Payload.elf not launching

[Niko7782]

Hello, i'm new to modding a Wii U. And i've recently modded it in the start of this year. It worked perfectly with no issues once i set it up. Until recently, it cant find a file payload.elf. With my SD card not in the console, and in the console. Nothing seems to work. I use a mini SD (16 gigs, yes ik it's too small to properly mod) and an adapter. The mini SD doesn't seem to be working at all. I have no idea why. Do i have to reformat my mini SD, then reformat it into fat 32 again? Then copy over my saved mods + homebrew? My Wii U is jailbroken btw. We used Tiramisu.

Mods i have installed (that don't launch) (attached image 1)


Edit: I found a 64 gig mini SD + better adapter. I will reinstall everything, as the storage is very very small

Hello again, i've tried everything and nothing seems to ever work. I cannot uninstall my mods either since it won't boot into tiramisu, which really sucks. I appreciate all the views that i've gotten. And if someone else has been in the same situation then how'd you get out of it? There's really nothing i can do about it. It isn't my sd card's fault, the sd card reader worked perfectly fine weeks ago, i have used my backup files and tried that but it also doesn't work. I'm just confused as to why it wouldn't work. It gives me the same exact message every time i try to go to health and safety information, and when i turn on the console.

did you follow this guide correctly ===>

I copied the files over. I'm trying to find a video of what the correct files should look like, to see if i'm missing something. I already found one place hours ago but it's extremely hard to find any pictures of what it should look like with the correct installments. Will remodding the console brick it? If not, then i can remod and reinstall hb launcher.

Not sure if there should be a sigpatches here, for example

This would've worked if i didn't use Tiramisu, since Aroma wasn't out when i modded it a few months ago. I appreciate the help

Sounds like a bad SD card to me. I would get a new decent brand SD card and redo everything with Aroma.

I tested with 2 sd cards. A 16 gig old one and a brand new sandisk 64 gig which has been formatted correctly. But would remodding it brick the console?
