Hacking How to restore a bricked nand (Hard Mod)?

[TheTechGenius]

I didn't brick my WiiU console, but I still would like to read everything there is about restoring a wiiu nand from a brick with a hard mod. So if I do brick my WiiU, I know how to do it.

I've searched every where for a tutorial on how to install the hard mod to the nand on the motherboard, but I cannot find anything.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

You will need dedicated hardware for each - for MLC, it's a standard SD card reader (although it may be picky on certain models: look at the widely available documentation on 3DS hardmods, as the MLC -an eMMC- operates the same way)

Note that you will need a full SLC backup including error correction data (the tools to dump this have existed for barely 2 months; a rednand/rednand backup doesn't qualify)

Hi Ryccardo,

I try to unbrick my WIIU (cbhc + sys format, I read a lot but so quick) with Teensy Hardmode but just with an SLC backup.
Actually, it stay on WIIU logo. Are you sure I need also to restore the MLC dump too?
Btw, could you give me a bit more information about why a rednand backup + Nand Tool can't do the job?

It should work if you regenerate the ECC blocks, but I don't have personal experience...

Coldboothax (selecting a different autoboot application) is done by editing system.xml somewhere in SLC, so it's a little weird it wasn't fixed; but if you have a matched MLC backup, it would be a good idea to restore it, sure!
