BluUBomb - A primary Wii U entrypoint via bluetooth

H2x1_generic_WiiU_image1280w.jpg

BluUBomb exploits the Wii U's bluetooth stack to gain IOSU kernel access via bluetooth.

Not to be confused with BlueBomb for the Wii and Wii Mini.

What does this mean?
This means you can get IOSU code execution by only pairing an emulated Wii Remote to the system.

This should be useful to fix a few softbricks on the Wii U side.
You don't need a working browser or Mii Maker.
if you've messed up with regionhax and can no longer access the browser, BluUBomb can fix this as well.

The BluUBomb repository contains a few different kernel binaries for different purposes:

loadrpx.bin
Launches a launch.rpx from the root of your SD card on the next application launch.

regionfree.bin
Applies IOSU patches to temporarily remove region restrictions.
This should be helpful if you've locked yourself out of your applications due to permanent region modifications.

wupserver.bin
Launches a wupserver instance directly after using bluubomb.
This gets you full system access remotely via wupclient (replace the IP in line 29 with the one of your Wii U).
This works without having to leave the controller pairing screen.

Awesome! I remember once people claimed a bluetooth based exploit would be impossible... and this proved this claim wrong!

thanks for this tool, this may become really helpful for bricked WiiUs :D

None, after the exploit launches, it immediately goes to black screen, or if the .rpx is missing, it turns off.
Huh it should only launch the rpx if you launch an application on the Wii U menu.
It immediately crashes once you run bluubomb?
What region is your console?

US.
And... Idk tbh. Once the exploit launches ("sent 782 [...]" is what appears on the terminal of Ubuntu), from the Sync screen it goes to black screen or turns off the console.

This is great.... for the people who have a Wii U.

The number of Wiu U games that don't have ports somewhere else just keeps shrinking.
