Nice to know but the problem is that as soon as I connect my Wii U to the internet it will update the firmware automatically, it always does. The 3DS always asks you before even downloading the update so you're always safe on 3DS. Even Xbox One and PS4 ask you, Wii U is the only one that downloads and applies the update even when you have Automatic Downloads turned off. It only needs to get online.

EDIT: Is there any DNS that currently blocks updates on Wii U and 3DS?
Yes. DNS only for Wii U.

  • Set the DNS server IPs to the following servers
  • 168.235.092.108
  • 081.004.127.020

But the console still knows that there is a new update, right? DNS only make the update fail. Eshop, Miiverse and games will still tell me to update the system like on 3DS at the moment. I wonder if there is an easy way to use online services without having the console asking for the latest update.
 
So hypothetical question: Since it appears they patched out browserhax, that means they're likely trying to target homebrew on the Wii U.

Are we thinking there might be a Wii U ban wave similar to the recent 3DS version?
 
So if I have haxchi autoboot and someone updated me to 5.5.2. What do I do?

I found someone had created a connection with an auto dns server and this is how it was updated.

But even though it says 5.5.2 when I launch a game like minecraft it says it wants to do another update.

Is this just for the game?

Yes and yes, you are fine and the game is trying to update itself.

I already asked the first question.

Thanks. Starting to wonder if I should buy up all of the wiiu's on sale on Craigslist for 200 and mod them and hold onto them lol

If you're using Haxchi to launch HBL, this is normal.
Haxchi is used to install HBL into your console's RAM. To launch it afterwards, you simply launch Mii Maker instead.
 
i got 5.5.1 a time ago with no problems,all my games running online and i got dns blocking the updates,so i dont see any point to update to 5.5.2
