Hacking I think i messed up.

[Jerey71]

Tbh I don't know how all these things could help you.
If I got it right you didn't use use any hacks before and you had only games you bought on eshop.
Then you started the kexploid, your Wii freezed and after that you couldn't start some (or all games) on your usb drive anymore. Or am I missing something?

you got most of it right. except i had no games on the eshop, and it wont start disk games(physical copys)

Oh ok.
So if they still don't work after you removed the sd card I would guess there is a problem wth you disc drive or something on the sd card messed something on your internal storage up.

But I'm no dev and thats just a wild guess.

@lembi2001 @NWPlayer123 @Net-KILLER Ok WHOH.
The game seems to be working fine. and i think i have a theory to why this happened. Remember that i'm not a pro so this could be totally wrong.

What i think happened was that when i first tried wiiubru and my wiiu crashed for the first time, i think my wiiu entered a homebrew like state when trying to activate the homebrew. when i turned off the wiiu, it never exited this state, and the wiiu kept itself in this state the whole time.

This weird limbo that my wiiu was in must have messed with the way the wiiu reads disks(maybe because it thought that it was in the homebrew channel or loadliine or something like that) which caused the wiiu to end up sending disk errors.

when i tried the second time(now) and crashed(again) it must have caused the wiiu to exit out of its limbo state and back into "WiiU Mode" or something like that. this must have fixed the disk read issue, fixing my wiiu. is there anything wrong here?

sorry but i dont think that theory is possible. the homebrew state you are talking about is temporary in the ram and once wii u is turned of / on the kernel exploit (wii u homebrew hack state) goes away. maybe your wii u is broken, or something?

I expected that. but then something doesn't make sense. how did the disk reader suddenly break when i tried wiiubru, then fix itself self when i tried again?

 

[bootmonster]

Did you actually turn the wii u off fully or just do a soft reset when the games weren't working?

Soft reset.

Nah, only with a cold boot, warm boot will still have weird stuff happening, I've restarted my Wii U before and the Wi-Fi just did not work, had to turn it off /again/ and then it worked, some kernel adapter setting can get broke, I dunno the exact science

So im going guess that warm boot is soft reset and cold boot is hard.
Wow. i think i may have discovered something new!

uhhh what does cold boot and warm boot mean? i am utterly confused in this...

 

[Risingdawn]

Cold boot. - To turn on a device from a powerless state, a device that has been shutdown completely and/or unplugged.
Warm boot. -To reset your device from a standby state/powered on, a device that has not been shutdown completely/unplugged.

Usually holding down any devices power/on button will cause a complete shutdown, just pressing it once will go to a standby mode.

It is recommended to unplug for 30's, I presume to clear capacitors and ram although you can usually 'flush' the power by unplugging and pressing the power button.

Holding down the power/on button is normally enough

 

[Jerey71]

It never ends.
Ok so things just got even weirder. so, after i thought that everything was done i went to bed. when i woke up, my disks weren't reading again!
i then went to wiiubru(again) and watched my wiiu crash(again) and then it started to read disks again. what is going on
