Hacking Official wuphax v1.1 - Hacking vWii from WiiU Mode

Someone kill me...

For 8 USD? not a big deal.

Well I did buy a lot of other stuff, with my total, 8 dollars less would've been nice. But yeah, not a great deal, but quite a coincidence...

Does ANYONE know what do I need to do? I'm really stuck on running backup.py, tried already like 6 times

Can you load VWii games from the same SD card used for loadiine or does it have to be from USB?

If you use WiiFlow you can load from SD, yes

Where do i find the ip for the WiiU? So i can change it?

Personally, I found it by going into my router settings and checking what was currently connected to the router. (Many routers are different, but for mine I accessed it by going to 192.168.1.254 in Chrome.)

If you use WiiFlow you can load from SD, yes

If I recall correctly, CFG Loader can also load Wii games from the SD card.

I personally just set my Wii U to use a static ip. That way it won't change and I know what it is.

Where do i find the ip for the WiiU? So i can change it?

instead of "finding" random IP provided by the router to the connected devices, why don't you set your IP yourself to all your devices and remember them?

for example :
computer : 2
3DS : 3
wii : 4
wiiu : 5
PS3 : 6
PS4 : 7
etc.


Go to your console's settings
network settings, skip the "search for new network" with X.
Edit your current network settings
Go to "IP" menu, automatic IP : NO
Set the IP manually.

you will have to know your router's network interface to do that.
On your computer (I assume you are on windows), open a command line window and type ipconfig

The first found interface will be your computer's info:
- IP address : your computer's IP.
- subnet mask : always 255.255.255.0
- gateway : that's what you need !!! on the picture you see it's starting with "192.168.1."
the gateway is your router's IP : 1
the computer IP on that router is : 101

return to your WiiU settings.
automatic IP : NO
manual IP:
WiiU IP : 192.168.1.xxx (put the gateway beginning IP, and choose an IP for your console, replace xxx with a number, for example 2 or 3 : 192.168.1.2)
subnet mask : 255.255.255.0 (always that!)
gateway : your router IP 192.168.1.1

when using manual IP, it will also ask yo to set DNS manually.
set the DNS of tubehax (you should already have them anyway).

Save and do a network connection test to be sure the console can still access internet.
If the router already provided the same IP to another device, it will not work. try another number. But the router should have two different IP range : manual and automatic. it allows you to set manual IP (for example assign IP from 2 to 100) and automatically assign IP to devices without a fixed IP (101 to 150), so unless you already assigned a fixed IP to one of your connected device, you should be free to use any number in the 2-10 range.

Now you know your wiiU IP and it will never change.
note it in a file or just remember it.

How long should it take to download the Mii Channel? it's been going for some 20 minutes and it's only got 2.5 MB, which didn't appear until 10 minutes in.

I don't think that's normal. On my system it only took about 3 minutes on each step to backup the Mii Channel, insert the modified Mii Channel, then restore the original Mii Channel.

Trying to backup all of my save files from a bricked vWii NAND since I can't dump the NAND with it bricked.

You can modify the script a little to do so.

Below are lines 16-26 modified.

        print("Mounted! Navigating to mii channel folder")
        ret = w.cd("/vol/storage_slccmpt01/title/")
        if(ret != 0):
            print("Failed to navigate to mii channel folder!")
        else:
            print("Downloading mii channel executable, this might take a while")
            ret = w.dldir("00010001")
            if(ret == 0):
                print("Success!")
            else:
                print("Failed to download executable!")

This will dump everything in the folder "00010001" which contains all of the installed channel titles.

I know Python but I'm sure people who don't can easily figure it out.

Fun fact: The dumping's about as slow as downloading from an 128 kbit/s Internet connection.

Should the Wii U freeze when downloading the Mii Channel? Is it safe to turn it off when frozen before the Mii Channel is done? How long should it take?

Edit: It's taken over half an hour to download, and it's still not done.

no the wiiu shouldn't freeze, and it shouldn't take more than 10 minutes tops

Thanks!
The wupserver closed due to inactivity a bit after I posted, so I'll try again sometime soon. I restarted the Wii U succesfully, though.

Edit: Tried again, hasn't crashed, (yet) but it's been a bit more than 20 minutes (but now the .app file is there).

Someone kill me...

come on, it is 8, EIGHT dollars. also, using game exploits is a whole lot easier than WUPhax and I think it should be the preferred method for installing HBC for people who want a painlessly easy install.

WUPhax has only 2 advantages
1. Installing HBC using an SDHC card (not a big deal yet as places online sell SD cards under 2GB still)
2. Does not require a Wii Game (als not a big deal a lot of people have Smash Bros. and the other exploit games are cheap to get)

How big (in bytes) is the Mii Channel app file? It's been a hour downloading and I'm sure it's done, even though it says it isn't. Windows says it's 2625056 bytes, or 2.50 MB. The file hasn't been touched for the past 40 minutes.

Edit: Turns out something's wrong with the backup.py... In any case, the channel's installed. Starting restore now.

Edit 2: Restore takes a while. A long while.

im stuck at "mounting vWii NAND" it just stays there and wont load anything else. anyone know what im doing wrong?

How's the vWii on your Wii U? Does it boot? Can it load the Mii Channel?

 

[manuelpop34]

Thanks @FIX94 I'm going to test this.

yeah i tested it and make a mii but it didnt change the outcome

 

[GR-DRACULA]

why it isn't sticked thread? + is there any youtube tutorial?
