I installed Homebrew Launcher in my WIi U and vWii around 3 years ago using the Haxchi method. Haven't played on it for a while. Now I can't even turn CFW on or use tiramisu method because my console won't detect any SD card, except when it's on vWii mode. The SD card is formatted as FAT32 and 32KB cluster. Can somebody help me?

I wonder if factory resetting the console would fix the problem, but I'm afraid it won't and I'll lose my games. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hello,

SEVERAL QUESTIONS ARISING:

the small lock on the side of the SD is not damaged??

Your SD card is well detected on your PC??

Is it a single SD or micro SD card??

Is this a good card and not counterfeit??

Hello jeannotte, thanks for replying to this thread!

the small lock on the side of the SD is not damaged??
No, I also tried many other cards
Your SD card is well detected on your PC??
Yes, all of them work on my computer
Is it a single SD or micro SD card??
I tried single SD cards and micro SD cards inside an adapter
Is this a good card and not counterfeit??
Original SanDisk cards


Also, regarding vWii "detecting" my card, turns out it will detect any SD shaped object. All of my cards cause the vWii to display this error message "The device inserted in the SD card slot cannot be used". But I still think that the slot is trying to read the card, because when I put an empty adapter it returns the error message almost instantly and when I put a micro sd in the adapter it takes a while for the error message to appear.

Is your console upto date?? If its been a few years u may need an update.
Hello Lostbhoy
Thanks for the suggestion. It will be the first thing I do as soon as I get home. I will keep you updated

EDIT: Just updated the console, still won't read the card.
