And if the eMMC is bad, you would need solderings skills and a 32GB sdcard to replace it. The 64GB won't work for that. Sorry
I kinda figured it might have had a nand issue. I got this wii u about 6 months ago. Then I figured I'd put it on the shelf until someone alot smarter than me wrote the magic line of code... I found Gary Odernichts udpih on github a few months ago and got curious about a week ago when everyone was hollering about wii u's dying. I'm no good with code but I can definitely solder and re-ball *some chips. I have cheap equipment but I'm pretty handy.

if you can reaball, then you could even replace it properly with another emmc. But you would need to be careful, because there are chips on the other side, which could fall off.

I think you are definitely right about the sd card. Definitely worth a try. If it comes down to the emmc, I hope kapton tape will hold the stuff on the other side of the board...lol otherwise it would probably get interesting real fast!

Update- I have ordered a few different 64 gb sd cards (SanDisk and PNY) to give a little variety with compatibility. Last night I found a 64 gb patriot brand card and formatted it to fat 32 and copied the recovery menu over. When I run it on the wii u, it shuts it down evey time. I reformatted the sd several times with different clusters (64, 32 etc.) I unzipped the recovery menu file again just to make sure it didn't get corrupted- all with the same result (wii u shuts off after inserting raspberry pi usb cable. I know the patriot sd is an Amazon special so I just ordered some name brand cards figuring that may have something to do with it.

Maybe your micro sd to SD adapter doesn't
Z
make good contact or something like that
I thought the same... I tried another adapter and also cleaned all the contacts with 99% iso. In the mean time, I'll see if I can find another in a switch lite or tablet. I've heard of issues with original wii sd cards, but I don't have much experience with wii u honestly

http://ridgecrop.co.uk/index.htm?guiformat.htm I think this tool is recommended for formattings SD cards for the Wii U.
But so far I never had such problems.
Thank you, I'll give it a try. I used Aomei partition assistant to format it before.

- UPDATE... I was wondering if maybe I was over-thinking this. I googled maximum sd card size for wii u, and it says the wii u can only handle an SD card up to 32gb. If that were true, then a 32gb wii u emmc wouldn't be able to be dumped with software? Idk.. my brain hurts

No, the Wii U supports card that are bigger, it only requires them to be FAT32. I have that myself.
This statement was probably made because SDXC (over 32GB) comes with exFAT by default and according to spec. But you can just reformat and it whould work. At least it works for everyone else.

I'm going to try reformatting again with the program from the link you sent. I've received a new SanDisk 64 gb sdxc. I formatted it with the ridgecrop program and aomei - fat 32. When I load the sd and usb, the wii u shuts down after th initial wii u screen. I'm going to try to use my laptop instead of my pc. Maybe something is going on there. I know everything else is working properly because when I try to boot with the original 8gb I was using, it goes to the recovery menu.

Try win32 disk imager: create an image from the old card and then write it to the new one.
The new one should then show the capacity of the old one and all the files from the old one (you may have to reinsert it after writing)
Then try the card. If it works we can then try to increase the size of the file system again

Hello, sorry for the wait. I finally got it. The card + operator error was the issue. I dumped to a new sd card and finally figured out wfs-extract. Seems to be alot of errors. Thank you for all your help SDIO!!!! which files do I need to upload here?

Yeah this looks bad. Did you see any retrys during the dump?
If you want you can run my new MLC File Checker from this recovery I attached. It try to read every file and will generate a log "mlc_checker.txt". You can ignore the lines ending with 00000000, these are not errors, I just log every operation in case it get's stuck.

But from the output you posted I am pretty sure the eMMC is bust and should be replaced.

I didn't notice any retries. I could always try again though. I'll definitly try your program, Thanks for your help and input! I wouldn't be surprised if the emmc was bad. I figured I would learn a lot trying to repair this thing.

Still working on running your recovery menu, I will try again when home. I wasn't able to get it to run on the console. The last time I had this issue, I copied to the sd card from my laptop instead of my PC. It's really weird, I'll retry so I can get the logs you mentioned.
