Hacking How exactly do I inject saved data to my Wii U using ftpiiu everywhere?

[Kate0012]

I'm on Haxchi CFW and have ftpiiu everywhere v0.4u2. The game I tested on was Bayonetta 2 disc version. Both game & console's region are US.

Here is what I did. I got the save0000.sav, save0001.sav and savesystem.sav files (straight copy from another Wii U using ftpiiu everywhere) and put them on my PC, and connected to my Wii U. I copied and replaced my saved data in /<root>/storage_mlc/usr/save/00050000/10172600/user/80000001.

Then I quit ftpiiu everywhere and tried to launch the game, the game gave me an error "150-3032", saying something like "there is a disc inserted. Take it out and restart your console and try again later".

I restarted my console and this time the game launched, however I got my old saved data back, and was able to load and continue from there.

I thought the files in the folder 80000001 are the only ones that matter, because that's what everyone uploaded in that save data share thread.

Okay here is something useful, https://gbatemp.net/threads/save-injecting-via-ftp.462223/

The only thing I did differently was instead of replacing the saved data, I deleted the old saves first, and then moved the files from my PC to the Wii U.

This 2nd time I re-exacted the files I wanted, and then tried replacing and it worked fine (I still don't understand how this would make a difference. How things work here, is it that strict??).

Another thing I can think of is b/c originally I only had saved data in slot 1, but the files I wanted to inject had saves in 2 slots like I mentioned earlier. This time I didn't want to see any error msg again so I created a dummy save in slot 2 and did the injection.

It's also possibly that first time my saved files were corrupted during the transfer, but could my luck be THAT bad?
