Hacking Wii U Hacking & Homebrew Discussion

I was just looking for some closure as to why it hasn't been released but I guess I won't be getting it. "We don't want it to get patched" makes very little sense to me but if that truly and honestly is the case (which I don't believe that is all there is too it IMO), then so be it. Just wanted to get my opinion out here and see what everyone thought about this! Thank you to @Marionumber1 for clearing things up for me and thanks for all the hard work with your team. I hope we see this released soon!

That truly is all there is to it. Right now they have a kernel exploit that is technically "5.5.0+" compatible. The more firmwares added to that "+" before release the better. So say that it doesn't get patched until FW 6.0.0. That means that on release you would have a hack that works on 5.5.0 to 6.0.0, which is better, because as seen in the 3ds scene, as soon as the hacks for 9.2 were released, nintendo patched it out and it took WAY longer to get them working on higher firmwares, and even then that was just to downgrade back to the initial 9.2 FW range. So while it is frustrating to the end user, it does make sense.

I can accept that. As they say "Patience is a virtue". Something I need to work on

 

[Gabriel_Yanni]

Sincerely, I can wait for it anytime, because I want to play games that I don't have enough money to buy, and I need to pay my college (if you're from Brazil you will understand my case)...

It can take one day, one week or one month, I'll be anxious to use it...

Where is this kernel exploit that's compatible with 5.5.0? I wanna use TCPGecko/pyGecko on my Wii U.

On the computer's of the people who made it. As I said, it is being with held until it is patched, which so far it has not been.

Ok ok I just wonder if there will be like some big announcement when it's out.

 

[ShinkoNet]

I'm trying to use the exploit found on wupinstaller.com/wi/ on my 5.4E wii u but it just crashes instead of booting back to the wii u menu. I've reset the save data, deleted cookies, passwords, etc and using tubehax dns.

I tried accessing the exploit through wupinstaller and via a bookmark. Is it supposed to be a really crashy and unstable exploit?

Mathew_Wi and yellows8 has released 5.4\5.5 exploit for browser，using libstagefright.I just wonder what's the difference between IOSU and this exploit.

this is the entrypoint, IOSU just gives us more.....stuff...to work with

from what I understand, correct me if I'm wrong, but the kexploit allows loadiine, homebrew, emulators etc. While IOSU is total domination. Anything and everything is up for grabs. EmuNand, usb loaders, caffeine, title installers, etc.

So IOSU is the core of the hack?And these exploits're just the doors,from which we could get into the IOSU?

SO the are totally different ways of hacking,and IOSU is better?

I believe so.

I just made an account to ask, is having a SD card the only way to actually hack a Wii U, if so, i'll just have to go out and buy a good SD card just to see if I can try this exploit, hope it works with fw 5.5.0

The only thing right now on 5.5 is a Userland Exploit, with this Exploit we can only do stuff on the Browser, Pong, write stuff, you don't need a SD for that, nothing very helpful right now.
The Hykem's IOSU Exploit should be out before February (but who knows really, Hykem is offline since 10 days ago) and we will have 100% access on our consoles.
And we don't know what we will be able to do with this right now, so my advice is better save that Money for a future HDD or a big SD Card, but wait, nobody knows what we will get in the future or when, but sooner or later you will have something, I'm 100% sure.

Probably any future Exploit will work ok on a 2GB SD Card, if we ever get EmuNAND maybe you will need to get a bigger SD Card to make it work, just wait and don't buy anything right now that you will reject getting now.

Thanks for replying... Yeah I saw Hykem's account, I hope he releases it eventually because the fact that he has been delaying and delaying his IOSU Exploit for a month seems kind of shady, it's probable that Smea might do something about it because he's also working on an exploit similar to Hykem's, guess we'll have to stay updated until Hykem says something on some kinda thread. Let's just hope, I'll hold buying an SD card for now, if it is definitely required I might get a 64gig one just for backups and stuff...

Well... Hykem when he says something of the Exploit on GBATemp it's always saying that it's going to be delayed.
If he had any problem with the Exploit right now he would tell us, I guess, he never had been 10 silent days offline before, he always told us what was going on. But this 10 days of silence could maybe mean that the Exploit it's close and he is finishing it. Who knows? I'm just daydreaming.

Anyway, nobody should get excited about this, it's my opinion, maybe he could get online tomorrow and say that it's going to be delayed until 2020 or something lol

Did anyone check if the 5.5.1 Browser is now calling home just like the latest one on the 3DS?

 

[tivu100]

I has been out fixing an Eshop problem on my nephew N3DS(es). Seems like I missed some big news.

Can anyone please update me with some news? Does the exploit does anything good for 5.5 or it's only good for 5.4?

It doesn't do anything notable for 5.5, so no good news yet.
