Wii U with ISFShax stuck on home menu

[ononpnrpqcpa]

Hi,
I can no longer boot my Wii U because it gets stuck on this home menu screen.

I used it a few days ago and I didn't do anything strange, just played a injected wii game.
I have ISFShax (with plugins on SLC and wafel_payloader to load aroma).
I have already tried to boot without sd and usb and also to put plugins on sd and boot with the corresponding option from minute menu.
I have seen here someone who had a similar problem and fixed it using recovery menu and UDPIH.
Unfortunately I don't have my raspberry with me right now. Can I access recovery menu in some other way using minute? Do you have other suggestions?
Thank you very much

If you've got a hacked switch or a steam deck, you could use those instead of a raspberry.

In minute try the Patch ISFShax and boot IOS (slc)option. If that doesn't help dump the logs in the backup and restore menu

Thank you for the replies.
Unfortunately with option Patch ISFShax and boot IOS (slc) it gets stuck at the same screen.
I've dumped logs from minute but they seem to be old: newer ones are from march even if I used my wii U many times after last march.

Why do you have ISFShax installed? What did you use it for?
Is it possible that you still have it set to coldboot the Payloadloader in the H&S app?
Also the time on the console could be set wrong.

Did you try remove power completely and then turn it on with the power button on the console?

Here is a brief history of my Wii u:
-I bought it last February and it was CBHC bricked. I fixed it with recovery menu and installed aroma.

-In August I've installed ISFShax to use SDUSB. I've followed your tutorial in particular the section undo autobooting and installed wafel_payloader. (At the end I've not installed SDUSB plugin because I didn't have a sufficiently large SD).
After that it worked without any problem for several weeks.

Also the time on the console could be set wrong.

That could be true! I always unplug it(for safety because I use a self built usb-c adapter) and maybe battery could be dead.
Logs 7-18 seem to be related to the period in which I've fixed it and installed aroma. Logs 1-6 are from 2017, they could be logs from it's previous owner before it bricked it, but if time is wrong they could also be the more recent ones!
I will try to extract more logs to better understand the situation.

Did you try remove power completely and then turn it on with the power button on the console?

Yes and it didn't work unfortunately.

Than you very much for your help!

Hm strange problem. Since you disabled the aroma autoboot the coldboot title is already set to the Wii U menu. So setting that like in the other thread won't help you.
But without logs it's hard to tell what's going on.
My only idea would be to reinstall the Wii Menu using the wafel_install.ipx. that would also set the coldboot title. But I don't believe that this will fix your problem.
The other thing you could try would be to run the wafel setup mlc, so it sets the initial launch to launch the initial setup to create a new user.

I've run the wafel_setup_mlc and now everything works. Thanks for your help!

 

[SDIO]

What exactly did you do? Just run the the setup or did you also have titles in the wafel_install folder, so that they were reinstalled?

 

[ononpnrpqcpa]

I have reinstalled all the titles (as in the mlc rebuilding guide).
