Hacking Wii U Bricked?

[vhudsonv]

Hi just wan't to know if there is anything I can do to recover my Wii U error code 160-0101 and I can't find my backup Nand. Anything soft or hard mod I can do?

@Leeful wrote a tutorial I believe on fixing a brick. however, afaik, if it's a cbhc brick, you need the nand and the otp. the otp will decrypt the nand, and it's only usable on the system it came with. you only need the otp if you don't have the NAND backed up from before the brick.

looks like it was @Kafluke who did the tutorial, not Leeful: https://gbatemp.net/threads/guide-kaflukes-hardmod-cbhc-unbrick-guide.476725/

Looks easy enough but I don't have a copy of my Nand. Is there no way of reading the nand?

I believe you can get it with a hard mod, but if it's a cbhc at least or something else that's gotten corrupted, you'll need your otp to decrypt the nand to fix it. you can do that on the computer for both vwii and wii u. if you don't have your otp, I think the brick is permanent.

if you had your nand and no otp, the system is recoverable as long as the nand is from an earlier point to where there was no corruption or cbhc install. if you have to fix the nand, you need the otp.
