I have a modded Deluxe Edition Wii U on the latest software version with Aroma installed. Earlier today, I installed an app to my SD card from this zip file that will be attached below. According to the post I got it from, it's the Wii U USB Helper Transfer Tool I wanted so that I could install pirated games more easily. However, after merging the wiiu folder from the zip with the one on my SD card, I booted up my Wii U and found a message telling me to link an NNID account. Odd, I thought, since I already linked one in the past. But, then, as I continued, I found all my folders and homebrew apps gone. My games (legit and pirated) were still there, yes, but all my homebrew apps and folders weren't, with every item previously inside a folder being moved outside. Then, when I loaded my SD card on my computer again, I found that all the app folders were still there, but they just weren't showing up. I removed the app from the Wii U apps folder, but when I put the card in my Wii U again, it said it couldn't load payload.elf. I didn't tamper with any files other than adding the USB_LOADER folder to the apps, although both times I ejected the SD card it said it was in use, which may have contributed to my problem? I also had Wii U USB Helper open in the background during this whole situation. Please help me, I don't know what to do!

NEVERMIND! Seems the brick was simply due to a read error. I'm fine!!!

I don't think aroma is compatible with the elf files. I read that on a forum somewhere earlier today and was disappointed. It'd be nice not to have to swap the sd card between pc and wiiu all the time. Let me know if you figure out a way to get the tool working with aroma.
