Hacking Hykem's 5.5 iosu Exploit

11 and a half hours to go before gbatemp goes nuclear.

SDK is released tho, good start.

I hope that a new fw comes soon so I can update and kill my curiosity.

I have a feeling this is Smea. Anyway I wasn't involved in any of the argument against Smea, I'm just saying that this kinda looks like him judging by the context/tone.

If I was smea, My username would be smea. I wasn't trying to point fingers, but rather point out a situation as a whole

That. Is the dumbest thing. I've ever read. WHY. Why would you wanna block hax?

I noticed the slight but quite important difference between 'Almost' which is meaningfull, by the way full of hope and so-expected pleasure And a tearfull 'No'=no pleasure, eternal pain in the mouth of Hell.....
Ok, no promise was made but there was some kind of a vow, symbol of 'I told u i'll do it so i'll do it'.

It would be cool that Nintendo patches the private Kernel Exploit so we can finally have it.

Ahhhh, the drama, the chaos, the impatience... Never change, GBAtemp, never change...

I hope you all eventually realize that I never gave any specific dates for a release. Instead, I kept manifesting my intentions on releasing something on a meaningful date (Christmas was the original goal, for instance) and failed consecutively to deliver because I do have a life (not a particularly easy one either).
Nonetheless, I kept the only actual promise I made, which was to report progress and document as much as possible. I even went the extra mile and threw the remaining keys away as proof.

Anyway, my goal with announcing this before even showing any proof was to spark interest in the Wii U again, and I succeeded to a satisfactory extent. Not only that, but people in general became more cautious with updating their consoles, which is a great bonus.

Everything is advancing at a great pace, I'm porting my exploit to a few key firmware versions and documenting relevant information. Homebrew ideas are being brainstormed and for the first time since the Wii U's launch, I believe it will be possible to raise a decent "scene" before it falls drastically into oblivion after the NX comes out.

What I don't understand is why people get mad when things get delayed. You do realize that I'm burning down an exploit just for everyone to enjoy homebrew on their consoles, right?
Not only that, but releasing the exploit alone won't give you anything at all. For that reason, several developers are working on different aspects of the console before it gets out in the wild and that takes variable amounts of time.

At first, my original intention was to just drop the exploit and let people do the rest, but now I don't think that's going to work. What do I mean with all this? Stop worrying so much about it. The latest firmware (5.5.1) is vulnerable, just enjoy your console in the meantime and when it's out, it's out.

In sum, I don't care if 99% of you end up hating me because the exploit is not being released when you want it to be, nor do I care if you all blame me for starting a massive hype all around and then not delivering when I was supposed to. I know there's still 1% of people around that understand what we (developers) are doing and that everyone will eventually get the chance to explore their systems in the way that's supposed to be, safe and fun. Those people don't care if the exploit is released on February, March, 2017, 2120 or whatever, because they understand we know what we're doing.

Also, mind you, time is the only factor here. Everyone seems to be so eager to disprove or contradict what I'm doing that you all end up fighting about my posts, trying to figure out what I meant exactly.

so will this exploit work on 5.5.1

Well there's nothing explain because the exploit for the newest firmware isn't public, yet. I guess we will get something like emuNAND at some point

No, right now the Scene on Wii U is way too early un development, we don't have emuNAND yet.
If you have 5.3.2/5.4.0, you can use a public Kernel Exploit for Homebrew, if you are on 5.5 or 5.5.1 you can play Pong on the browser.
Go to the sticky, don't ask here plz

[Chuardo]

Yes, if you are on 5.3.2/5.4 you can with Loadiine.
If you have -5.3.2 you can Update with a Game.

 

[gamer4lif3]

every one that don't have a 5.3.2 needs to get one there wont be a 5.5.0+ exploit released anytime soon prolly not till its patched.Don't take my word for it just read what Hykem himself has said since the start he is always finding a reason not to release flame all u want lmao but it is what it is.
