I want to sell my Wii U, and i would like to remove all hacks and restore it to factory settings. What is the safest way to do this?

Can't say for sure, it has been a while since I hacked it. I know I have Haxchi and Homebrew Launcher, plus a bunch of games installed to my home screen.

You can easily just format your Wii U as long as you don't use CBHC. Do you see any autobooting info on your gamepad when you start up?

No I never set it up for cold boot, I run Haxchi manually. Do I just run a regular factory reset?

Am I better off trying to sell it hacked?

if you have cbhc installed you need to remove it through the installer then you can just go into settings and restore

You can just perform a facotry reset via system settings.
Again, make sure no CBHC is installed, or a birck will occur.

Formatting the WIIU will erase the "NDS Game" which is haxchi, as well as the channels installed. so just do et ;D

  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    @SylverReZ find me ONE community that is free of drama and politics. even video games forums (like this one) have politics section. and for some reason gamers still take consoles/brands wars seriously. even as a kid i never took the console wars bait despite being a nintendo kid.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    one of the reasons i deleted all my social media accounts, reddit account (although i was rarely using it) etc was to get away from this shit.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Vetusomaru, Sadly, not all communities like to play nice. Forums are pretty much dying despite Discord amongst other social media being available.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    i only kept my twitter accounts and only because many of the artists i like share their art only/mostly at twitter.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    lots of discord groups (even the big ones) are also dead for some reason.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Twitter is way too shittier.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    that's why i added some firefox addons to block shit like twitter trends.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Discord, on the other hand, moderation tends to not be very nice in video game communities from what I had experienced.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    nah, discord is also a shithole. discord is good only if you have your own community with your own rules. or if you re lucky to find some groups that arent shitholes.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    as about forums, when i recently revisited some old forums i used to be regular and seeing how immature most members still are i was like "Yeap. Nothing of value has been lost.". Unfortunately it's the good, comfy forums that ended up dead or shut down, especially because of internet centralization.
