I think I screwed up the console, a few days ago I installed Tiramisu (I had cbhc), the thing is that I changed the theme of the console (I have done it many times) but apparently the file was injected wrong, which left me with the loop in the Wii U menu, something that fixed without problems with CBHC, starting in the HBL and then using ftp to fix this, and now with Tiramisú I try to boot the HBL and it won't let me, it gets stuck, I can even open Vwii, but not the HBL, with CBHC if it allowed me, since this had happened to me before, now I can't open the ftp server and change the files.
If anyone has a solution or can tell Maschell that would be great. Because with CBHC the risk of this type of changes was minimal.

It has already been solved, here is the guide from maschell, in case it happens to another user in the future.

Mocha has a mechanism to load a .rpx from the sd card instead the wii u menu, with this it should be possible to boot into an rpx, for example an ftp client.
1. Download the .rpx from https://github.com/Laf111/WiiUFtpServer/releases "HBL-WiiUFtpServer.zip"
2. Rename the .rpx to men.rpx
3. Copy the file to sd:/wiiu/men.rpx
4. Boot into the Wii U Menu
5. This should boot the console into the ftp server
6. Do magic stuff to unbrick via ftp
7. remove that men.rpx from the sd card to boot again into the real wii u menu

What happens when you boot the system while holding X on the gamepad?

you should've compared bytes with file size before exiting after installing a theme. I've been using a theme since like September, and it's never given me a problem. :D

Maschell helped me, in the end it turns out that Tiramisu is much more versatile than it seems, and regarding the installation of the themes, I have noticed that some ftp servers give more errors than others, but in the end I am glad to have found one solution, thanks to you and Maschell for the help.

You were able to get it all working properly? Glad to hear it. The good thing is, that it does seem that while installing themes can go badly (especially if you don't use the right ftp client), they are easy enough to fix if you're using CBHC or now Tiramisu. Still, anyone else not in a permanent CFW, I would strongly advise against installing themes permanently to.

Then boot while holding + and enter the homebrew launcher. And stop installing themes.
In fact I was trying to do it that way, but it didn't work, in the end I tried Maschell's method and everything was solved, and btw, I love modifying my wii u, plus I'm happy to know that Tiramisu can replace CBHC even in these situations.

Yes, I like to change the look of the menu from time to time, with CBHC I was unconcerned if something went wrong (in fact it happened several times), now that I think about it I was really irresponsible to install themes in that way without knowing in advance if I could recover the brick with tiramisú tools, I was very lucky I guess.

Indeed, I updated my already custom Wara Wara Plaza on the NAND before switching from CBHC to Tiramisu (had to change some of the things the Miis said in regard to quickstarts and whatnot that no longer applied to CBHC or that would now apply to Tiramisu), because I already knew that if anything went wrong when making that change for CBHC, that it could be recovered and fixed so long as I still have CBHC (as I've learned from experience lol), while I wasn't sure what Tiramisu might mean for such recoveries. But it sounds like it's as solid as CBHC for making such recoveries, so that's great to know.

By the way, I must also thank you, because I used your two tutorials to completely modify my Menu (and I love to contemplate it from time to time xD), and yes, knowing that Tiramisu covers our back while we continue to modify the console is a relief.

Vâng, thỉnh thoảng tôi thích thay đổi giao diện của menu, với CBHC, tôi không quan tâm nếu có điều gì đó không ổn (trên thực tế nó đã xảy ra nhiều lần), bây giờ tôi nghĩ về nó, tôi thực sự vô trách nhiệm khi cài đặt các chủ đề theo cách đó mà không biết trước liệu tôi có thể khôi phục viên gạch bằng các công cụ tiramisú hay không, Tôi đã rất may mắn, tôi đoán vậy.
xin chào, tôi rất vui khi đọc bài đăng của bạn, tôi đã bị gạch khi tôi thay đổi phông chữ hệ thống wiiu, wiiU bị gạch và không thể vào homebrew, nhưng payloader đã làm việc, tôi đã thử theo cách của bạn nhưng vẫn không, tôi đã sao chép thư mục sai? (chỉ cần sao chép vào thư mục wiiu?)

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages

    It does that when I edit a post.

    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
