Depends on your definition of "downloading homebrew". Of course there is homebrew software that can damage the software if used incorrectly.
  • You can brick your Wii U by using Cold Boot Haxchi (CBHC) wrong (not following ALL rules)
– or –​
  • by messing around with ftpuii everywhere.
Your console will not brick when following https://wiiu.hacks.guide

Create a NAND backup and store in a safe location. If anything goes wrong you will need a hardmod (soldering tiny points) for restoration. Without a backup (or at least the OPT.bin key file) nobody can undo the damage.

Good luck and have fun!

    I've been to his chicken restaurant he started in his 2nd movie, Holy Chicken, was pretty good. It is only 15-20 miles from me in Ohio. It only lasted 1 yr or so then closed tho.
  • OctoAori20 @ OctoAori20:
    There are very few people I just have just an immense dislike of and he's one of those very few people, the only other example is Gene Simmons. My musician uncle on my mother's side of the family actually met Gene once during some event and said he was the most unpleasant person to be around.
