Hacking Wiiu Nand Dump

[mariogamer]

why the wii u nand dump doesn't possible like the xbox one?the xbox one nand are dumped in few month after the release,why not the wii u?

Because you have not been working on it. This shit isnt going to hack itself!!

In addition to my previous post: #40

We can also just get a much more available Teensy 2.0++ and use NANDway:
https://github.com/hjudges/NORway/blob/master/NANDway_README.txt

It can both read and write to the PS3 NAND, which, along with the XBOX 360 is the same or similair to the Wii's NAND.

So.. let us order a Teensy. (I got a Teens 1.0, but that one isn't gonna cut it)

Oh nice, it is even documented.

Thanks!

I wanted to throw in my 2 cents. I tried this. I did not try a 50ohm resistor, though. I used the Anker that works for all models of 3DS's. It would detect, but that's where the good ended. I wound up with the format disk popup twice. Win32diskimager would detect the drive. When I tried to dump I would get a disk is not large enough error and a 0KB file. I even tried both sides of the resistors, because the points on the 3DS are before the resistor array. It wouldn't even detect that way.

I am now without a WiiU as I sold it to help with rent in a time of need. I will be replacing it soon. If a way is found and tested, I will add it to my 3DS services.

@hashcheck1 and @xXDungeon_CrawlerXx claim to have dumped their eMMC with the method from Reboot.ms.

The NAND is an dual 512mb chip with both the Wii and WiiU system storage, as is explained here:
http://wiiubrew.org/wiki/TSOP_NAND

(I first thought that there were checks in place between the eMMC and NAND software versions, hah.)

I also originally tried to solder the SD card reader set up before the resistors, on the other side of the board. No luck, but that might also could have been the SD Card reader I guess.

So did the guy at the other site, but what about this makes sense?

Quoted from xX Dani Xx:
Could you send me some pictures of the wii u's screen while it's backupping?

Quoted from RyujiAndy:
I'm sorry but the wiiu wasn't connected to the tv and the pad couldn't connect

Messed up quote

Yeah, that's true, indeed.
I already asked hashcheck1 for more info about his progress.

But we are missing some proof or actual footage of it, yes.

Yeah. I would like some proof. I did it as per the instructions and it didn't work for me. I also have done many 3DS mods for this community, so pardon me for tooting my own horn, but I'm pretty sure I know my way around my variable temp soldering station. If I find solid proof, I will reassert myself towards expanding my services to cover the WiiU.

As do I.

I am gonna try the SD card reader theory. It seems to be legit for the N3DS eMMC.
https://gbatemp.net/threads/n3ds-nand-backup-possible-i-hope.381506/

Then again I used a similar card reader as hashcheck1 did on his N3DS on my WiiU:
https://gbatemp.net/threads/n3ds-nand-backup-possible-i-hope.381506/page-38#post-5589987

But the casing for that card reader has been used by multiple manufacturers, so I don't know which chip set mine has, compared to his.


Just ordered a Teensy++ 2.0 for the (dual)NAND dumping.
I hope to receive both the eMMC sdcard reader and the Teensy early/midway next week.

I have the Anker that is recommended in that thread, and have since tested it on all model 3DS's.

Yea, that's the SD Card reader I am gonna use to dump the Wii U's eMMC. (I hope.)

Have you tried that one on the Wii U?

 

[hundshamer]

That is the one that I tested with and had no dice.

 

[Adr990]

... Jikes.
I wonder what hashcheck and xXdungeonXx blabbed about in that case.

Well if the NAND dump is successful, I wonder how much we can do with it.
Is it useful for downgrading with out the storage eMMC...

You can downgrade your Wii U by rewrite the eMMC NAND + the 512MB NAND (vWii).
You need to dump/restore both NANDs for a successfull update/downgrade

Yea, we've been through that in the last few posts.

We are both however unable to dump the eMMC with an SD Card reader so far...

I was able to dump the Wii U NAND already but I can't dump the vWii NAND :/
I need something like an Infectus

No, hold up.

Read this:
http://wiiubrew.org/wiki/TSOP_NAND
Someone via IRC did this recently, and documented it to that page.

The Wii U NAND and vWii NAND are the same chip. Just two different banks in the chip.
You can use something like an Teensy++ 2.0 with NANDway, as described on the TSOP_NAND page.

The eMMC chip, which we indeed should be able to dumped via an SD Card reader, is solely used for Wii U Storage. So downgrading with that alone wouldn't even be possible, let alone do any good without the actual NAND dump.

Btw, which SD Card reader did you use to dump the eMMC?
Do you have pics of your set up?

 

[mariogamer]

can anyone post images of the wii u theardown and the micro sd adaptator teardown and the welding of the wire?(completely)
