My wii u brick and I don't have nand's bakckup. Can I restore with this procedure? If I use a backup of another Wii U will it work?
If you have otp.bin from you console - you can unbrick. If not = console for parts only.
Hi Leeful,Great to see you have made some progress with this.I'm gonna have to try it. I've been putting off doing the soldering for too long now.
On another note I've been trying to decrypt the nand dumps and this is what I've found that works.:
Code:To decrypt the image: openssl aes-128-cbc -d -nopad -K YOUR_KEY_FROM_OPT -iv 00000000000000000000000000000000 -in Input.img -out Decrypted.img

To make it more easy to get the OTP keys I've attatched a python script to extract the need keys for each nand. Just run it in the same folder as your otp.bin
Although this might not help the current situation it may be useful to someone in the future.
I made a backup of the bin files prior to installing coldboot and then my son went to sell the wiiu and didnt tell me, so he restored it and now it is bricked with error 160-0101.
Now I used your otp get key file, on my bin but nothing happens,. ,I have placed it in the folder with my otp.bin, I have installed python so when I double click the script a text windows comes up for a second and then closes. Tee otp.bin fine is only 1 kb.
otp.bin is unique file for/from current console. If you have good backup slc.bin (before install cbhc) - just flash it with teensy2.0++
If you have only otp.bin from your console - you needed read slc.bin, then edit system.xml, and flash fixed slc.bin back

thank you for reply, I did make a backup prior to CBHC install, the files are
nincfg.bin 1kb
otp.bin 1kb
seeprom.bin 1kb
slc.bin 540,672 kb
slccmpt.bin 540,672 kb
so after all these year no one has figured out an easier way of unbricking.
You have all chances to unbrick your wiiu. Just flash back good slc.bin. teensy2.0++ and soldering iron with middle solder skills needed.
All without manual backup fix
No. In mlc after reset just deleted some files (games, apps, saves). If backup created BEFORE coldboot = system.xml (placed in slc.bin) without any changes = all system app can be loaded. Just if you install cbhc - first loaded app swap to hacked title, after reset console to default settings all loaded title will deleted from mlc = console cant load anything and get error.
ok guys i managed to get everything working and flashed the slc.bin to the cbhc bricked wiiu , it said completed, my issue was i did not have pyserial install, but now I just cut the connections on the teensy and left them incase but when i turn on my wiiu it is stuck on the wiiu screen, and nothing happens, if my cd drive is unplugged i get a disk error. could the issue be the wires?
removed wires still nothing, just a wiiu white sceen, sucks caues it definitely flashed the slc.bin, what is going on.

Try unpack your slc.bin with your keys. Check system.xml file (first loaded app will be system menu) and check serial number on housing and this file.
*for checking your wiiu after flash just unsolder only gnd point
Thank you so much for the reply sundaywarrior. I wish i would have know tgat the ground can be removed to test. It took me so long to silder everything back up again. I will do what you said. If this work I will buy you a coffee for the help. One more question. When I run nandchecker on the slc.bin it says it found 2 hmas errors and also could there be a problem with the cpu. I noticed it got real hot so I placed a 12v fan on it to keep it.
Tengo mi wii u con cbhc brick con error 160-0103 ... bueno eh hice este tutorial al pie de la letra eh logré leer el nand y escribirlo de nuevo y adivinen q tube .. ahora el wii u se enciende pero no no da una imagen ni dice nada el gamepad se queda n**** si alguien tiene la solución agradecería su ayuda por favor

I just googled it. it should be able to fix other issues, but you do need a clean nand or the otp and know how to fix whatever is wrong software wise without the nand.

well actually
a new console won't do anything right now, because the games are still in development, that's why there are few games being released -
