I dont think a format removes hacks
^- This. The payload loader is still on the NAND trying to chainload a custom firmware from the SD card but the files are missing from the SD card.

Was probably the exact same reason: Files missing on the SD card (and pirated games). So are you sure you want to remove the CFW instead of fixing it? Your Wii U won't play pirated content without a CFW.

It's possible that this was happening due to the missing 01_sigpatches.rpx file. In case you're still interested in modding your Wii U, go to wiiu/environments/aroma/modules/setup/ on your SD Card and check if that file is there, if not, you can download it from here.

u will have to insert ur sd card into ur pc/laptop etc and hit the repair when it is done if it doesnt say failed, if so repeat repair until its successful. u might have to add the Wii u that has the enviroments and all that in it again fter that u should be good to go. had the same issue i think i mastered it by now lol. let me know if there is still issues i have 1 more method
