Not quite finding a thread with the information I'm looking for. I'm not really looking to fix this WiiU, but for background, haven't used it in a long time, it was on version 5.5.2 and I went to upgrade it to 5.5.6 and it encountered an "Error 162-4065" when the update was nearly completed. Now when I boot it up, it prompts to update and then just freezes regardless of what I choose from that menu.

From digging through forum posts, it seems there are a few possible reasons for this, and some of the fixes would wipe the memory. Ultimately, the thing I want most from my WiiU is to recover the save files because I was primarily hoping to continue a game or two. Given that I can't really boot to the main menu, is there a way to pull those save files off the WiiU?
 
Not familiar with modding or repairing WiiUs, but if someone can post links to some guides, I can probably pick things up from there. I have Cemu up and running on my PC, so if I can get those save files to my PC and to work with Cemu, I'll be golden.
 
Install ISFShax and then you can use redNAND. That also allows you access the saves
