Hello everyone.

I formatted a USB Drive on my original Wii U. That original Wii U got sent to Nintendo for repairs. They sent me back a different Wii U, so now my USB Drive can't be recognized. I don't have access to the Wii U that formatted the USB Drive.

Are there any hacks/tools that can help with my situation or am I shit out of luck?

I tried DumpsterU but that requires the original OTP and SEEPROM which I don't have.

Thank you for your time.

This.

You hard drive got "tied" to your previous Wii U when formatted by it, the only way to use it on your actual Wii U console is by formatting it again, hence loosing all its contents in the process.

Please, someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Also, can we make an OTP and SEEPROM backup to use it on cases like this?
