Hacking What is the advantage of CBHC

[september796]

You can always turn on your Wii U with your gamepad and launch haxchi in the quick start menu, that doesn’t take long so I think there’s no need to get CBHC

That's exactly what I do and it takes 50 seconds total. It's not that bad although I'd be happy if it was less.

Not only that, but when you enable quick start, you activate standby. And what happen to the careless users on 5.5.1. They were updated. Nintendo could of EASILY just decided to patch haxchi. And you guys would of been screwed over for a bit or possibly even longer. I honestly think it was a stroke of luck nintendo just gave up and didn't bother fixing the ds vc exploit. If they did and you guys relied on that method, then, you would have to deal with the shotty webrowser exploit, and because there wouldn't be a ds exploit, the hacking community would have to find a new semi permanent exploit. Which in theory could take a long while. (and yes, I will acknowledge that yes, you can setup a dns on your wiiu to block updates. But lets be honest, how many people took that precaution. Not that many)

I think cbhc could be safer now and more efficient but it hasn't been updated in a long time afaik.

But what is wrong with being on 5.5.2 with Haxchi?

you missed the point, the problem is with the quick boot option (because that was their work around of saying you could just autoboot using quick menu). activating the quick menu turns on standby, mode. Meaning your console is vulnerable to updates and patches. So lets pretend 5.5.2 hasn't released yet. People are using the quick menu option and didn't setup a dns (like many since quite a few people assumed the wiiu was dead). While their wiiu was off their console updated, and in this pretend situation, nintendo didn't just patch the webrowser momentarily. but also patched haxchi. All that sign patched content would then need to sit on your console (because you cannot launch it/play it) meanwhile waiting for the devs to create a web browser exploit to then get back into the kernel. Which the browser exploit is unstable. And because haxchi is the only publicly known semi permanent exploit. Hackers would have to find a new one because Nintendo fixed it in our pretend senerio, causing a detriment to those who were careless.

nor has haxchi, but coldboothax has moved quite a way from where it first began. people orignally had to use ftpiiu everhwhere and touch the slc folder themselves. A lot bricks happened because of user error. Hence why now it's much more safer (but still dangerous) to install coldboothax. The only other danger, is to constantly be removing coldboothax, since the partion in the wiiu that contains coldboothax is slighlty corrupted. But as long as your just installing it, and that's it. Then there is no other problems to worry, just not deleting the ds vc for coldboothax, and being stupid and using the installer with a usb.

not if you delete the update folder like months ago, am I right?

But not everyone did that. and not everyone decided to use dns. The 5.5.2 update could of been pretty bad if Nintendo just patched haxchi, which would of made getting cfw without a internet browser pretty tricky.

srs people are still afraid of cbhc this days and age? if you install it correctly the only way to brik is formating your console or unlicking your nnid...

Well, it was for one user when they tried to update:

because that was more than likely a different time, before the installer was out. People did it by hand which originally gave it's dangerous stigma to it. Also which user, because you don't modfiy the system.xml yourself anymore, the installer does it for you. and serveral people bricked themselves when coldboothax was incredibly new. and not end user.

Never mind, I see it now. But he said it could of been corrupted files. Thats why folks you make sure your sd card isn't corrupted. (again he did a stupid thing.)

99% of the "bricks" is people instaling it over a fake ds title lol.
