Hello,
I have a EU console, and using FTP I changed Game_region in config file to 2 to make it US
After restarting, I cannot do anything from the game pad. I cannot go to system settings or open the browser .
how do I reset the console it back to my old region?
thanks

I don't know if this has something to do with it, but the gamepad is region locked. afaik, there's no way to fix this besides a hard mod.
Your WiiU is a brick now. Sorry. I doubt you can repair it. Gamepad is essential. You literally told the WiiU´s processor "Hey, i´m on another region now! Only boot when this region is being used (gamepad/games)!"
And this cpu has some of the most-advanced security out there/ever built. Preventing you from doing anything.
A WiiU can boot without a gamepad or with a damaged gamepad (it can repair the console´s OS via the gamepad)! But: Since the console itself has NO FIRMWARE in it, you cannot update it when you literally killed the console´s OS, when your gamepad doesn´t match the correct region (since the cpu will refuse to accept your boot-command
opening up the system and reflashing the nand. should be easy to change back after that.
a hard mod should correct that. if you mean contacting nintendo, I thought I read that they no longer repair wii us.
You can make the console region free by editing system.xml, but that's not how you do it, you enable every region at once. What made you think it was a good idea to disable the original region that the firmware runs on?Hello,

you need either a nand dump from before you changed that value or the otp.bin. if you don't have either, then it's impossible to fix. I'm not even sure if nintendo can fix that. they probably wouldn't be bothered by it and send a refurbished system back to you.
you could consider it a device error even if it was changed by the user. there's no way nintendo would know for sure of that.
