Whenever I try to load the homebrew channel with the A button pressed I get a black screen with a "-5". What is that and how can I fix it? It used to work before...
It is my mistake, I am updating the installer.

Installer updated, reinstall Haxchi with this and you should be ready to go.

Heh, silly mistake? It looks like the recovery.elf was gonna be launched if any L, R, down or A buttons were pressed.

I also have this - 5 issue if I press A. If I don't press anything (to launch my RedNAND), it shows iosuhax screen and after that the screen goes black and stays that way. You said to install haxchi again with the updated file. However, I cannot seem to be able to launch HBL so how can I install it?

Also, I checked the contents of my SD card with a PC and there is no recovery.elf in it. Should it have appeared automatically? Or should I download it from somewhere?

PS: everything was working (HBL from sysNAND, RedNAND, and HBL from RedNAND) before I tried installing this coldboot. Any advice is appreciated.

Last night I tried to install this coldboot hax, and the first outcome was a softbrick. The system would have bootloop trying to get iosuhax, so I attempted to uninstall it and replaced the syshax.xml and system.xml. Needless to say that I believe I bricked my system, is there anything I can do to fix this issue?

Just got around to testing this. I'm glad we finally have an easy way to install haxchi, along with coldboothax.
The Wii U scene has greatly picked up in the last couple of months. We now have offline exploits as well as the ability to even hack vWii.
The last thing I have to wait for is the work of SALT and what they come up with.

Edit:
Just to note I installed onto BrainAge US and set it to coldboot redNAND fw.img. Successful install first time, no problems colbooting into redNAND.

    @Xdqwerty, People who create revival services for the Wii end up in disaster, same goes for Pretendo lol.

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
