This weekend I decided to take on the project of hacking my wii u, specifically the vwii. Mostly just as something to do, I enjoy experimenting with software, tinkering and things like that. Admittedly I have almost no experience and little knowledge in this area and clearly that came back to bite me. But also, apparently I can't read very well because I went ahead with all of this without doing any kind of backup despite what all the guides were telling me-- too cocky I am. You never think it'll happen to you, until it does.
Anyway, I had everything up and running but instead of being satisfied with what I had accomplished I stupidly updated IOS80 with the wii WAD and not the vwii one and now I'm bricked, black screen for me. I've spent most of the past two days reading these forums and others from top to bottom but none of the solutions have seemed to work, mostly I imagine because of my lack of NAND backup. I've tried booting directly into the vwii homebrew through wii u hbl2htc method but that didn't work. In the absence of finding a friend who has a backup, am I out of luck? Would that even work anyway? I know there are a few (that may be an understatement) threads about this already but this is my last resort in the hopes that maybe someone can provide some new information or solution for me to try. Thanks!
