BluUBomb exploits the Wii U's bluetooth stack to gain IOSU kernel access via bluetooth.

Not to be confused with BlueBomb for the Wii and Wii Mini.

What does this mean?
This means you can get IOSU code execution by only pairing an emulated Wii Remote to the system.

This should be useful to fix a few softbricks on the Wii U side.
You don't need a working browser or Mii Maker.
if you've messed up with regionhax and can no longer access the browser, BluUBomb can fix this as well.

The BluUBomb repository contains a few different kernel binaries for different purposes:

loadrpx.bin
Launches a launch.rpx from the root of your SD card on the next application launch.

regionfree.bin
Applies IOSU patches to temporarily remove region restrictions.
This should be helpful if you've locked yourself out of your applications due to permanent region modifications.

wupserver.bin
Launches a wupserver instance directly after using bluubomb.
This gets you full system access remotely via wupclient (replace the IP in line 29 with the one of your Wii U).
This works without having to leave the controller pairing screen.

you may not be in the correct directory. you can go up one with cd .. place the copy of the files in the home/your name directory.

Tried that it didn't work. Why is it saying that the command is not recognized!

 

[godreborn]

I'm assuming it can't find the file. I don't know.

btw, you can use the command sudo su to remove the need to use sudo for everything. you just have to put in your password once.

What's the output of "ls"? Is the bluubomb file in the same folder you're trying to run it in.

look

Try running "sudo killall bluetoothd".

 

[godreborn]

sudo su should only be on one line (by itself).

@GaryOderNichts now is just stuck here.

That means the bluetooth stack is running. You need to run the other command in a new terminal window or start bluetoothd without the -n flag.

I have an idea of what may be the problem. ./ is like an execute command. I don't think you need an actual bluubomb file (not sure), like with an extension of some sort.

nm, seems to be the correct command.

 

[GaryOderNichts]

Is the bluubomb file in the current folder? You seem to be in the WiimoteEmulator folder so you'd need to place the file there or navigate to somewhere else.

With this we will be able to run pirate games on wii u?

No, this has nothing to do with piracy or running games.

I got the same message about killing bluetooth. sudo killall bluetoothd doesn't work for me.

In WSL or a VM?
Did you run "sudo systemctl disable --now bluetooth"?

Copied the files inside and left in home directory, it still cant find the command... i have no idea what's going on... Can't we just somehow load this firmware into the WiiMote firmware? I am about to give up on this to be honest, been trying for a while now and that "command not found" is killing me :v

 

[godreborn]

wsl. it looks like this is where you get stuck. and, yes, I tried that command, and it can't find bluetooth.service

If you run "ls" does the bluubomb binary show up?
Also it might be unable to find a library. Try building it from source by running:
git clone https://github.com/GaryOderNichts/bluubomb
cd bluubomb
make

Yeah, I guess it won't work with WSL then.

@GaryOderNichts , I'll try something else if I ever need to. I'm not bricked, so it was more of a curiosity than anything else. wsl is kinda a pita, because it's so limited.
