Hacking Starting over again on a Wiiu?

[pbcsd]

mocha is supposed to do that. it returns you to the home screen after loading. you did get the mocha splash screen, correct? after you're back on the home screen, go into system settings.

No, screen goes black for a second, then it just takes me back to the same Homebrew launcher screen.

 

[godreborn]

do you have a mocha config file? try mine:

 

[pbcsd]

Yes....

viewMode=0
directLaunch=1
launchImage=0
noIosReload=1
launchSysMenu=0
redNAND=0
seeprom_red=0
otp_red=0
syshaxXml=0

 

[godreborn]

use mine.

I think the launchSysMenu=0 is your problem.

 

[pbcsd]

Thx...good, I'm on 5.5.3.

 

[Lostbhoy]

Why are we using Mocha here? If your already using cbhc, you already are in cfw. Booting Mocha here is pointless??

 

[pbcsd]

Just wanted to check what firmware my Wii U was on.

yes, it's how you can check firmware instead of having all 9s.

 

[Lostbhoy]

Ah of course..... My bad, as you were

 

[godreborn]

Thx...good, I'm on 5.5.3.

if you live in Canada, you're on the latest. I think only Europe has 5.5.4.

 

[pbcsd]

Thanks, got it all to work...and after all that effort, didn't realize just how retro the retroarch games were!

 

[pbcsd]

BTW, I seem to recall downloading a game to mod this, but not I can't remember if that was for this unit or my Wii. Is there a way to check for the original exploit?

 

[godreborn]

the easiest way to check is to jot down the title id listed on the autobooting screen. I can't recall if it starts with 00050000 (the prefix for games), but type in 00050000-xxxxxxxx (where x is the title id listed on that screen). I don't think it says 00050000, but you want that when you google the full title id. alternatively, you can look for the title id on the cbhc webpage. part of the code says what each title id stands for (i.e. the game). https://github.com/FIX94/haxchi/blob/master/installer/src/gameList.h#L14-L102

edit: doesn't seem you need 00050000 for the cbhc link, so you might start with that.

 

[pbcsd]

Thx, so Brainage. The account I modded it with needs to continue on the device right? It's my kids main account so wanted to change it if I could.

 

[godreborn]

yes, don't format, move, or delete it or you'll brick.

 

[godreborn]

I don't think you can move or delete the game anymore, since it's supposed to have those safeguards, but I wouldn't try it anyway. formatting or another one is deleting the account that bought the game. basically, anything that could interfere with the game opening at boot.

Hey guys, I want to install Aroma and possibly Tiramisu but don’t want to brick the unit.

Reading this guide ..

https://wiiu.hacks.guide/#/

It mentions to do different things depending on what was originally installed. I can’t recall if I installed Mocha CFW with the online exploit, CBHC etc. Looks like I did use the online exploit as I read this thread from 4 years ago.

How would I go about checking this to know what to uninstall? Obviously want to take care not to brick the unit inadvertently!

Also, do I use the original SD card that I've already modded the unit with?

Lastly the guide mentions going from 5.5.6 to Aroma but believe I’m on 5.5.3.

Thx!

Just updating thread as I check things. In the main HBL, when I launch CBHC Installer, I get a "Failed to open file chbc.elf" error.

Also, confirming it has the ! with Don't Touch Me.

Screen shots attached of what my console boots into, and files on main directory of SD card...

Okay, I think these are the steps I need to perform. I'm going to keep the existing SD32 card just in case.

1.Get to the main Wii U menu, click on System Settings, Data Management, delete the Don't Touch Me app
2. Format a new SD card to FAT32/32kb, no title
3. Go through the guide step by step

Step 1 is the one that I'm most nervous about, no issues deleting the "Don't Touch me!" app?

before deleting the"don't touch me" you have to uninstall cbhc properly by launching cbhc installer as it's described here:

https://wiiu.hacks.guide/#/uninstall-cbhc?id=uninstall-cbhc

for your problem while launching the cbhc installer, check if the file is in his folder (maybe replace it with a new downloaded one).
and maybe you need to enable sigpatches before boot this homebrew

Hmmm…thanks will try to find the file in that case.

Okay, found the file and installed Aroma.

I also tried to install Pretendo, but got the 102-2452 error when I clicked on send password to registered emails. Apparently that means my console was banned? Anyway to get on Pretendo at this point?

 

[flowlapache]

nice, you can use aroma now! but sorry, I don't use pretendo and don't know your issue. for me, pretendo should work, anyway your console is banned..
