Hacking Hykem's 5.5 iosu Exploit

[oumoumad]

I hope 5.4 is the priority behind 5.5. I gave up on waiting for a 5.4 kernel exploit so this is probably as good as it'll get.

In fact the kernel exploit for 5.4.0 is already public (the same one that is used on 5.3.2 isn't patched on 5.4.0) the only thing you needed to trigger it was the browser exploit.

Sorry for being "that guy", but would it be alright to update my 5.4.0 to 5.5.0 or do you guys recommend I keep 5.4.0 for kernel/other reasons?

Stay in earlier firmware is always wiser, yes 5.5.0 might be favorable someday but at least then you'd still have the possibility to update to it using a game disk. But going back is impossible.

So the average person who knows what their doing can do it? Or does it need to be ported?

IF THIS HAPPENS I AM BUYING A NEW WII U JUST FOR THIS! MERRY FUCKING CHRISTMAS

 

[Bimmel]

Impressive. That would be awesome.

But let's not put him under pressure. Take your time Hykem.

Great news!
My Wii U is definitively ready (still on 5.3.2 though).
I hope he meant Christmas 2015 when he said a Christmas surprise.

 

[yuyuyup]

Should be here in time for Christmas!

Much thanks for continued updates

This is promising. Just for the record, I've hidden away my Wii U for the time being until it's released and I can play backups.

 

[boomario]

Just for curiosity but does Wii U have multiple IOSU slots like wii or it operates completely different?

It could be next year christmas, SOON™

Not sure what you're referring to.

 

[stsaerox]

Even if it's buried. I believe the author of the exploit should be the one posting a thread about his own exploit.

He can't.... He is busy he is trying to give us a Christmas Surprise

loadiine for 5.5.0 possible?

 

[4gionz]

I'm just curious but would an iosu exploit allow us to install custom channels? Like a homebrew channel? Or even just a loadiine channel? Right now as is it playing backups is "slightly" convoluted so if this exploit opens up emunand with channel installation then I will be purchasing a wii u ASAP

Quick question, does turning off standby functions disable auto-updates?

You can't disable auto-updates, something I learned after a long while of wondering the same thing myself
But standby is definitely dangerous as it can download the updates while in standby mode. You can turn it off, but auto updates will still occur while the system is on and it can't be avoided unless you use Tubehax DNS which blocks it from ever downloading. Tubehax DNS works 100%, at least for me and a ton of others!
Basically disabling Standby function would disable auto updates while the system is off. But while the system is on, Tubehax DNS is the only way to avoid auto updates. So then you'll be safe no matter what.
I personally MAC filter my Wii U after I enter the kernal exploit, just for a peace of mind while playing games.

loadiine for 5.5.0 possible?

Lol, yes once the exploits for 5.5.0 are released and ported . so stay tuned, by the end of this month you might have your loadiin ready on your wii u with even new surprises

are you kidding you retard ?
cant you read?cant you use the search button?

Wouldn't that be because there was no way of launching/running it on 5.5, and now an exploit is being made possible, which loading would need? I'm not even in the wiiu scene and I understood his reasoning, retard.

Dimok is preparing Loadiin to be a "homebrew channel" for us in the future, I think it could be possible with the iosu exploit to install such channel, however I'm not sure if it can be permanent, I think you'll always need to launch the exploit like in 3Ds each time you turn off the Wii U.
