Hacking Bought used WiiU, need help. Please~

There is nothing like bootmii for WiiU like stated before.
To restore your backup the only way is through a hardmod, as explained. This involves soldering wires directly to your WiiU and manually restore it by transfering it over. Essentially, it is something someone trained in this has to do for you, unless you know how to do it.

well the thing we could call "bootmii" would be cbhc, although it is not that complex, its function is to boot before everything else, and it can also take you directly to the vwii and the wii u hbl and wii hbc

And what if the case occurred that I've wrecked the Wii U? Error 160-0103? Can I still enter vWii mode?

^I'm interested in knowing this as well since I did not know that CBHC had this function.

You just hit the home button upon booting then a menu will come up and you can choose homebrew launcher, vwii, homebrew channel etc...

CBHC has this function to boot in several "modes". Wii u hbl, vwii, vwii hbl, fw.img and system menu.

Well...then we could'nt call the "Autobooting" menu bootmii. Because with bootmii you could also restore the Nand. Which unfortunately does not work with cbhc.

thats why i said it was not that complex

There is nothing. There is a boot1 exploit. But that's not important or with other words said useful for us. The only way to restore a nand backup is (like i said) a hardmod.

if i have nand backup, correct?

anyway, what is that hardmod exactly?

Read the guide which i have linked. This should answer your questions. Due to the fact that we don't have something like a bootmii for the wii u, or a custom bootloader like the switch with hekate, a hardmod is the only way to restore a nand backup. Hardmod means you have to solder. And here it requires experience on a micro basis. I don't know what you want to know anymore.

I'm not annoyed. But I gave you links that you really should read, as they might be of interest to you as well. A hardmod is not necessary as long as you know everything you do with your console. And unless you throw any garbage on your console or edit or delete important system files, you're safe. Don't delete cbhc or format your console if cbhc is installed. That's all. If you plan to sold the console uninstall cbhc before. There is nothing much to know about that.

I will read, i just wanted to talk live so to say. It's easier for me.
