Hacking Official CBHC v1.6 - ColdBoot HaxChi CFW

[::Phoenix::]

The point is that Haxchi (and not CBHC) does not have any way of recovering your wii u if you set up a wrong config.txt. So, coldbooting Haxchi (and not CBHC) is more risky. Any way, CBHC is able to run Mocha, which contains everything is inside the elf you are trying to coldboot.

Thnx!

Will this make it work?

Build from source
Can u put o quickly guide and what tools i need och convert to elf if needed.

Do you mean Haxchi 2.3u1? And with isohax.elf it will be coldbooted?

Actually I believe you could coldboot that .elf file. While it's true that the options are preset it does have the option to boot two different .elf files. It is setup to boot either Mocha CFW or Homebrew Launcher. If you put that sigpatcher .elf in the path that it expects to find Mocha or Homebrew Launcher (and rename the .elf appropriately) I see no reason why it wouldn't work. Try it.

Loadiine y mod never worked with the channel version of Homebrew launcher because it was never updated to work with the HBL channel.
I compiled my own version with a fix that works. There is a link HERE. if anyone wants it.

working flawlessly from the chanel version, thanks a lot

Guys, is it normal to get this corrupted title in redNand after installing the ds vc title and haxchi into sysnand? It also can't be deleted or launched.

it's installed in sysNAND or to USB?
maybe it installed to USB and redNAND is missing the ticket (which is on sysNAND)

it's installed to sysNAND, it even appears without the usb drive connected so there's definitely nothing corrupted in the usb drive.

the title id list is cached so if you boot from sysnand to rednand it still tries to display titles that arent even in rednand so thats normal.

I have gotten that a few times. It is caused from my experience a corrupt tga image.

ah, I didn't know it was normal. thanks

Thanks man, it was driving me nuts not being able to figure what that was!

Without knowing the exact details who can say exactly why he bricked? As I said above maybe his NAND just took a shit during the install process or sometime before. There was (still is I suppose) a problem where consoles with defective NANDs were getting corrupted during write operations. Super Smash Bros was heavily blamed but really it was just what a lot of people were playing at the time. Maybe he screwed up. Maybe there is a chance that it can brick when something just "goes wrong" and the user is not to blame (I kinda doubt that though). I think you'll be fine. If you want to be extra paranoid you can make a NAND and OTP backup. Then you could unbrick with a hardmod. It's not like it's an $8,000 smart TV. Fuck it, just do it.

Actually, there is a hardware defect brick. It's rare, but it happens.

That's what I was referring to. My understanding is it's the fault of a defective NAND. Eventually a write operation will create a corrupted file or files. When this happens it displays the same error that the dude who thought he bricked by moving CBHC into a folder reported. Something something "System memory is corrupted." At least that's what I understand based on what people who know a lot more about the Wii U have said.

FIX94, can you make some changes in official release, i made them for my own use, but i think many people will like this...

 

[pietempgba]

I mean you can put your source files on github

@FIX94 I don't know if this is a bug with CBHC, a certain WiiU game or Dimok's Homebrew Channel 2.1.

I just installed CBHC 1.2 on my PAL console, successfully tonight and enabled the auto-boot to system menu. Everything seems to work fine for my USB installed titles inc, DLC and VC thanks to the signature patching.

However, I have found an issue with one particular title so far (Hyrule Warriors with the latest update patch and DLC) Basically, what happens is when I load the HBC and exit back to the main menu, selecting this title causes it to crash requiring a hard reset 100% of the time.

But, if I don't load the HBC at all after CBHC has booted to the main menu and I select same game again, it works fine, yet if I load the HBC and exit, the crash will happen again.

So far, I have tested Mario Kart 8, Smash Bros and Xenoblade, which all have their latest updates and DLC applied and those are fine after using the HBC after boot, so I find it weird that Hyrule Warriors crashes.
