Hacking Hykem's 5.5 iosu Exploit

[davetheshrew]

broken as in cracked/hacked.

jailbreaking was the term used by geohot to explain his hacks for iphone and ps3. For wii u I guess the correct term to avoid confusion is 'kexploit' (kernel-exploit)

thanks @Marionumber1 for the correction, Im welsh, not english.

Off topic but i wonder what kinda luck these hackers would have with ios 9.1+ seems its not jailbroken yet.Anyways im a believer of this hykem now seems he knows his stuff not that my opinion matters.

Well lucky for you that does not seem to be as big of a deal as it was before. So learn form your mistake and either unlink any WiFi and set up TubeDNS (or whatever it is called) or do nothing and make the same mistake again

for me it would be very useful to run it on network backups because it is cheaper than an SD card which is immediately fully
the charging time would be low because the network now has 1 gigabyte internal

32GB SD cards are $9 now. You could fit every ROM from cart based consoles and tonnes of gamecube/playstation games... 64GB is pretty cheap too. And if you go with a physical HDD then space/price is even cheaper.

Remembers me at the 360 Backups times, where ppl were to stingy to buy proper Verbatim Duallayer blank discs. 2 Euro for one disc was too expensive, the ppl wanted to pay one Euro or less.
I mean... they dont want to pay 70 euro for a game....ok, and than they dont want to pay 2 Euro for a blank disk..everything has to be cheaper,cheaper, almost for free....thats mad

I loved them no lable white taio yudens

5.5.1 is wide open right now, Hykem's IOSU works on 5.5.1.
The kernel and IOSU exploits just aren't released yet.

Also, I meant the public stuff. I didn't make myself clear

People of foreign language have to program in English... that just seems so weird in my head lol... anyway, it's always spelled kernel no matter what language ;3

Thing is, earning $ is no easy task for the majority, so any savings are welcome. Maybe if they played less, would be earning more, who knows...

I have to figure that out. Fast !!

Nothing, but as you might know, he said he had all of January to work on his exploit, let him do his thing if he doesn't want to inform us about then okay, we will at least have it at the end of January.

Well it's either this or this IOSU spam shit all over the entire site.

So, is now better to stay on 5.5.0 or 5.5.1?

 

[mrbits]

Buy the Bundle you want, in 5.4 you will have access to all homebrew. 5.5 you have to wait at the end of the month.

Yeah. I've gone for the zelda one. It's a bit more expensive but I know I can get it on 5.3.2 right now then update later on once the new exploits are released and stable. Plus I like the design on the gamepad

May some ppl should search another hobby if they dont have the few bucks for the simplest equipment.

Lol, that's going into my signature... XD

I was expecting a reply like this.... Ok, thanks for your opinion , I was just having doubt because as far as I know the only thing changed is the browser, but you're right, just better to not risk

So, now that we have the keys, what are we exactly able to do with them... Sorry if i'm repeating someone else.

Well, you can decrypt various wii u images to find your own exploit, but I don't think it's so easy.

The minimum age for most messageboards, this one included, is 13 years old - you expect 13 year olds to quit gaming as a hobby because they can't afford certain equipment for it? "They can get it for their birthday" etc, well fair enough, but if they can have it for free instead, and ask for other things a 13 year old would ask for (I've got two boys around this age so can tell you plenty there) then surely the free option is better?

 

[davetheshrew]

Actually @SonyUSA most things that end 'el' in english are 'al' in welsh, its just one of those things. A lot of words sound similar, but spelt different to accommodate the accent. Sometimes when typing fast I confuse them.

I'm not going to condemn or play the moral high ground against anyone when it comes to piracy as I don't have a clean past when it comes to that either.

But I will say if you are that hard up that you can't afford any games for it, you might have considered sticking with PC or another form of playing games that didn't require a significant hardware investment to start. Also there is nothing keeping you from playing Wii mode and earlier games which has some all time classics and great stuff to pick from.
