Did it have CBHC installed? Cause that's what happens when you reset a CBHC hacked Wii U:

- Don’t format the system while CBHC is installed!
- Don’t delete the user account that bought the DS Virtual Console game!
- Don’t re-install the same game using WUP Installer or from the eShop!
- Don’t install Haxchi over CBHC! (You will not brick, but it will cause a boot-loop! Hold A when booting to access the Homebrew Launcher and uninstall CBHC.)
- Don’t uninstall the DS Virtual Console game without properly uninstalling CBHC first!
- Don’t move the DS Virtual Console game to a USB drive!

Sadly there's nothing you could do to fix this, esp. as I don't think you have a NAND backup.

You were faster than me. Wanted to write something similar.

*Sigh* And I seriously hoped thanks to Tiramisu this problem would be a thing of the past. No idea how many CBHC Wii U will bite the dust because of "Format System Memory" in the future (and I doubt many people will go through the complex process of hardmodding for a restore attempt).

another update: it does actually have a nand backup :slc.bin, slccmpt.bin, seeprom.bin, otp.bin

 

[godreborn]

the otp.bin is the most important one.

Hired someone to try to repair it. Worked for a few seconds and popped put the mighty 160-1710.
