Hardware Wii U error -5 at boot

[Teletron1]

Even if we figure out which homebrew it's set to launch I don't think he can sync his gamepad in any homebrew app, I could be wrong.

no that can only be done in the wii u systems menu for the tablet, but should be able to sync a pro controller just by plugging it in the usb port

Holding the sync button on the console does get you into the cbhc menu.

Hey, I saw you had a fw.img on the root of your sd, this may point to someone autobooting mocha with cbhc

Its stupid, but may very well be it

has anyone ever used a gamepad to usb cable?

well this person won't be able to do anything without a controller first

I never tried but I wonder if those wii u tablet to usb cables would help get the tablet to at least work

 

[wicksand420]

That's, weird, I got the console to go into the menu with the sync button once, now I cant get it to do it again, I wonder whats happening.

awesome, you can use the buttons on the console to set the autoboot in cbhc

so he don't need a controller if he can get into the menu

Yeah but it didn't worked to me, already tried boot using the sync button

Yeah but it didn't worked to me, already tried boot using the sync button

its really hard to do, Iv'e tried about 30 times and got it to work twice, my gamepad is dead and no controllers are attached

try this, hold down the sync button and turn on the console, after the white wiiu screen, let go of the sync button and press it again

Can't I access the Wii U Nand files to fix this issue, but, without teensy, etc?

Get the controller working first is mission 1

 

[Pepeu557]

Get the controller working first is mission 1

Then it's a impossible mission, since I can't access home menu

 

[wicksand420]

Dude, you should have listened to me, I just told cbhc to autoboot homebrew menu and removed it from the sd, I got a -5 error, so I disconnected my gamepad, and restarted the console while holding down the sync button, released the sync button after the white wiiu screen and pressed it again and was able to set it up to autoboot sysmenu with out a controller. But if you want you can keep listening to people say you need a controller.

Things you need they sell a usb to wii u cable need to plug it in to usb port to see if you can gain acetone to tablet controller
Or try plugging a pro controller to the usb port to see if you could get to home menu so you can pair the tablet

With out a controller yes you are $hit out of luck unless you have telekinesis

Stop telling him he needs a controller, I just proved he dont

But the problem is, I already tried a lot of times, and I'm not sure if it has CBHC installed, It doesn't show me this screen or the "autobooting"..

I think haxchi was installed over CBHC and this error happened, I'm not 100% sure

 

[wicksand420]

Tell it to autoboot sysmenu

We can't access cbhc through a controller connected to a USB, cable, right? because if we don't, there's not point of getting a USB controller to try that

No, this screenshot is not mine, It was just an example, my gamepad is not synced

 

[wicksand420]

in the menu you just showed me, tap sync until it goes to autoboot

 

[Pepeu557]

this screenshot it was an example, I took if from a video, I wanted to say that this menu doesn't show in my wii u at boot, my gamepad is not even syncronized to the console

 

[wicksand420]

Follow what I said above

1. turn off the console

2. hold the sync button on the console firmly

3. turn on the console, and keep holding the sync

4. when the white wii u screen turns to black, release the sync button and press it again

It will work, you may have to try a few times

I suspect the reason why the autobooting cbhc screen don't show up is because someone used the cbhc mod.

 

[Pepeu557]

nothing =[

 

[wicksand420]

The only other thing I would suggest is to look on here

https://gbatemp.net/threads/cbhc-mod-coldboot-haxchi-cfw-mod.453971/

and put all the things that you can autoboot with the mod on your sd, this may fix the problem

it may be loadiine that is missing
