CBHC Unbrick Guide without soldering
With the release of UDPIH it is now possible to unbrick CBHC bricks without requiring any soldering!
Press the EJECT button on the console until the Wii U menu entry corresponding to your console region is highlighted.
If you don't know your console region, check the second letter of your serial number on the bottom of the console:
If everything worked out you should see the following screen:
Now press EJECT and you should be back on the main menu. Navigate to Shutdown using the EJECT button and press POWER.
Your console should power off.
Now remove the Pi from the console, and power it back on. Your console should boot back into the Wii U menu.
And yeah that's it!
If this helped you to unbrick your console, feel free to support me on ko-fi!
