This guide uses the FREE DLC "Mercedes Benz" to do the trick. You need download it on eshop.

In this tutorial I'll show you how to play Mario kart 8 with all DLCs unlocked without start a CFW or something for this. It should work with others games with multiple DLC like Wii Sports Club, Super Smash Bros, Hyrule Warriors and others. Of course you need a legit DLC from game you want to play.

For Super Smash Bros detail follow this link:

For Zelda BOTW follow:

What you need:

Spoiler

• Mercedes Benz DLC downloaded from eshop. (needs a legit DLC)
• Mocha CFW, Haxchi CFW, or any other (just in the beginning)
• WiiU App Store (or Tik2SD + FTPiiU_Everywhere + WUP Installer GX2 +
  Mocha CFW + Homebrew Launcher)
• WiiU USB Helper
• SD Card
• PC
• Hex Editor (HxD for Windows)

1 - First if you have any illegitimate MK8 DLC installed, just delete it using using Data manager on WiiU Config
2 - Download the DLC on eshop
3 - Make sure your SD card is formatted in FAT32
4 - Download the DLC of MK8 of your region with WiiU USB Helper and put it in your SD card in na folder called "install" in the root.
5 - Go to Homebrew Launcher and choose App Store or go to wiiubru.com/go on you browser and choose App Store. If you don't know what's Homebrew Launcher is give a look in this guide (parts I, II and III) and choose start App Store.
6 - In App Store Download Tik2SD + FTPiiU_Everywhere + WUP Installer GX2 + Mocha CFW + Homebrew Launcher
7 - Launch Homebrew Launcher and go to Mocha_CFW (use default options). Then go to WUP Installer GX2 and choose install the DLC of MK8 you just download wherever is your game (nand or USB).
8 - Back to Homebrew Launcher, go to Tik2SD and backup your tickets. Put your SD in PC and look at tik2sd folder. Open keys.txt and search where your MK8 DLC is installed. The name you need to search is 0005000c1010ec00 or 0005000c1010ed00 or 0005000c1010eb00. In my case (US) it says "0009/00000015.tik".
9 - Now it's time for hex editing.
Thanks to @Rahzadan we have a VERY detailed tutorial for it. Go to this thread and after the hex editing go to step 10 below.

Spoiler

If you followed the @Rahzadan tutorial go to step 10. I'll keep this part only for log
purpose.

Spoiler

Locate your ticket in your SD card according with keys.txt. Open with an hex editor (in my case it's on 0009 folder and the name is 00000015.tik. Backup the ticket.

Look that you gonna have 2x finds in the key.txt file. In my case 0009/00000015.tik@0x6a0 and 0009/00000015.tik@0x0. The number after the "@" shows where the ticket starts inside the tik file. It means probably the fake ticket is in beginning of tik (0x0) file and my legit ticket starts in 0x6a0 (note is in hexadecimal).

The fake ticket is like this, a lot of same numbers:

Spoiler

In this case it shows SSB ticket, but for MK8 ticket is the same thing, just another Game ID.

Pay attention in the blue highlight. It shows the game ID. If it says a number other than 0005000c1010ec00 or 0005000c1010ed00 or 0005000c1010eb00 it means the ticket is from another game!

The trick here is swap the fake ticket with the legit ticket, that way the legit ticket always come first in the tik file! This picture can demonstrate what I mean:

Spoiler

In this case it shows SSB ticket, but for MK8 ticket is the same thing.

Maybe there's another game ticket inside the tik file, maybe not. Anyway, just copy and past with your hex editor the fake ticket with the legit ticket. Pay attention and don't touch other game tickets in the tik file!

If your legit ticket comes first you don't need swap the tickets! You already can play with all DLC unlocked! I believe it can happens if you download the free DLC after install the fake DLC.

After the swap save your ticket in your PC.

10 - Now put your SD back in WiiU. Open Homebrew Launcher and launch FTPiiU_everywhere (make sure you had launch Mocha CFW or other CFW before that)
11 - Go to your MK8 ticket location inside WiiU memory using a FTP browser like FileZilla or even Windows Explorer with the IP of your WiiU. Its in "storage_slc/rights/ticket/apps/xxxx/xxx.tik". Replace that ticket with the one you just modified.
12 - Open your MK8 game and enjoy play with all contents without CFW!

TL;DR: Download the free DLC, install all DLC packet with a fake ticket, locate your ticket inside WiiU, swap the legit ticket with the fake ticket inside the tik file so that the legit ticket appears first.

Thank to @nexusmtz and @Madridi

Replace the ticket in the 0009 folder with the ticket I modified for you. The location of the ticket folders is in my tutorial on deleting a fake ticket.

K thanks

 

[godreborn]

let me know if it works or doesn't. I took out each ticket to see if it was the right size (which it was). I also made sure you sent me the right ticked (which you did) by looking for the content id in hex.

 

[Shibva]

Ok so what do I do with it after I put it into the folder? Sorry for being so stupid, I'm a little bit autistic which makes it really hard to understand stuff. And it's probably other things.

 

[godreborn]

that's it.

 

[godreborn]

if you need help, we could try team viewer. I've had someone else take control of my pc but not the other way around. install HxD and put the ticket on your desktop. I'll check it before using ftp (filezilla).

Sorry, I deleted the webapp some weeks ago, I figured no one was using it anymore.

Here is a reupload (run index.html)

Will this work for a Mario Kart 8 disc?

What am I supposed to do if I used Wii U USB Helper to get Mario Kart 8? I tried to get the free DLC from eShop but it won't install saying that it's corrupted. Is there any way to make it work like this?

Now that's interesting. I'm not sure if you need a legit copy of the game to download the free dlc. they're separate tickets though. updates are also separate tickets as well. 50000 is the game, 5000c is dlc, and 5000e is the update from what I remember. however, a retail game is playable without cfw, so it's strange what's going on.

No, you not need it.
I grab free dlc without trouble

Great tutorial!

Hello, just tried this and didnt work.
My game loads off as if I only have the free DLC installed.
I have the game (legit, came preinstalled with the console) on the system memory, the DLC installed with WUP are on a USB storage, will this matter?
Any possible fixes or suggestions?

 

[godreborn]

Yes, I think that matters. All content and saves need to be on the same partition.

As @godreborn said all the dlc and updates and game saves must be on the same storage as the game.

aight ill give it a try

 

[eeL20]

worked flawlessly, thanks

Greetings,
Is this procedure still current?
Best regards.

Best regards.

yes, should work for any game whether the dlc is free or not. though, with non-free dlc, one of the dlc must be purchased. it's a flaw with the license verification procedure of the wii u. it only verifies the first license, then assumes the rest are legit. lol

 

[Blugoo]

Thanks for the quick reply. I wanted to make sure not to take any risks since my WiiU has the latest update. I 'purchased' the Mercedes DLC for MK8 yesterday and it should be the only thing ever added to this machine.
I also thought maybe the homebrew shop could since then have been updated after this ingenious discovery to use the legit ticket from the machine when you download non-legit DLC
