    Hacking Basic Do's and Do NOT's of vWii modding

    Well, earlier, it did for me. Sort of. But only if your IOS's are messed up. Particularly IOS58. The problem was that I had a messed up IOS58 that I mistakenly updated with the Wii version beforehand, and when the Wii U update came up later, I got Error Code 162-0002, not letting me update, no...

    Hacking Wii U Update 4.0.2

    Actually, I am happy to report that because of a thread about a semi-bricked vWii and a solution by dantheman, and because of Cyan's help in actually pointing this out, and providing a possible solution, everything is fixed, and i'm not screwed, anymore. Yes, vWii IOS58 got overwritten by the...

    Hacking ...and now my Wii U has been wrecked. (Update to an earlier situation, and a warning)

    YES. YES. YES. YES. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HAVE INSTALLED the VWII IOSS58 (after locating it somewhere), and FIXED EVERYTHING!!!! As soon as I installed that, the vWii works just fine, now. Also, I was able to successfully update the Firmware for the WII U, after fixing IOS58, as...

    Hacking ...and now my Wii U has been wrecked. (Update to an earlier situation, and a warning)

    oh wow. Weird. So I finally got this to work, and also got it to properly install the vWii IOS58 installer.... but I need a proper vWii IOS58-64-v6432.wad, to install. That seems to be the primary thing I need.

    Hacking ...and now my Wii U has been wrecked. (Update to an earlier situation, and a warning)

    Yeah, that seems to not be a problem anymore. getting discs to run, that is. However, my main concern now is getting my Wii U firmware update and eshop privileges back, without it erroring out with 162-0002 when I try to update. (Becuase there seems to be conflicting reports on whether or not...

    Hacking ...and now my Wii U has been wrecked. (Update to an earlier situation, and a warning)

    UPDATE: Sooo.... Using this method, I used Homebrew Launcher 1.0, using Smash Stack to get that going and get into Wii Mod (thankfully) which works. The weird part being that IOS 249 and 250? Gone. Which is strange because I never touched those and they're just totally not there, now. Even...

    Hacking ...and now my Wii U has been wrecked. (Update to an earlier situation, and a warning)

    Oh, this is weird. As a side note, I just went to the Homebrew Channel website at http://hbc.hackmii.com/ to just to have the Hackmii installer in general, and the site seems to be completely down. This is the first time in a long time i've noticed the site being dead. Isitdownrightnow.com also...

    Hacking ...and now my Wii U has been wrecked. (Update to an earlier situation, and a warning)

    huh. I did at one point try loading one thing like this, but it just told me that it couldn't run. (I never mentioned this previously after the one time I tried it, it ended up being another dead end to me). I renamed the file I was replacing the same as the Hackmii file and put it there in it's...

    Hacking ...and now my Wii U has been wrecked. (Update to an earlier situation, and a warning)

    "them" meaning 249 and 250. And yeah, Smashstack just crashes. Hangs there. Does nothing. It was only after looking up on google a thread about it, and why it hangs on the scam warning did I find out why it does that. I can tell the homebrew to use them? I just get a complete freeze on the...

    Hacking ...and now my Wii U has been wrecked. (Update to an earlier situation, and a warning)

    Yeah, I thought that was odd at first, too. I mean, I did nothing to 249 or 250. It SHOULD be exploiting those. That, I am baffled by. There's no reason it shouldn't find those. Yet, doesn't. I mean if I could verbally ARGUE with the vWii and ask it "Hey man, where's 249 and 250? What...

    Hacking Wii U Update 4.0.2

    The funny thing though, it didn't really "brick". As in, it still functioned reasonably well besides that. It still worked completely. Just.... no homebrew, anymore. And no ability to even reinstall the hackmii installer. No HBC, either. Other than that, it would load, play Wii titles, and VC...

    Hacking ...and now my Wii U has been wrecked. (Update to an earlier situation, and a warning)

    Because as I said in my other thread, and the beginning of this one, I no longer have ANY modding capabilities. Whatsoever. I basically screwed over any chance of this working even going back as far as step one. I can't load a WAD manager, because it was the IOS58 that was damaged to the point...

    Hacking Wii U Update 4.0.2

    Ya'know, that's actually helpful, thanks. I say this becuase me being how I am, I might have given up hope, like a week from now and just sold it on ebay as "For parts Or Not Working" or unloaded it somewhere or just dumped it. But that makes me realize maybe there is eventually some hope...

    Hacking ...and now my Wii U has been wrecked. (Update to an earlier situation, and a warning)

    Yup. My own stupid fault. Absolutely cannot debate that. I just initially assumed it would be EXACTLY like softmodding a regular Wii. I was wrong on that. I assumed that like a fool before reading about any possible difference between vWii and Wii. I just up and tried it immediately. It was my...

    Hacking Wii U Update 4.0.2

    Yes. Me. And it has completely and utterly wrecked my Wii U just about an hour ago. I updated, and earlier I posted about having (admittedly stupidly, before I knew what I was doing) replaced a patched IOS58 on the vWii, which deleted the HBC from my vWii, and made my vWii unexploitable now...

    Hacking Basic Do's and Do NOT's of vWii modding

    I should point out from personal experience this is not true, anymore. Well... kind of not true. You CAN damage your Wii U, not JUST your vWii. I have (stupidly) done this, and am currently very upset about it. Without thinking, one of the first thing I did, after HBC having issues...

    EDIT: (Thanks to everyone helping, the problem that I thought was a lost cause, HAS BEEN FIXED. Hoorah! Everything is back to normal and it's a happy day for me. If you find yourself ever having this problem, GBATEMP IS AWESOME. :P) Hey. You may remember me. I'm the guy that posted this about...

    Hacking Having a weird problem with the hackMii installer on the vWii of a Wii U.

    ...well shit. sigh. Was planning to homebrew up my new Wii U, and thus sell my old Wii off. Not this time. I suppose, unless anyone else has any ideas how to restore IOS58 without having the means to go in through HBC, in recognition of my lament, with seemingly no other recourse remaining...

    Hacking Having a weird problem with the hackMii installer on the vWii of a Wii U.

    Ohhh, that may have done it. Yeah, I almost forgot I basically replaced one IOS with the regular version that the regular Wii uses, thinking they were more or less the same between systems. Come to think of it, when it wouldn't load the ticket and install my forwarder until I switched it to...

    Hacking Having a weird problem with the hackMii installer on the vWii of a Wii U.

    Sooo.... It's been about a day since I had this problem, (has this ever happened to anyone else like this?), and i've tried all sorts of things, since then. Since I have no way to actually get into the vWii properly, since I keep getting a frozen screen on the scam warning of the HackMii...
