Hardware Wii U error -5 at boot

[Pepeu557]

Just bought a Wii U with CFW installed (which idk what it is), and when I turn on, it loads the first logo screen and after that, goes to a black screen and then it shows other loading screen and after that, the -5 error, that one that can't find the file.. I don't know if it has CBHC installed, because id doesn't show any info at boot, and tried a lot of homebrews but didn't worked.. can you guys help me?

That error is related to the SDCard and file placement, try looking the Wii U hacking guide and place all the files in the SD as the guide says.

Don't worry is just a matter of putting the right files at the right places.

here's a video of my issue

it sounds like the system is trying to boot into the homebrew launcher at boot or some other app on the sd card. have you tried another sd card?

Yes, I did, and nothing D:
I think Haxchi was installed over CBHC, Idk yet

 

[godreborn]

I believe, if that has happened, you'll get a system error.

when you turn the system on, do you see a black screen with Autoboot CBHC or something like that in white letters?

 

[Pepeu557]

Well, It gives me the -5, so the system is not bricked, thank god x)
The last owner has set a app that i still don't know what it is, or a specific file is missing..
I heard about a kind of CBHC cleaner that we use our pc to remove from a extracted slc, but can't remember the name

No, that's why I think Haxchi was installed over CBHC, I can't even access CBHC menu through the Sync button

when you bought it, did it come with a hdd and sd?

Unfortunately not, when I turned it on, it brings the -3 error, also, the last owner installed the cfw three years ago, and then the dude who sold to me probably didn't knew the console was already with CFW on it, and tried install Haxchi on it, he even told me that

I think installing haxchi over cbhc just leaves you with haxchi, it shouldn't mess up the system, show me what you have on your sd once

Well, since I don't know the right files, I got it from a website that give us everything all set

 

[wicksand420]

Do you have another sd by chance? Also, what is your sd formatted to?

fat32 through guiformat, also, No, I only have 1 SD atm, the other one it was from a friend

 

[wicksand420]

ok, cause some times certain sd cards don't work well with wii u

Oh, by the way, I saw before you said you had to press the sync button to get the menu in cbhc, I think it is actually the home button on the game pad

Agreed, something is not in the right place on the sd, I think I've seen this before a few times
