Hi,
i think, i bricked my WiiU yesterday. The WiiU boot is stopped during showing the WiiU Boot screen. The music is played for around 10 seconds, but is stopping during playing a tone. Pressing B during boot to go to vWii isn't working.
I searched the internet and some people described, that the problem can be fixed by moving the gamepad far away from the console. I tried this, but without success. I will try this today again, by removing the device into my basement, but i think, this won't fix my problem.
My WiiU has been bricked during installing a dumped WiiU game via the wad installer to internal NAND. The wad installer stopped at 100%, but has been never finished. I waited a long time (~1hour) and finally reboot the console by unplugging the power supply. Afterwards the boot freeze occurs.
I used coldboot haxchi as custom firmware.
I think, i my NAND become corrupted, during the failed WAD installation. If i understand it correct, this should be fixed by MLC-Backup via MMC-Card Adapter and flashing the eMMC.
I created my complete NAND backup before modifying my device. The backup also didn't contains the used DS game for the coldboot haxchi.
I fear, after using my backup to restore the corrupted MLC, i will run into the problem, that the modified SLC expects the missing ds game. Is this correct? I also have to restore my dumped SLC?
Would be very gracefully if somebody can give me some feedback. I searched a lot and found different descriptions, how to fix the problem, but i'm not sure, if they are are all up to date. I hope that's there is maybe an more easier solution, which i haven't found yet or that i can avoid to restore the SLC.
Thanks in advance,
Marcel
