Who bricked his console? (just asking) (i'm not one of them )

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I have found a compiled version of fw.img on the wild internet. would this be working fine for me?

Quoted @NWPlayer123 on this. "The last thing I want to hear is I found a wild fwimg on the internet" sorry I couldn't find the famous picture of the quote. No do it your self. Don't trust it. It could brick your Wii U

pretty sure it's not the correct one.

I think this is the officially extracted firmware from WiiU system files.
it's not patched to get WUPserver.

this is the "base" firmware file to use when you "make" (compile) IOSU hack repository.


look at the readme, or at the sources, there are the CRC32 for the two files you found. You can at least check if they are good.
edit:
# insert keys here, your keys were set correctly if the crc32 of the fw.img
# is d674201b and the crc32 of the fw.img.full.bin is 9f2c91ff in the end

From the looks of it, that's what you get when you run "getfwimg.py" - that's not the rednand fw.img made from the makefile. Was that in a bin folder?

 

[CosmoCortney]

Was that in a bin folder?

yes

 

[x65943]

yes

The makefile will spit out the patched fw.img into the main folder. If you find a pre-compiled rednand fw.img it will most likely be in a folder called "iosuhax" (the main folder) with bin, scripts, patches etc. subfolders.

The fw.img in bin is the file that the makefile uses as a base to produce a modified fw.img in the main directory.

I guess it's this one:

 

[x65943]

Yup. That looks just like the directory after the makefile has run successfully.

I just compiled it too (the WUP server only, not the one with sigpatch) and got fw.img CRC32 adfd8ad5.
Not sure if it's a good one, I didn't see any final CRC32 in the readme.


thanks to Fix94's armips
oh and I also got 0x50000000.bin from another pack, not sure I needed it but it was in the makefile so I added that file to the section folder.
but I'm a little behind, I just compiled WUPServer while this thread is for redNAND, sorry

 

[CosmoCortney]

well, found it on a YT video posted a few hours ago. the descriptions refers to the [HOW-TO] Setup redNAND w/ Sigpatches thread. So I assume it's the latest one. I just don't want to risk a brick :/

 

[dydel]

Hello. I edited the tik sys.bin and meta.xml files. I paste createMaster.cmd into directory with my decrypted game, next I enter the name of executable ( DuckTales.rpx ), but the new folder ("CopytoSDcard" ) is empty. Somebody can help me?

 

[eric_ruas]

Just wanted to share the output of my compiled file. I've also compiled armips prior to running the makefile.

fw.img
Size: 14,684,672
CRC-32: 59CBD6A1
MD-5: 55ddc0d6f3df3e11b54fedee719f6cf7

So you were dumping your nand from the sd to your computer and "it threw a write failure"?

Are you trying to extract your nand or inject it?

extract the nand for backup

 

[x65943]

extract the nand for backup

Make sure you extract the exe from the zip before use, and run as administrator.

what happens if it keeps saying writing failure. unless its the partition of the hard drive i am wondering

Did SLC and SLCCMPT dump successfully?

 

[SoraXL]

Did SLC and SLCCMPT dump successfully?

SLC &SLCCMPT dump at 512MB both

 

[x65943]

SLC &SLCCMPT dump at 512MB both

MLC is 31,268,536,320 B. I haven't had your problem.

I wonder if you have a bad nand dump. Does rednand boot it successfully?
