Hey guys,
i didnt touch my wiiu for the last few months and i read this tutorial http://gbatemp.net/threads/guide-noob-guide-to-wii-u-hacking.451297/ because i updated my wiiu to 5.5.2. my currently setup is a rednand on my sd which i access through browserhax.
so my problem is the tutorial says i should use the hbc launcher from here: https://github.com/dimok789/homebrew_launcher/releases but the browserhax but the browserhax says it dont find homebrew_launcher.elf i only have a rpx file. where i find the release with the .elf file?

2. question: I still have iosuhax. Would it make sense if i switch to mocha?
3. question: should i change my setup to rednandless?
4. question: i have games installed in rednand on a hdd. the games are also there in sysnand but i cant boot the games due to missing tickets i think. how i can install tickets without installing the whole games again in sysnand?
5. question: can i just install games and homebrews in sysnand? will it not break? because when i boot, i dont have sighax until i used browserhax.
6. question: if i switch to sysnand, how i can import my saves from rednand to sysnand?

i hope somebody can teach me. Thank you!

Just gonna answer the one question for you and others can address the rest.

The guide tells you to download release 1.4 not the rpx file

Okay let me try the rest.

2. That's your choice. I prefer HaxChi CFW over Mocha but to each their own. Mocha will require you to use browserhax. Or HaxChi then mocha but why? If you have HaxChi I see no need for mocha.

3. That depends on why you installed redNAND in the first place. Are you a developer that creates homebrew and wants to test it before release? Then that's what redNAND is for. If you just followed some guide and installed redNAND without knowing why then yes, get off rednand.

4. If your games are installed to USB then you can switch to HaxChi CFW without redownloading them. If you installed them to system memory while in redNAND then you will lose those games when you get rid of redNAND.

5. Nothing breaks when you do it wrong. They just won't play without CFW.

ok thank you, i will try it out. but one last question, the new browser exploit for 5.5.2 freezes many times. i only got 1 successfully try until now. so haxchi is the only other way to get in the hbl right? and you only can use haxchi when you have one of these ds games in the list of the tutorial right?

Yes that's right. Pry open your wallet and drop the 10 bucks or less to get a compatable DS game. You'll be glad you did. You only need to get the webexploit to work once then install HaxChi. As far as console hacks go that's a pretty inexpensive solution. Back in the day mod chips were 30 bucks or more
 
ok i did haxchi with kawashimas ds game. (i had it the whole time on my wiiu because i got it in the past when it was free on the eshop. i just noticed that today...) but i still have a problem. all games i installed in rednand were installed on a external hdd, so they also show up in my sysnand. but how i said in question 4 i cant start the games in sysnand (with mocha cfw). im pretty sure i miss the tickets. so how i can install only the game tickets without copying the whole game to my sd again?

edit: i fixed my problem.
