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.

Try running "sudo chmod +x bluubomb".

chmod is a privileges command, right? I seem to remember it, but I'm kinda a noob at linux.

It makes a file executable.
Pretty sure it would say "permission denied" instead of "not found", if that'd be the issue though.

That's great progress.
Now just replace "arm_kernel.bin" with the kernel file of your choice. For example "arm_kernel_loadfile.bin".

And now i get this, let me reboot Linux and see if that helps

Are you using virtual box?
You need to pass through your bluetooth adapter in the usb settings.

I am on a real computer with Ubuntu 21.04

Basically not compatible manufacturer, like I said before, maybe we can install this .bin into the Wiimotes instead.

It's unable to set the device address and the simple pairing mode for your bluetooth chip.
I'll have to look into that.

 

[E1ite007]

Howdy.
Tried and this happened when running the last command:

EDIT: It just stays at "listening for connections...", it never connects.

Yeah pretty much, I'd test on my other PC but I'm not sure this would work on a Live CD for Linux... :v

Press the sync button on the console first then run the program, after that just wait for a few minutes. Shouldn't take more than 1 or 2.

Did it the first time, didn't work. Tried running the program, then pressing the Sync button, and didn't work. Tried again as you say in the guide, it doesn't work.
If I use an USB bluetooth adapter, does the port where the adapter is connected should matter? For example, if I connect it to a USB 1.0, or USB 2.0, would it make something different?

EDIT: It worked, after the 6th try. So... yeah.

Great! Now write done the address of your Wii U so you don't have to go through the pairing again in the future.

Howdy.
Again. What the "launch.rpx" file should be?

Whatever you want to be launched.
You can use the rpx version of the Homebrew Launcher for example.

Huh.
I tried with your version of Homebrew Launcher, and dimok's, and all of those launch to a black screen, although the Wii U doesn't turn off or crash (I don't hear any buzz or pitch).

Hmm that's weird.
What application on the Wii U did you launch?

 

[KeeperCP1]

It's all new! The Bluetooth exploit for Wii Mini on the Wii U mode! (i'm finally back!)

 

[E1ite007]

Hmm that's weird.
What application on the Wii U did you launch?

None, after the exploit launches, it immediately goes to black screen, or if the .rpx is missing, it turns off.
