Hacking Accidentaly Updated my Wii U :( !

[bartoruiz]

so ive been blocking all the URL with my router D-Link N750
ive block the 6 URL to nintendo server since like Loadiine was announced
on my ping test today only 1 out of the 6 url has successfully been blocked which is (nus.c.shop.nintendowifi.net)
the others was not blocked. what did i do wrong.
so fortunate my console was not updated when im using it. (tq smea tubehax)

The "URL blocking" stuff in your router blocks by keywords inspecting your HTTP traffic (aka Web surfing). In more technical words: you are only blocking TCP port 80, other TCP ports (65534) and protocols (ICMP, UDP) are still available to the WiiU. ping uses ICMP, so it's a pointless test.

The best way to test is to open those URLS in the WiiU Browser and they should keep loading and time-out atfer a few secs.

Non blocked WiiUs will instanly display a "404 Not found" default error page, which is still an error from Nintendo servers and means you can "talk" to them and update at some point.

I'm pretty sure dd-wrt or tomato firmwares support your router. You should consider using those firmware's instead of the default one from the manufacturer. Much better options.

wow, so I guess it is time to use tubehax instead opendns.

ok, I got it, so I asume you used tubehax, then how your wii U got updated?

Using since the update...

Elaborate please?

Bartoruiz has already provided some guidance on his post. Some consumer grade routers with default firmware have URL filters that only block requests to webpages. The update servers are not webpages. Even if the URL filter is on, the Wii U may still update. Custom firmware, such as Tomato or DD-WRT offer more robust access restrictions, such as blocking all protocols and all ports to a specific address, which will block updates. Please provide some caution for those utilizing URL blocking in your guide.

But how do you transfer all your stuff? Can only do that when up to date. I have hundreds of dollars in purchases on mine.

I didn't have any bought games on my Wii U, just copied my savedata to an usb stick

My new Wii U has already arrived and it has 5.1.2E

Don't they encrypt the USB sticks too? So you can't even transfer save games that way.

You're right, doesn't work, but i didn't have any really important saves
