[Lost case] Saving a bricked Wii U (without anything)

[Rick Astley]

I tried to boot into recover mode a few times.

This was the best I could get. If I can get it to work however, what should I do then ?
Thanks

Hello! Did your wii u work as usual before the system update? I ordered a Wii U with the same problem and with system version 5.5.1 and I hope I can hack it without updating. I'll write here about my results later.

You can't.

Will it be possible to update to the latest version?error 162-4065 will not appear?

Dump the system crash logs, so we can see the details. 5.5.1 should be exploitable. If you neither get the Browser exploit nor DNSpresso to work UDPIH should still work

I don't have a Wii U yet, it should arrive in a couple of days. If I can successfully resolve error 160-2215 for this post, I will proceed further and write about it here

I'm facing the error "can't write simple pairing mode: input/output error (5)". I tried running bluubomb on a PC, on two laptops and on a steam deck and I always get this error. I tried to disable simple pairing mode according to the instructions on github, but that didn’t help either. maybe there is a solution?

The Browser exploit or DNSpresso or UDPIH would be easier. Which ones did you try?

so far i'm trying to use only the bluubomb method, my wii u gives error 160-2215 when entering mii maker and starts all over again. I'm ready to buy a raspberry pi pico and use the UDPIH method. Is it possible to replace wup files using DNSpresso?

I was able to run DNSpresso! but I don't know if it's possible to replace the wup mii maker. when I select the wii u menu I am again asked to create a mii and the same error comes out

Use DNSpresso to install ISFShax and then dump logs
