OFFLINE UPDATE WII U - Brick 160-0103 - Access recovery menu 0.4

[nerirififi]

Hi i got a wii u who got the error 160-0103



i can't go to system settings, and the console is in 5.5.1
So i would like to update manually in upper firmware, but i don't know which games have the update


I can't connect the console on internet

but i can boot in recovery menu 0.4
There is a function to install wup, I try home-brew launcher and it s not working.


there is no way to install manually an update ?
cool thing will be to change the network wifi, like that i will have access to homebrew menu, maybe i can do it more thing here

I try to plug ethernet adaptor for switch and that don't work too.



So if someone have an idea for fix that ?

I boıght my first wii u off of ebay. I got it very cheap with this problem. My wii u is working but when I choose the profile, it gives me 0103 error. I can not access the wii u menu and connect to internet. I can access the recovery menu. I was thinking maybe I can solve this by updating the wii u. I tried to coldboot using recovery. Still the same. I wonder how you did you fix it. Please help me about it.

I have a Wii U with error 160-0103 when turning on the console, the Recovery menu did not resolve it even though it gave a success message, would anyone have a possible tip?

hello, sorry for the delay, I got some logs through Recovery menu 0.4

Sorry for the late answer.
You have to create manually the firmware and install tickets with option in recovery menu.
Firmware to create depends on which firmware the nintendo Wii U is bricked.

I don't know if I can upload the file here?

Because you need title key for create this file.
Ticket must be installed 1by one for that work, because recovery menu can't take more than 1 file on the sd card to install.

Just a Small update. I've tried to Thering my Phone into the Wii u ports. When it connected to the internet the Update fixed my FW.
Soo to anyone with the same issue just try this.
I needed at least 2 tries but it solved. Im soo happy that i did it.

Don't do it that way. Installs add info to the versions.bin to prevent downgrading.

Not much of a Wii U guy here (more a Wii and 3DS expert really) but the only solution I can come up with would be to try and just. Update from a game disc somehow, but idk if there's any discs with the latest FW

How is it working the best way to update from 5.5.1 offline when i can not enter the system settings to update the firmware?
