I thought RedNAND was still "unsafe" to use, as there have been people who bricked their Wii U, right? I did create a fw.img with Fix94's tutorial, but other than that, the instructions on how to do this hack are unclear, the instructions are confusing on the OP, are those CLI commands? Are those for Python, what are they?

I can't make any sense on how to use it

Code:
install process
haxchi can be very easily installed using iosuhax's wupclient. for example, if hachihachi is installed to the MLC, it suffices to do:

w.up("rom.zip", "/vol/storage_mlc01/usr/title/00050000/101A5600/content/0010/rom.zip")

of course, using wupclient to install haxchi permanently requires that redNAND be disabled, unless hachihachi is installed to USB, in which case it can be installed from redNAND using:

w.up("rom.zip", "/vol/storage_usb01/usr/title/00050000/101A5600/content/0010/rom.zip")

What are those? How do we use these? The instructions are not clear, thus concluding this is not for people like me to dive in to.


We need a clearer, less confusing tutorial for people who are lost.

*shrug* I can't make any sense out of the tutorial, too confusing. Oh well, guess I'd best wait.
Yes they are CLI commands, they are run from wupclient.py.
honestly the entire process is documented, but it's spread across multiple threads and github pages.

Huh. Which doesn't help to lessen the confusion, hopefully one day the tutorial will be consolidated. Probably for the best not for me to mess with this for a while. Wanted HBL without using kexploit.

I could write the tutorial for uploading a single file right now.
1. If you don't already have it, download wupclient.py from github. It's in the wupserver folder in the source download.
2. open wupclient.py with notepad, press ctrl+f to search, and search for "ip="
3. replace the ip address there with the IP of your wii u
4. open the loacation of wupclient.py, shift+right click the window, then click "open command window here"
5. type "python -i wupclient.py" into the command prompt that pops up
6. place rom.zip in the same location as wupclient.py
7. continue to use the commands listed in OP (the w.up command)
