Thank to everyone for their advice of which direction to take for my question.
I've decided to just continue using the CFW the same way I am doing now.
I'm sorry if I've wasted anyone's time with this silly post. There are also so many people saying so many different things, I dunno what to really do.
But thank you all for helping. It's much appreciated.
Just follow wiiubru.com/guide

I don't but that's what he wants to do and I respect his choices. aka I don't feel like forcefeeding him the same guide.
I know but it is so much more simple to use cbhc with haxchi or mocha plus it has more features
 
I'd just rather use an outdated method that's safer, and that I like, rather that using a method that is risky and will stress me out.
Modifying system.xml is actually pretty dangerous, especially when you made a typo and rebooted.
But you can just use Mocha CFW, you know? Browserhax then Mocha CFW, no need for fw.img and redNAND.
 
Do you all fucking mind? I know the newer methods are better, but jesus, respect his wants. @coon-strudel tell me if you need any help with what you're trying to do.
 
But how would I coldboot into those?
You can shoot yourself in the leg and change boot destination in system.xml to redirect request to SDCard or you can buy a Haxchi compatible DS VC game which you can coldboot later.

It's okay, no need to cuss. The only non-haxchi coldboot method is by modifying system.xml itself which can lead to easy brick if one typo is present. [Like instead of mocha you typed mcha.elf]
 
u can boot into mocha with cbhc. just make sure the config file is okay and not setup to start redNAND or something. I had that problem originally. u'll get infinite loading if it's not set up properly.

You redirect to a title, not a elf.

Here's a more comprehensive guide @coon-strudel
Installing Haxchi :
Requirements :
  • redNAND setup, follow this to set it up.
  • All of the requirements that are needed for redNAND setup.
  • Some money, around 10$.
Installing Haxchi
  • Purchase a compatible DS VC game off of the eShop, here are some compatible games. MAKE SURE IT'S INSTALLED TO NAND, DO NOT LEAVE IT ON USB.
  • Set up haxchi by following the guide here, it's under Installation.

Setting up coldboothax :
Editing system.xml a.k.a installing coldboothax
  • Boot up iosuhax for sysNAND, compile this.
  • Place the fw.img you receive from compiling iosuhax on your sd card.
  • Boot up the homebrew launcher.
  • Run cfwbooter.
  • You should have a wupclient folder where you compiled iosuhax, open it and edit wupclient.py and add your IP address.
  • Open a command prompt window in the folder where you have wupclient.py and run "python -i wupclient.py"
  • Run "w.dl("/vol/system_slc/config/system.xml")" without the first and last quotation marks
  • Open system.xml in a text editor like Notepad++ and edit the default_title_id, set it to the title id of your haxchi'd game.
  • Save and run "w.up("system.xml", "/vol/system/config/system.xml")" without the first and last quotation marks.
  • Reboot your Wii U, pray, glhf.

So, you can redirect it to the web browser, which will kick you into HBL automatically.
Well, not really so fast and browserhax freezes console sometimes...
Do you know any other ways of getting into HBL fast?

Regular haxchi, the gamepad boot menu, and coldboot. Or take advantage of the boot1 exploit.
