You are not too harsh, Ethelbert. It just turns out that this slop actually helped me with the problem. So I just posted it. I did not want to make anybody uncomfortable. Your solution is way better, of course. I just did not know that.
Good news: your stubbornness is justified. There's absolutely a way, and you've actually done most of the work already. The problem isn't that console can't run this hack, it's purely a packaging problem.
First, your diagnosis is correct, and...
It keeps being the weirdest Wii U to me: I replaced CM7 and CM8. Now I have HDMI out. Could start minute via the pico and install ISFSHAX. Still, PTB is impossible to trigger. Tried 3 different SD <= 2GB all of them work on all my other Wii Us. I...
Correct. But there is no output with the serial uf2. But when I reflash the defuse uf2, defuse works. Including serial output. This Wii U just is nuts. I will check my soldering...

Well, soldering seems fine. And as I said. I get all...
if you have defused it could you dump the seeprom? There was some value in the seeprom the sdboot1 expects. Maybe on your console that value is different.
Your diagboot1 version is 7, which should be fine.
You could flash this firmware to the pico. It will give you the output without defusing. With that we could see where the PTB gets stuck exactly.
So far no luck:
I put the PTB SD in and trigger, right? Is my defuse not soldered fine? :O Defusing works without any problem, though. (with the defuse 1.1 uf2)
@Giuliano what is the reson for you to install ISFShax? Did the console have any problems before?
You should boot using the third option in minute.
That sounds like overheating. Make sure the fan spins and if it does check the condition of the...
Thank you! Yet, same result. I built it even with exploit.s and exploit2.s. Both work on all my other Wii Us. The WUP-50 acts as if boot1 or fw.img was not readable (Blue blinking). Without the SD it is static blue. When triggering PTB without SD...
Since multiple people having the same problem more, try the older minute from here: https://github.com/StroopwafelCFW/minute_minute/releases/tag/v1.5
Maybe something in the newer minutes broke something
Nice job. The important thing is that the connection underneath the slot is stable. As long as the amount doesn't hinder the card, all is fine. You should use flux and pretin the GND pad for the best result.
