail deleting the update (but ofc I don't take any responsability)

So all I use is homebrew and its apps. Is haxchi the only thing I need to install to use homebrew?

I don't want to install CFW unless I can't use homebrew without it.
