Homebrew How to unbrick wiiu without exchanging it?

[Cloudkid99]

Hi I installed both haxchi and Coldboot using a DS Game from Wiiu usb helper after that i restarted my wiiu and it got bricked. i forgot to backup NAND. is there a way that i could borrow a nand.bin file to restore it or something PLZ I Shouldn't have did this.

That's a rip bucko. It's dead, not coming back anytime soon. Unless your good with hard modding. Which I'm going to assume you are not.

No way to save it without backups. You shouldn't have used wii u helper. It's plastered on every guide that you need a legitimate DS title to do it

*sigh* i would call Nintendo to repair it but i homebrew it and i don't want to get in trouble.

How would you get in trouble? They'll just say too bad your fault.

Say WHAT????? You used a DS game downloaded from WiiU USB Helper to do the Haxchi install instead of purchasing a legit one from the eShop? As @TheCyberQuake said, this very important info is plastered on every guide known to man!

Feel sorry for you, suck up it, get another WiiU console.

if you have a nand backup you can hardmod it https://gbatemp.net/threads/guide-kaflukes-hardmod-cbhc-unbrick-guide.476725/

Would it be really hard to do?

 

[Cloudkid99]

Another question could i just ask nintendo for another wiiu console or if i get mine repair would Nintendo need to investigate it?

Nevermind didn't realize it was a PC tool for handling dumps made with a hard mod. so that should do.

Won't do any good as the device won't boot....

even hardmod?
can't he dump it, and run the remover then write back?
not insisting really, as per the post, otp is not needed, just the full slc dump

Nintendo will not repair it as you have ran homebrew on it for this very reason they would also not replace it.

lol how old are you 12? why would nintendo give you another wiiu?
they wont offer you another they will get it see what caused the brick and then send it to you bricked saying your modified the console and they have no obligation to fix it, this happened to many users.


srs how can to this day people still not read it clearly says on every guide ever made for CBHC

YOU NEED A LEGIT PURCHASED DS GAME.

It's a struggle to have the Wii U bricked for a mistake! I hope you find a way to recover the console!
