Wii U bricks 101

"Oh crap, my Nintendo Wii U stopped working, call ambulance!"
"Wii U Wii U Wii U Wii U" - Forgive me for this pun but anyways....

Wii U is a fragile console, yet some people don't understand that and keep doing stuff which is guaranteed to brick it.
You know what's worse? Wii U is getting even more expensive as time passes.
Nah, not that... that people do most obvious shit that is guaranteed to brick it.

Very common bricks which are idiotic as hell:
  • Formatting Wii U without uninstalling CBHC
  • Removing CBHC'd game
  • I felt like installing a Brain Age using Wup Installer. Oh look, my console doesn't boot anymore! Oh noooo!
  • Let me modify that one file in FTPiiU and.... it doesn't boot anymore.
  • Ravioli Ravioli, Let me fill that NANDeroni. [500MB left on NAND = Ultimate corruption]
  • I love to life in danger AKA. No NAND dump
  • I installed SysConfigTool [System app version] on sysNAND and guess what! A-b-s-o-l-u-t-e-l-y nothing! [System Error message on boot because system apps can't be fake signed afaik]
  • I sail the seas of darkness, found that wup installer, time to install illegitimate DS VC so i can install CBHC over it!

Wii U Soft-bricks:
  • My Wii U became a Portable Brain Age player [Aka. I reinstalled CBHC'd game and my Wii U became a damn mini-game]
  • Typo while doing a RegionHax and now nothing works
  • I tried to rewrite my SEEPROM... Hey, Wii U.... boot.... um... what is even happening? [Hard-brick]
Common vWii bricks:
  • Priiload it to the death! Crap, it corrupted my vWii...
  • Wii and vWii? That's the same thing! Let me install couple of Wii cIOSe-Blackscreen? Where i'm?
  • This theme is so hot that it bricked my vWii menu!
  • I don't need to dump NAND! I'm an expert! Trust me, i'm a dolphin! [And that's how people screw up their vWii afterwards]
  • I wuphaxxed my Mii Channel 500 times and now it doesn't work. [Pro tip: Press A once, not 5000 times]
  • vWii doesn't work? Delete contents off it in slccmtp01 folder! It will recreate itself, totally! /s
And that's how basically people brick. Tell them not to do it, they will do it anyways. Ya know, 'I know better!' then there's that one user which will make a post about 'So i followed this guide and um i brick'd'
Think. Before. You. Do. Shit. Seriously, Wii U is a fragile console and any heavy modifications can even hard-brick it.
And that's all i had to say.

Brick and you're going to be on that list: wiiubru.com/rip

Expect that you're forced to play logical game till your console trips over itself. :P

People need to read...read again and read one more time and hell even watch videos before they do something they have never done before; this is especially true if they are unwilling to risk what they are modding.
