Sorry to ask such a noob-ish question, but I am going to assume that this exploit will work on 5.3.2 aswell?
Sorry if its been said, im super tired and skimmed through this thread.
Sorry for the OT, but is your profile picture coming from Inazuma Eleven?

would that mean the existing 5.3.2 hack could use the kernel exploit to gain IOSU permissions and not have to use a game either?

A game is usually required to run your code with its permissions, e.g. access to SD card. With the combination of exploits you should be able to run anything, as you can just load it off a USB device (IOSU takes care of both hardware access and signature checking). Plus it isn't "bon ton" to require a game, as prices will shoot through the roof as we've seen with Cubic Ninja.

With the IOSU being compromised.. Yes expect backup loaders.. Online play.. Emunand... And the homebrew channel
Don't get really Hyped right now, when this become public to everyone there will be no Backup Loader or emulators or something like that, just the Exploit, those things need to be made in the future.

I'm not worried about it lol I'm just stating what can and will be done.. Now what will be released on the first day that's something none of us know other than Hykem but expect releases to be fairly quick after the exploit is released.

And there's still nothing released so no guarantee of anything.

It's like with the Cturt PS4 "jailbreak" exploit having people's hopes up to the point of them even buying expensive old bundles on Amazon in preparation. Then, all of a sudden, he posts an Anti-Piracy screed on his blog and denying he's going to release anything piracy related. effing lol.

Yea, I know, but I just believe in Hykem, he wouldn't just say something like that without knowing what he is doing.
I mean, the work that he had made in WiiUBrew reporting IOSU stuff is just insane, have you seen that?

If you read this someday, keep it up! lol

Glad something like that can't happen to us, or at least me. I haven't bought anything extra other than what I already have. If it doesn't deliver, it isn't going to impact me since we at least have Loadiine. I personally think Hyke will need more time. There's only about 5 days left and he still has to find a way to run IOSU for 5.4 and 5.5 users.

For everyone saying that there won't be a backup loader initially, that's not actually correct. Loadiine won't magically become extinct just yet. As long as loadiine is ported, it should be able to be used on any firmware. The IOSU exploit should basically take over the IOSU (user or kernel, doesn't matter), un-protect the kernel memory, overwrite it with the patched kernel, and then leave it as-is. From there, loadiine should work just like before, but maybe with a bit more stability than the current kernel exploit. I'm personally just waiting for the Loadiine4+pygecko combo, seeing as they should be able to map whatever memory they want through IOSU without disturbing each other.

Will this harm the wiiu considering I had used the permanent spoof released not long ago?

If someone got around to it, they could make a "spoof uninstaller" with this new exploit since we can now override the protection that stops you from installing "old" versions of tickets (or pretty much any title for that matter). I'm sure it would be a popular request so the chances of it becoming a reality are fairly high.

But no, it probably wouldn't affect you in any way.

Edit: Actually, you could probably do this yourself by just downloading the 5.3.2 system version title and installing it once this is released.

In that case, it would also be possible to downgrade parts of the console as we saw fit to create the ideal exploitable environment to boot from. For starters, as I'm sure Hykem won't have time to make a stable webkit exploit for 5.4/5.5, it should be easy enough to just downgrade the browser using an unstable exploit for the time being, or permanently, depending on the necessity of a stable new webkit exploit I guess. Of course, it would also be possible to go back to 5.0.0 and use the "easier" IOSU exploit as well, depending on if that gets released or not. Lots of options here for sure. Anyway, having the best booting environment should be a priority to achieve after the release of an emunand tool, so not an immediate one by any means. Still, there might be exploits in older versions of the quickboot menu that can be used for boot-time code injection, so it's probably worth looking into anyway.

So I have a Wii U stuck on 4.0.0 should i update to 5.3.2 to use loadline or just wait for this IOSU exploit? I mainly bought this secondhand Wii to be the "hackable" wii so I'm not sure what to do now since this new exploit might be available soon
