do you have a NAND backup?
Did you get UDPIH to at least load? The LED should turn purple. Maybe you need a few tries with different timing

no friend I don't have the nand back up mine was not modded as well

Yes I've tried udpih but it dosent work system dosent even boots nor gamepad is syncing ...i think udpih method works if atleast system boots ..the led also dosent become purple
Post automatically merged:

As @SDIO said: Try UDPIH some more as timing is tricky. In case this doesn't work and you have no NAND backup... Well...
actually the system dosent boots nor display appears on tv i think this method work atleast when system boots hence it's not working

I've gone through some posts over here i find out many had this same issue bricking power off while updating

@indigenous UDPIH kicks in pretty early in the boot process. As long as your LED turns (solid, not blinking) blue when turning on the Wii U (without UDPIH) and you hear the disc drive making two noises it should work. I say should as still no guarantee but yea: Try it some more with different timing.

Sounds like it's time to invest in raspberry pi and dump the nand and somehow rebuild and replace it...
Is your console bricked? If not you can do a NAND dump without udpih through the browser exploit.
At the moment there isn't a way to do a nand backup from the recovery menu, but I am working on it.
Maybe open a new thread for your problem.
