Hacking Downgrade Updates on Wii U Games?

[DomesticWarlord]

Aaaaand it worked! Changed the Title ID version number as well as all the Update version numbers (I noticed that all three JPN USA and EUR versions were listed with v112 [1.3.1]) and reverted everything back to v97 (1.3.0) ! Of course I had already deleted the update data on my Wii U and installed the old update data that was still on my SD Card from when I had the card prepared by Wii U USB Helper awhile back. I was afraid my save file wouldn't load since I saved on v112 (1.3.1) without knowing about the update all this week, but I successfully loaded my save file on v97 (1.3.0) just now! Infinite item glitch, here I come!!

So i changed the Version in the slc/security/versions.bin file, but it's still not working. Where is the Title ID version number you're talking about?

Using FileZilla and ftpiiu everywhere - is it normal for all the files in the sysnand to have the date 1/1/1970?

messed up time stamps is normal for any system using ftp.

Does this still work? I try to open the file in /storage_slc/security/versions.bin with HxD and changed the two hex values mentioned in an earlier post, and now I just get "You need to connect to the internet to update the software". Anyone have an idea why?

Is it even possible to downgrade a game update?
I have the NA disc of botw and I want to downgrade it's update to a version that supports the currently trainer version.
I know I can download updates with usb helper but I was told the console will just force me back to the last game update I accidently downloaded of botw.

it shouldn't force you to update, but it will say that there's a game update. just cancel it.

Ok but is it truly possible to downgrade to an old game update with my physical copy?

 

[JustCallMeAlec]

it shouldn't force you to update, but it will say that there's a game update. just cancel it.

This is why my code looks like in storage_slc/security/versions.bin.

00 05 00 0E 10 1C 93 00 00 00 FF FF 00 00 00 21 00 05 00 0E 10 1C 94 00 00 00 20 2B 00 00 00 21 00 05 00 0E 10 1C 95 00 00 00 FF FF 00 00 00 C0

I thought I did it right, but now every time I launch the game I get the following image.
Taking off the DNS settings still brings this error up.
It just places me back at the Wii U Menu after selecting back. This does not happen for any other game on the console.
Also, I'm not sure if it matters but I installed the game and update to the USB drive.
I have the v33 patch installed and the USA version of the game and I'm on 5.5.2 U.
Any chance you would happen to know what I'm doing wrong?

I had the same problem, and i using a EU version

 00 05 00 0E 10 1C 94 00 00 00 FF FF 00 00 00 70 00 05 00 0E 10 1C 95 00 00 00 20 25 00 00 00 70

with this code i had the same error

But i see in the code for US version isnt 20 25 but FF FF,
I have downgrade a update then my old update (V192) Has to leave tracks.

So i have modded code for EU with

00 05 00 0E 10 1C 94 00 00 00 FF FF 00 00 00 70 00 05 00 0E 10 1C 95 00 00 00 FF FF 00 00 00 70

This is a clear code, with this my console download a v112 update for BoTW

P.S: sorry for my bad english

You don't need to roll back updates or do tedious hex editing or exploit in-game glitches to obtain items in BotW. You can quickly and easily use a save game editor to obtain anything in the game you want. Arrows, rupees, items, ancient items, upgraded fairy fountain gear, amiibo items, horses, dlc items, and things you're not supposed to have like the bow of light and the one hit obliterator. You can also add enchants like extra damage, 5 shot bows, and even modify durability. I have 99 Revali's Gale. It's incredible! The only thing I don't see available is the master cycle unfortunately

Upload your save file here. Always keep a backup just in case.

So I know this is late, but I can't find BOTW's title id in the versions.bin.

 

[BeRnYGP]

So I know this is late, but I can't find BOTW's title id in the versions.bin.

The TitleIDs are the following:


"\mlc01\usr\title\00050000" :

• TLoZ: Breath of the Wild (JPN): 101C9300
  
  
• TLoZ: Breath of the Wild (USA): 101C9400
  
  
• TLoZ: Breath of the Wild (EUR): 101C9500

• TLoZ: Breath of the Wild (EUR): 101C9500

So I did find the USA one in that location, but I still can not find it in the versions.bin.

Ok first, you got the file from "/storage_slc/security/versions.bin" ,right?

Later you opened it with a Hex Editor and search for the TitleID (US 0E101C9400 / EU 0E101C9500 / JP 0E101C9300) in Hex Format search, not as Strings.

When you find it, you will get a line like this:

• 00 05 00 0E 10 1C 94 00 00 00 20 35 00 00 00 D0

As you can see, the number 0E101C9400 is in that line, and in there is D0, where D0 is the update number that you are going to change.

The version 1.5.0 (that is the v208) is D0; so instead of the D0, you are going to change it to C0, where C0 is the update for 1.4.1, or if you want the 1.4.0 update then B0


I have not tested it, so Im not sure if it still works. It seems that if you are using the last version of BotW and FW 5.5.2 it will not work cause the game itself leaves traces of the last version but you can try if you want. Besides, its some kinda risky if you are messing up with that file. I guess you want to do that because of the Trainer but you can search for the codes by yourself using JGecko or maybe using a Save Editor that it can give you "everything" what you want.

Yeah I’m using BOTW 1.4.1 and FW 5.5.1. I’ve done everything you said and have not found that line and the save editor doesn’t seem to work for me.

Pretty weird...
What Hex Editor are you using? I have been using HxD and I dont have problems finding that.
My guess is that if you have deleted the game and the updates, then the versions.bin deletes that entries.
But If you want, I can check your versions.bin and search that if it really you have that line.
Though I dont know why you want to downgrade, you have the 1.4.1 and the trainer works good with that version.
And about the save editor. You need to put the "game_data.sav" and put it in the correct folder.

The cheat codes in the trainer work, but the items don’t appear. If I get the chance I’ll upload my versions.bin.

Thanks a lot, it works for me, I downgrade Botw from 1.5.0 to 1.4.1 and I am using FW 5.5.2 and console does not ask me for update.

I'm glad that it helped you.

About your "versions.bin", you are right. You dont have that line. Then it must because you dont have well installed the updates; So my recommendation is that you delete all the game of BotW and install it again; start the game and let the game download the last update. So that way, you are forcing the Wii U to recognize the game as its installed in the console and it should appear now in the "versions.bin". And if that doesnt works, Try to download a DLC from the e-shop too. And if that doesn't works... Im sorry but you are going to use the last version of BotW for playing.
