    Hacking my spectacular but (currently) failing attempt to fix a cbhc brick

    i already can rule loose connections and anything you could possibly diagnose from pictures out. thanks, but as you already suggested, i already know these things and unfortunately these aren't the issue. to the best of my knowledge, the current contents of the nand are good and cbhc-free...

    Hacking my spectacular but (currently) failing attempt to fix a cbhc brick

    i think i've seen standalone consoles as cheap as 40€ (seems to be about 48$ in freedom money), so yeah. i think i'll still try to investigate a bit before buying a replacement, but i don't really expect anything to come of it.

    Hacking my spectacular but (currently) failing attempt to fix a cbhc brick

    so, update, the cbhc brick nand image didn't work (the led stayed red when turning on), but i could restore the blue simply by programming the original nand backup again... however, i've started noticing that the led is actually *blinking* blue, rather than solid blue, which, after some...

    Hacking my spectacular but (currently) failing attempt to fix a cbhc brick

    eh, i was more asking into the general void in case *somebody* has an idea which files might be interesting or relevant to look into. the link you gave is unfortunately only for the mlc nand and usb devices, which isn't useful to me rn. i'm planning on repurposing something from...

    Hacking my spectacular but (currently) failing attempt to fix a cbhc brick

    i came up with a plan: 1. try to write the (possibly corrupted) cbhc brick nand image back to the nand. i know this will take quite some time. 2. while the teensy is writing, try to figure out a way to write changes to files in the nand image on my computer, and replace the system.xml in a copy...

    Hacking my spectacular but (currently) failing attempt to fix a cbhc brick

    thanks, i got the extraction working both with the original nand backup as well as the (presumably?) corrupted version that has the cbhc brick on it. i'm starting to think the backup i made might actually be fine, as i'm not seeing any obvious signs of corruption (some files seem to be missing...

    Hacking my spectacular but (currently) failing attempt to fix a cbhc brick

    i... tried to make a backup of the previous image, but unfortunately there was some instability with the electrical connections that i only ironed out *after* that, so i now consider the file corrupted :/ i do also have the otp.bin, so that could be useful for examining and changing the...

    Hacking my spectacular but (currently) failing attempt to fix a cbhc brick

    i am not regretting my decision yet, and i *can* solder wires, as evidenced by the fact that i fixed those tiny traces (turns out enameled copper wire is pretty good for that). i can check whether the connections work (which i just checked again), AND it booted to the cbhc error screen before i...

    Hacking my spectacular but (currently) failing attempt to fix a cbhc brick

    so. my smart brain recently decided to get myself a wii u, for hacking, and, y'know, to play games on. because i decided to be extra smart, i decided to get a bricked (cbhc brick) wii u with nand backups, and then do the hardmod to fix the brick myself; which yes, is and was a fun journey, and i...
