Hacking Help ! Bootloop after installing CBHC

[rich6619]

Hey guys,

So I decided to install CBHC. I had already had HaxChi setup using these two guides:





I downloaded Haxchi v2.3u1 and CBHC v1.4 and added them to my sd card to install. First I installed Haxchi over my existing, rebooted, then installed CBHC everything seemed fine until I rebooted and I get the initial WII screen then wii menu screen (not the actual menu but the prompt) , IOSUHAX screen and then it just loops from wii menu screen to Iosuhax over and over.

Does anyone know whats going on here ?

Any help would be much appreciated !

First don't use video guides. They are always outdated.
Second set cbhc to autoboot "System Menu" by pressing home button while it says autobooting.

I'm not getting autobooting displaying on the screen though. Just goes right to "Wii Menu" then "IOSUHAX" and loops.

Game on sys or USB?

Its not on USB. Otherwise his wii u would have an error code on boot

That means you installed an old and different coldboothax. It can be fixed by compiling fw.img with coldboot.

Weird because I can't remember installing the game to usb and I had no usb plugged in when I installed CBHC

So you should be booting an config menu if that was what you used.

 

[FIX94]

there is a very slim chance that running the haxchi/cbhc installer wont actually overwrite the rom.zip even though I try everything to ensure it does, so it probably didnt even install the cbhc specific rom but you are still on your old haxchi rom so I hope in your haxchi config.txt you had a button you can hold to get into the homebrew launcher, from there just re-run the cbhc installer and let it install again and hope it actually does so this time.

Nope, nothing unfortunately as you can see in the video. Not sure whats going on.
Can I still try the "compiling fw.img with coldboot" ?

Yes that should fix it.

Thanks Fix94 I just swapped the config to go into Hombrew launcher by pressing "a".

Thanks as well xtheman166

So now that I am in the hombrew launcher should I try to install again with the same method ?

just click on CBHC again and click install on the same game.

Ok installed again and worked perfect. I set autoboot system menu and boot into system menu with no issue. Thank you all for the help ! Not sure what caused this.

Am I able to remove the fw.img file I have on the root of my sd card now ?

I'm not sure why it happens to some people either, I did install it so many times by now I'm impressed I did not experience this issue myself yet. Yea you can now remove that fw.img and in fact the sd is not required to boot since it is all running internally now.

Usually it fails overwriting when you have USB plugged (and it freezes)
