Hacking Official Haxchi v2.5u2 - a persistent WiiU hack

[Lacius]

This may have already been asked but does haxchi work on wii u version 5.5.2? Because I really want the DLC for the legend of zelda breath of the wild, but it requires the latest version of sfw from the wii u, I want to know if updating will break my hack. I have already installed haxchi on 5.5.1, i know that the new update is supposed to stop people installing haxchi, but this is not an issue for me as it is not supposed to stop people who have already installed it from using it.

Use NNU Patcher to use the eShop without updating. Updating to 5.5.2 is not recommended. If something were to go wrong with Haxchi in the future (e.g. it gets deleted), you would have no other way to access homebrew.

If you haven't already done so, use the proper DNS settings to block updates. You can also follow this guide to block updates by deleting the updates folder from the NAND.

Question: I have two Wii Us and it seems that on my original one, when I run Haxchi signatures are patched by default, but on my new one, I have to launch Mocha and then re-launch Haxchi for signatures to be patched. What may I be missing here?

Hi there, i just managed to install haxchii over kawashimas on a friend wii u that updated accidently to 5.5.2 (https://gbatemp.net/threads/webhack-on-5-5-2.480938/)
but the icon is still the original kawashimas icon. i remember when i installed haxchii on my wii u months ago (i am on 5.5.1) the original icon was replaced for the haxchii icon.
What can i do to get that haxchii logo to be shown instead of kawashimas ?
also i checked my sd card and on mine there is a haxchii folder on the root. this one is not present on the sd card of my friends wii u.
any advice or help is really appreciated

either reinstall haxchi, without forgetting to put the /haxchi/ folder on the root of your SD card. (if you get haxchi only from AppStore you don't get that folder, which also contains the config.txt to setup Button Combo)
or, check the tga file you want to use (with tga verify), and replace them with ftpiiu everywhere.
the easiest is to reinstall haxchi from the homebrew launcher. Do not delete the previous one, just reinstall over it.

yeah that was my fault, forgot to copy the folder in the root...just copied the haxchi folder under apps to my friends sd card. reinstalled correctly and now it shows correct icon thanks very much

Hello all! Does Fix94 add new game requests? My kids bought picross-3d (Wii U DS) instead of Brainage . Is there a way to get this added to the workable titles instead of forking out another 8 CAD for Brainage?

Will this work if I have the original wii dvd?

Hi.

Succeed in installing Haxchi but not in changing config.txt

I changed to this :

a=fw.img
b=wiiu/apps/homebrew_launcher/homebrew_launcher.elf
default=sysmenu

But it still goes to HBL on default instead of returning to sysmenu

Any idea ?

thx !

1. It would be pretty pointless to run HBL without an SD card, since the homebrew applications are stored on the SD card.
2. There's virtually no risk of bricking your Wii U with Haxchi. CBHC is the one that carries a risk of bricking.
3. Using Haxchi with a game like Brain Age is what you're looking for, yes.
4. You have to install Brain Age from the eShop. It has to be a legitimately purchased copy. Otherwise, Haxchi cannot run without already running some kind CFW, which would make Haxchi pointless.
5. Yes, you can install Haxchi on 5.5.2. However, if you are on 5.5.1, it is recommended that you not update because there's no reason to update. Updating to 5.5.2 will just cause your internet browser exploit to become less reliable. Regardless of which version you're on, it's recommended that you setup the proper DNS settings to block future updates. You should also delete the update folder on your NAND to block updates.

1. I think brain age was free for some people in Europe. it was a promotion. I can't recall how it was done though. your only other alternative is to use one of those eshop cards, but you'll be paying more for the game if that's the only reason for its purchase. the game is usually around $7 (USA).

2. there's not much to say here. simply delete the update folder in storage_mlc/sys . that's all there is to it.

1. Brain Age used to be free in some places, but that's not the case anymore. If you didn't get it during that time and can't redownload it for free, then you have to pay for it. There's no other way to install Haxchi.

Out of curiosity, what do you plan on using Haxchi for? Depending on what you want, you might not even need it. Also, are you on 5.5.2, or are you on something else?

2. Follow these steps:

• Add the following DNS settings to block future updates

For each of your connections (and all future connections), do the following

• Select the connection
• Select “Change Settings”
• Move to the second list and choose “DNS”
• Set the DNS to “Don’t Auto-Obtain”
• Set the DNS server IPs to the following servers
• 168.235.092.108
• 081.004.127.020
• Select “Confirm”, then press (B) to save
• These servers will block your SysNAND from being updated

• Use this guide to block updates by deleting a folder on your NAND: https://gbatemp.net/threads/block-wii-u-system-updates-without-dns-blocking.477944/

Hi, just wondering. In my old times using CFW from HBL-Webbrowser, I installed Brain age and Big Brain academy for a later use (both USA, signed patched). But now I need one DS game to buy and use Haxchi. I don't understand much of titles keys conflicts... what do you recommend? Delete one of them and buy the legal one or select other (unfortunately the rest are even better)?
Also checking haxchi gifthub web I saw, the same game in different regions, so I come up with installing a legal US eshop DS game for Haxchi and after that, can I install the same DS game from other region (EUR) for playing?

My understanding is Brain Age is the cheapest game (there might be some others that are tied with it Big Brain Academy is just as cheap). If I were you, I would delete Brain Age using the Data Management settings, and I would try downloading the game from the eShop. If the game boots without any CFW, then that means Haxchi will work with it. If the game cannot run without CFW, then it means we need to fiddle with your tickets to get it working.

Which system version are you running?

First, you should follow these steps to prevent any future updates:

• Add the following DNS settings to block future updates:

For each of your connections (and all future connections), do the following

• Select the connection
• Select “Change Settings”
• Move to the second list and choose “DNS”
• Set the DNS to “Don’t Auto-Obtain”
• Set the DNS server IPs to the following servers
• 168.235.092.108
• 081.004.127.020
• Select “Confirm”, then press (B) to save
• These servers will block your SysNAND from being updated

• Use this guide to block updates by deleting the update folder on your NAND: https://gbatemp.net/threads/block-wii-u-system-updates-without-dns-blocking.477944/

After blocking updates (preferably using both methods), you should follow these steps to install Haxchi:

1. Delete Brain Age using the Data Management settings.
2. Buy Brain Age in the eShop and install it (you might need to run nnupatcher to open the eShop after blocking updates).
3. Reboot your Wii U.
4. Run Brain Age without CFW. If it boots, install Haxchi using the browser.
