Hacking Screwed up bad, please help! vWII cIOS screw up!

[JoostinOnline]

I actually had the newest update with smash bros U and when i launched the game it didnt require an update because the system was updated prior to me modding anything.

Did you try AFTER modding?

Usu

ally when you launch a game it requires a disc update to proceed. Ive launced smash bros after i screwed everything up and it didnt require anything at all.

Well for future reference, updating should always work via disc. If they ever release another vWii update (unlikely), you can just use a disc version to do it.

Out of curiousity. I own 2 games on my semi bricked vWII Super Mario World WII U and Nintendo land. (they came already pre installed on the console, it was a bundle). Is there any way to move those games to my new wii u that doesnt come with the games installed?

im assuming this will totally screw up both systems and shouldnt do it since the IOS on the WII Us are both custom firmware right?

No, it doesn't transfer stuff like that, just user information, games, and pre-approved channels (so not Homebrew Channel or any custom stuff)

The only thing that im really worried about is that during this process Wii U is actually formatted. Should i be worried?

I see no reason to be. It's not "formatted" so much as "wiped", all information that wouldn't be on the console from the box is erased, but the FW version stays the same and vIOS titles are left alone

Yeah, tis a shame... Though, like I said, you now have a homebrew machine (or something)!

TotalInsanity4 Just wondering. There is always a possiblity that a game disc system update might actually correct the bricked wii u eh?

There's a possibility, I suppose, but it's mainly speculation at this point, as no one knows for sure how Wii U updates for vWii IOSs work (what it seems to be doing, though, is replacing specific target vIOSs regardless as opposed to replacing anything that's missing or corrupted). So like I said, possibly? It really depends on if vIOS 58 is ever updated

 

[Jeremy Pettes]

Just like I said earlier guys. Thank you all for helping me out though the problem wasn't fixed. Ill try and pay it forward with what i learned from this issue.

Hi,

I am having the same trouble unfortunately after using NUS downloader to install IOS58 on my vWii. I have found a solution and I have been able to install a WAD via YAWMM to install a channel that will install IOS58-64-v6432.wad but I don't have this .wad. Any chance someone can PM me this IOS58-64-v6432.wad

Many thanks for everyone's help.

Thank you for the help. I am running into a few issues however. I managed to get vwii IOS58 Wad installer thingy channel installed using YAWMM but when i load it and select the wad i made using NUSD for vWii i get an error:

wrong hash for content #0 could not open file: sd:/IOS58-64-v6432.wad.out.wad error reading IOS into memory
IOS58 install failed.

I am unsure what i am doing wrong. I used NUSD with the vwii common key to create the .wad

I am trying to re install the HBC via hackmii installer as it hangs at the scam screen.

I have also tried to install the .wad via YAWMM but it won't install. I read somewhere that I need to repack the wad with wwpacker but the links are broke. Any suggestions.

Thanks again.

 

[Nick87]

I think it may be something to do with the .wad file I created using NUSD, as it appears that original IOS58 wads that people have been sent to repair on other threads have worked with IOS58 WAD Installer. There doesn't appear to be any other way for me to fix it. I can load homebrew launcher and wii mod lite through smash, my only issue is getting a proper IOS58 wad to install correctly enabling me to run hackmii to reapply the hbc.

I really hope i can fix this. I appreciate all your help. Thanks.

I dunno if you already tried this, but if you get IOS236 installer V6 for vWii as a .elf file and a clean copy of IOS 36 then you should be able to run the installer from Jodi and install a working IOS 236, which you can use with YAWMM to install your clean IOS 58.
