Tutorial [Guide] Community noob guide to Wii U hacking

[godreborn]

you'll have to dump the otp.bin and seeprom.bin with the nand dumping tool. they're only 1KB apiece. anyway, I got an error at some point:

I'm not sure if it's from it using the wrong dumping tool for rednand or what, but I'm going to try it with one of my actual full nand dumps. I thought mlc was correct though.

nope, it failed on the same file with a normal nand dump. maybe it's a bug with the extractor.

 

[christianacqua]

oh, isn't there any other tool that allows you to decrypt the .img file?

 

[godreborn]

that's what that tool does, but I tested on the desktop, cmd prompt as admin, and even with the 32bit version, and all fail on that same file.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

btw, you only need the otp.bin for this. I think you need the seeprom if it's a usb device, which wfs extract is supposed to be able to extract as well, but this first test doesn't look good for how well it works. maybe an older version won't have this problem?

 

[Big-G]

It works because it is the same.

Hello,

The DNS for the Wii U are:

Primary DNS: 168.235.092.108
Secondary DNS: 081.004.127.020

shouldn't matter the region. if the dns goes down, btw, you won't be able to connect to the internet I believe, so don't worry about something like that happening.

 

[christianacqua]

Ok, ty

 

[christianacqua]

btw i have a question, what is syshax.xml, what does it do?

 

[godreborn]

not sure. I've only heard of system.xml (cbhc) and sys_prod.xml (region hax).

 

[christianacqua]

uhm, I just went to storage_slc / sys / config and found a file that wasn't there before installing CBHC

 

[godreborn]

I don't know. I never checked if there were any additional files with cbhc. there should be a config file for normal haxchi, and that goes in the game's folder from what I remember.

[christianacqua]

so what should this file do?

 

[godreborn]

I don't know. I looked at the file. I don't know what it does.

 

[christianacqua]

Ok

 

[godreborn]

I would just leave it. I have the same file. I didn't make a backup from before I installed cbhc to compare it with.

 

[christianacqua]

ok, i found out what it is for, the syshax.xml would be a backup of system.xml which is needed to uninstall CBHC

 

[godreborn]

I see. that must be what cbhcremover does then.
