Block Wii U System Updates (Without DNS Blocking!)

I thought it was the way to enter in Sysmenu thats why I said it didnt work for me. Anyway I tried without sig patcher and it still doesnt work
EDIT: Ok after some research I realized I have no Haxchi icon on my menu but I remember installing it in Brain Training. It even allows me to reinstall it even If I can´t find the game. Also no, I didnt install coldboot, the haxchi and the NDS Game both disappeared without reason

 

Its ok I was dumb enought to dont understand the H icon on Wii its both Haxchi and Homebrew Channel. Has been a while away from the scene but now I learnt to restart into cfw and could continue the guide. It worked too, so thanks for the guide and for trying to help me.

TL;DR for everyone as dumb as me: Go the h icon on the menu and wait for the bubble, hold the button that the bubble says is to enter cfw mode while Homebrew Launcher is booting (In my case I had to hold A while booting Homebrew Launcher) If it returns to the menu you can continue with the guide.

 

Hi I followed the method for blocking updates by deleting the update file in storage_mic/sys/ from page 1s guide. When trying to update it said my software is up to date (5.5.3) . It didn't come up with the error message "105-3012". Am I still alright to go online and update the games I have ? Minecraft updated ok and Cpt Toad. Am I been a bit over cauious ?

 

I asked the same thing when I did it. It's fine, it doesn't stop it from being able to check for updates, it stops it being able to download and install an update if there is one.

 

Thanks and i can still play online too. For example smash bros and mario kart ? FYI If people are having trouble still theres a few very useful vids on youtube to help. I had trouble with one of the files on "ftpiiu everywhere" which i had to replace.

Hello, thanks for tutotial, but thE picture with values is gone. What values I must put in file permissions?

 

Luckily, the picture was archived twice by waybackmachine :

I added that url on first post.
you should keep a copy and re-upload it (maybe even join the picture in the thread instead of external URL ?)

 

Simple enough, Thanks for the tutorial, this worked on first attempt.

 

1. PC: Right-click, and select "Create Directory". Once created, right-click again, and select "File Permissions".

I guess the name of that directory must be "update", right?

 

Those displayed permissions are bogus, ftpiiu can't read or set them.

 

I just did this blocking method (deleting the "update" folder) and that part went OK. I then went to check the change had "taken" by running the system update from the Wii U menu, and I just got "Your console is up-to-date" - I am on 5.5.4E system software - I didn't get the error code 105-3012 as detailed in the instructions. Is this OK?

 

I can't speak of people who already on the latest update, but I'm on 5.5.1. I get the failed to download message after deleting the folder, and using a dns to block updates. that sort of thing is normal. that's how it is just using the dns.

off topic: I've been testing my wiimotes after I discovered my princess peach, pink wiimote's gyroscope no longer seems to work. I'm now checking all of my wiimotes, so far everything works, but I have to charge their batteries for a bit. I have every character wiimote, skyward sword, tron, a blue one, and a white one with motion plus adapter.
