It's confirmed. It works!

This guide uses the FREE DLC "Language pack" to do the trick. You need download it on eshop.

In this tutorial I'll show you how to play Zelda BOTW with all DLCs unlocked without start a CFW or something for this. It should work with others games with multiple DLC like MK8, Wii Sports Club, Super Smash Bros, Hyrule Warriors and others. Of course you need a legit DLC from game you want to play.

For Super Smash Bros detail follow this link:

For MK8 detail follow this link:

What you need:

Spoiler

• Zelda BOTW "Language Pack" downloaded from eshop. You need the latest update and download it from game options (needs a legit DLC)
• Mocha CFW, Haxchi CFW, or any other (just in the beginning)
• WiiU App Store (or Tik2SD + FTPiiU_Everywhere + WUP Installer GX2 +
  Mocha CFW + Homebrew Launcher)
• WiiU USB Helper
• SD Card
• PC
• Hex Editor (HxD for Windows)

1 - First if you have any illegitimate Zelda BOTW DLC installed, just delete it using using Data manager on WiiU Config
2 - Download the DLC on eshop
3 - Make sure your SD card is formatted in FAT32
4 - Download the DLC of Zelda BOTW of your region with WiiU USB Helper and put it in your SD card in na folder called "install" in the root.
5 - Go to Homebrew Launcher and choose App Store or go to wiiubru.com/go on you browser and choose App Store. If you don't know what's Homebrew Launcher is give a look in this guide (parts I, II and III) and choose start App Store.
6 - In App Store Download Tik2SD + FTPiiU_Everywhere + WUP Installer GX2 + Mocha CFW + Homebrew Launcher
7 - Launch Homebrew Launcher and go to Mocha_CFW (use default options). Then go to WUP Installer GX2 and choose install the DLC of Zelda BOTW you just download wherever is your game (nand or USB).
8 - Back to Homebrew Launcher, go to Tik2SD and backup your tickets. Put your SD in PC and look at tik2sd folder. Open keys.txt and search where your Zelda BOTW DLC is installed. The name you need to search is 0005000c101c9400 or 0005000c101c9500 or 0005000c101c9300.
9 - Now it's time for hex editing.
Use the link from www.marcrobledo.com/wiiu-tik-fixer/ (thanks @marc_max )
open the folder and in tik2sd wich the ticket from you game is , than drop on the site above, you gonna see 2 tickets, click in fix, and download the file , than go to step 10.

Spoiler

If you want to do manually, then thanks to @Rahzadan we have a VERY detailed tutorial for it. Go to this thread and after the hex editing go to step 10 below.

Spoiler

If you followed the @Rahzadan tutorial or used the @marc_max website above, go to step 10. I'll keep this part only for log
purpose.

Spoiler

Locate your ticket in your SD card according with keys.txt. Open with an hex editor (in my case it's on 0009 folder and the name is 00000015.tik. Backup the ticket.

Look that you gonna have 2x finds in the key.txt file. In my case 0009/00000015.tik@0x6a0 and 0009/00000015.tik@0x0. The number after the "@" shows where the ticket starts inside the tik file. It means probably the fake ticket is in beginning of tik (0x0) file and my legit ticket starts in 0x6a0 (note is in hexadecimal).

The fake ticket is like this, a lot of same numbers:

Spoiler

In this case it shows SSB ticket, but for Zelda BOTW ticket is the same thing, just another Game ID.

Pay attention in the blue highlight. It shows the game ID. If it says a number other than 0005000c101c9400 or 0005000c101c9500 or 0005000c101c9300 it means the ticket is from another game!

The trick here is swap the fake ticket with the legit ticket, that way the legit ticket always come first in the tik file! This picture can demonstrate what I mean:

Spoiler

In this case it shows SSB ticket, but for Zelda BOTW ticket is the same thing.

Maybe there's another game ticket inside the tik file, maybe not. Anyway, just copy and past with your hex editor the fake ticket with the legit ticket. Pay attention and don't touch other game tickets in the tik file!

If your legit ticket comes first you don't need swap the tickets! You already can play with all DLC unlocked! I believe it can happens if you download the free DLC after install the fake DLC.

After the swap save your ticket in your PC.

10 - Now put your SD back in WiiU. Open Homebrew Launcher and launch FTPiiU_everywhere (make sure you had launch Mocha CFW or other CFW before that)
11 - Go to your Zelda BOTW ticket location inside WiiU memory using a FTP browser like FileZilla or even Windows Explorer with the IP of your WiiU. Its in "storage_slc/rights/ticket/apps/xxxx/xxx.tik". Replace that ticket with the one you just modified.
12 - Open your Zelda BOTW game and enjoy play with all contents without CFW!

TL;DR: Download the free DLC, install all DLC packet with a fake ticket, locate your ticket inside WiiU, swap the legit ticket with the fake ticket inside the tik file so that the legit ticket appears first.

Thank to @nexusmtz and @Madridi

Just to make sure I don´t destroy anything...
My HDD is free from any hacking and it only contains real games and more important savedata. Is there a risk to lose them somehow by installing the DLC with WUP Installer GX2 to the HDD? Game is on Disc if that matters.

There's almost no risk to your "real" games. I should point out that it's always good practice to periodically backup your save files using something like SaveMii. Otherwise, you risk losing everything in the event of an HDD failure unrelated to whether or not you installed DLC.

I suggest to seek some unused thumbdrive laying around that is big enough, plug it on your Wii U (remove your HDD beforehand), and experiment from there.
If the installation is successful, then you may move it to your main HDD

How do I safely access the shop to download the language pack?

How do I safely access the shop to download the language pack?

If you haven't already done so, you should block updates using the proper DNS settings and/or deleting the update folder on your NAND. After you're done with one or both of those update-blocking mechanisms, you can run NNU-Patcher to enter the eShop and download the language pack.

 

[Cyan]

Or you don't need to use NNUpatcher if you are already using 5.5.2
as long as there's no new update you can just access eShop without protection, but having DNS or deleted update folder are both safe methods you should use even on 5.5.2, just in case of new unexpected firmware update.

 

[Cyber Akuma]

You said it works on other games. How would it work on something like Pikmin 3 where you can't purchase the DLC from the eshop and it has to be purchased from in-game?

Also, woulden't you still need to know the ticket number for any other game you wanted to do this to? Is there a list anywhere?

It works fine with pikmin. A friend of mine got a dlc using Nintendo Club promotion and did this method. Other gbatemp user did it with wiiu sports where you also need to buy the dlc in game.

You need to use tik2sd to find your game and this site can help too

It doesn't matter how it's purchased, as long as it is purchased. Eshop or ingame. The end result is both cases is that you get a legit ticket.

Is there a better topic I can talk about other games for this? Since I tried these exact steps with other games but it's not working and just corrupting my DLC, and I don't want to spam the BOTW topic with another game.

In the beginning I created a thread for each game (MK, SSB, etc) but I think it's better you ask here, I'll ask to close the other threads since it's basically the same process.

Don't forget you need to edit you tik file manually, don't use @marc_max website in step 9, just go to this thread to see how to edit it. You can ask there too if you have a question about the tik editing.

AND MOST IMPORTANT: DO A BACKUP OF YOUR TIK FILES

Why I have been banned?

LOL

@Cyber Akuma wants to try it with pikmin, idk if you site supports pikmin, that's why i said to edit the file manually @marc_max (am I wrong? Does your site supports other games than MK, SSB and BOTW. If yes it awesome!)

Ah, ok. The two games I was trying to do it to was Pikmin 3 and Tokyo Mirage Sessions.

I was able to do it successfully for BOTW and Smash, but am having issues with that ticket site. It only shows a single valid ticket, not both a valid and invalid ticket like it did for BOTW and Smash, and because of this I can't "fix" it to allow my installed DLC to work. This also causes even my legitimate DLC to not work, even if I delete it and re-download it. I had to mess with being in-and-out of CFW to try to actually legitimately re-download and install the DLC I purchased... half the time the eshop claimed it was downloading one file, the other half two. At this rate, I am worried all this re-downloading in and out of CFW from the eshop might have flagged me for a ban in the future... Still not even sure how to properly get my purchased DLC to install, most of the time it fails when attempting to install it on game boot after re-downloading it.

And I tried reading up on how to manually do it with a hex editor, but I didn't fully understand it.

Any advice about all this? Especially about managing to get my purchased DLC to re-download and re-install properly.

I didn't read the entire post (about to go to bed) but I noticed you said it only shows a valid ticket, which I assume you mean a real ticket, not fake.

In that case, the answer is simple. Install the dlc from Wii U USB helper or wherever, then run tik2sd again. You should see the tickets then.

For the records I have done the procedure for those 2 games myself. So there is no reason to worry about any incompatibility issues or anything

That's what I did. Purchased DLC from the eshop, and then installed the rest of the DLC downloaded from USB Helper using WUP Installer GX2, then used tik2sd to dump my tickets.

However, the tickets site only showed a single valid ticket after all that.

Don't worry about using eshop with CFW. There's no danger so far.

Also if you have a backup of the tik you don't need to download the dlc again. Just restore the tik thru ftp.

@marc_max confirmed the site works with any game so pls double check the dlc code number on tik2sd output.

If you don't have a backup check what others games are on the tik file. Worst case you gonna need to delete the tik file and download these games/dlc/updates again (do a backup of your saves!)

 

[Cyber Akuma]

I meant more how I was repeatedly re-downloading the same DLC to fix this, and sometimes it seemed to be downloading two files and other times one (I have no idea what was up with that) depending on if I was connecting with CFW or not when downloading that might have set off red flags.

Unfortunately, seems that my last backup before I installed my own DLC was before I even installed these games, my next backup was after I installed the DLC to try to use that ticket site.

Does the ticket file ONLY contain DLC? Or does it contain other things? Are games themselves in the tickets and they would not work anymore if the tickets are deleted? What about updates? Or are they just for DLC and download-only games?

I really don't know about the program. I do it manually. You should probably check manually if 2 tickets are there or not. Make a recent tik2sd dump first

OK look this:

https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-hex-editing-unlocking-dlc-without-cfw-or-sigpatch.469698/

And download HxD, open your file and tell us if you see 2 tickets like this:

It can has more than 2 tickets too if in the file has another games.
