Is it the correct forwarder channel? What port is the thumb drive connected to (assuming Wii U is laying horizontally)? (upper back, lower back, etc.)

I believe so, I did it based on this link (https://code.google.com/p/usbloader-gui/wiki/Installation). I installed this file - UNEO_Forwarder_4_0_AHBPROT.wad
From what I recall, in order for me to install this .wad I had to change my running ios from 58 to 236. The .wad installed fine after that.

The first time when I plugged it in and when it initially loaded on fine on the first try it was on the upper port (when the wii u is laying down horizontally). I tried the lower port as well, and it still stalls on the loading screen when loaded through hbc channel instead of the forwarder.

Try this one. I think you're using the non-vWii forwarder

d2x vWii currently only supports the upper back port

Ok, installed the .wad you recommended and loaded the forwarder... though it didn't stall as long it says after trying to initialize HDD in the load up screen. But after about 20 secs it just says "USB device not found". It's plugged in the upper back port.

In GX's settings, try changing the port that the USB loads on from "0" to "1" (or vice versa) and try again

I haven't changed the GX settings yet, but I tried something different this time after installing the .wad you recommended. I had my USB thumb drive plugged into the upper port of the Wii U before I powered on the system. Seems to have loaded up gx fine this time around and recognized the device. The previous time I plugged the thumb drive when the system was already on. Not sure the difference there, but it seems to have temporarily worked.

Is the upper port "0" or "1"?

I BELIEVE it's "0", but GX has a funny way of recognizing it. I know I had to change it to "1". (That or I'm delusional and it actually is port 1)

Cyan · Mar 3, 2015

There's no "funny" way to use a port number.
on WiiU, port0 is at the top
on wii, port0 is at the bottom

If you change it to 1, you need d2x v10-alt installed, or else only port0 will work.
Setting "1" while using v10 (non alt) will have no effect.

antigen:
Forwarder provided in the "all in one package" was released before WiiU was released.
For WiiU, there is a special forwarder, which was given to you above so now it's fine

Some users have issue with HDD detection on WiiU
Be sure to use a Y-cable to get enough power! but even with Y-cable, sometime it doesn't detect the HDD.
I don't know why, I'm working on it.

I just used Smash Stack on my Wii U, and although the installation seemed to go ok I think something went wrong.
After I install it, it started the HBC normally but after the bubble animation (it froze twice while it was beginning) the screen were showing me the options: Back, Shutdown, About and something else (not sure if it was those exactly words, but it was something like that).
Then I closed it, tried to put some apps on my SD card and when I started the HBC again the apps were there, but the every once in a while that screen showing those 4 options would pop out of nowhere (I haven't used any app yet) again.
And I think I should also mention that while that screen is being shown it keeps blinking (or flashing, not sure about the exact words) all the time. Have I missed something? I followed the guide from the tutorials section here.

That is the screen that comes up when you press the home button. Are you accidentally pressing it yourself? Is there another Wii Remote in the room that has something sitting on the home button or something like that??

I don't think so.
And I think that if it was the case the problem would already be happening while I was doing the process of the instalation.
My Wii remote is new, I bought it today but it really seemed to be working fine.
I formated my sd as FAT 32, might this be the problem?

Posted twice, sorry.

Dat double post though

FAT32 should be fine. I honestly don't know what could be wrong, other than the Homebrew Channel possibly installing incorrectly... That said, looking at the trend of this thread, Cyan will most likely hop in here in a little bit and tell you exactly what's wrong and how to fix it, in typical pro fashion

Ok, thanks for the help anyway. I need to go to bed here, but I'll completely reinstall it and try any other suggestion tomorrow after work.

Nym5 · Mar 6, 2015

I found someone explaining better what I meant.
(I'm not sure if I can post link for external forums here so I'll post the message)

"Well, im new to homebrewing and i recently Used Smash stack To Put the Homebrew channel On My US Wii (4.3U). When i start up homebrew channel everything opens fine, But When It opens there is just bubbles Floating up And nothing happens... There is a Gecko (For SDgecko, I know) And A Wifi Signal Thing next to it. The Wifi Signal Blinks A few times then Goes solid... By the way, i already updated it to 0.8 Or whatever the current version Is. PLEASE HELP."

This is almost what happens to me. But with me the screen also shows what TotalInsanity4 said to be what appear when I press the home button. Also there is a message on the upper corner of the screen saying "Unable to initialize network". My Wii U was connected to internet at that time, but even if it wasn't none of the tutorials that I've seen says that it must be connected to the internet to do the process. Or they do?
And also, different from him that screen only appears immediately after I install the HBC and then, when I restart it with apps on my SD card, they do appear on the main screen but after a few seconds this screen appears again.
I might try to reinstall it once I'm at home with other SD card to see if it might've been just a problem of bad installation.

The site hosting Multi Mod Manager is dead, the host has apparently shut down. This link should work (version 13.4).

I added a partion on a 1TB External HDD (3.0) that I have, I formated it, and then I did all the process, and when I load it with the COnfigurable USB Loader, the screen gets stuck on cfg, I tried with a 8GB Flash Drive and it worked. TotalInsanity4 recommended me to set the partion as primary, but both my partions and primary, and I don't know how to set the other one as logical drive. Also, I'm planning on buying a 128GB (2.0) Flash Drive for 10 dollars to install wii games, should I? (I rather use the HDD in case it's possible, without deleting my current information on the other partion, which is the one I think it's loading, but I'm not sure)

Totorofan · Apr 19, 2015

Okay so im having trouble with the aspect ratio.

I tried going workaround for with the different color screens but every time i try to load it fails. My Wii U is set to Widescreen and is greyed out so i can't change it i want to anyways. How do i fix this?

Alexis77 · Apr 24, 2015

I have installed homebrew channel and eventually use wii u on 4.0.3 firmware, without any wireless connection in order to prevent updates.
I want an advice if i can update safely my wii u in newest firmware. What is your recommendation?
Is better to avoid internet connection staying on 4.0.3?
Thanks.

Has to be SD Card only? why can't it be SDHC? I literally have a lot of SDHC and and small SDHC cards that can fit in a adapter.

don't want to have to buy a normal sd card... =/

Cyan · May 16, 2015

Some hacks and homebrew have only SD card functions and can't communicate with SDHC.
Some others are working fine with them, so you could try SDHC but it's not sure it will work.
for better compatibility, buy a 1 or 2GB SD card, it will not be HC. (4GB non HC still exists?)

Hello, pretty new to this. I have been working to get my vWii U modded and am running into some trouble. I completed all steps without a hitch and now it's time to get a channel forwarder to that I can actually rip games to the HDD. When I go into Homebrew, then MMM I go to WAD manager and no matter which channel forwarder I try to install they always fail. I've tried 5 different ones to be sure it wasn't any kind of fluke. Any suggestions on where to start or what info I need to give you? MMM is 13.4 FYI,
