My Wii U got bricked

Hi,

I writing this post rn on my Nintemdo switch couse I dont get my Wii U to run. It has bricked after I made a mistake with homebrewing. I will try to get it to run again tomorrow. And if I dont get it to run again, I have trashed the console.


See u

But if u want what happen, I explain it now

I wanted to use CBHC instead of mocha CFW. After installing it, I wanted to reboot the console but it came a blackscreen with the Message
Im Zusammenhang mit dem Speicher der Wii U Konsole ist ein Fehler aufgetreten

with the error code

not sure what you could've done, but there's a post by Fix94, who made cbhc, that says sometimes in very rare cases it doesn't install. however, I'm pretty sure it doesn't brick. you just have to redo it.

you might need a hardware flasher now. you need a NAND backup from before cbhc installation or the otp.bin to decrypt the nand to fix the problem. Nand from before or otp for after the install -- one or the other.

@godreborn and what I have to do than
 
godreborn
you need your otp.bin, decrypt the nand (slc.bin) with a teensy (hard mod with some solder points connected, so it's not quite so many --maybe 30 or less), then use nandcbhcremover on the nand to fix it. if you can't solder, buying a new system would probably be cheaper than having someone repair it. I think some connections are micro solder, so you have to be pretty proficient.

Does anyone actually restore the nand? Like you said seems easier to just buy another

I've been trying to brainstorm some ideas for a safe cbhc, one of which is using wup. with wup's fw.img, you can ftp from the home menu.
 
godreborn
@TotorrRuns , it's just an idea atm. you originally could install haxchi with wup from the home menu, but it's really slow. it could take minutes to upload something that's a few megabytes. I was thinking if we could inject that code to make it permanent, would it work even if not on the home menu? I still don't know what exactly happens when you brick with cbhc.
 
godreborn
I don't know if wup would work not being on the menu. however, on the ps3, if you brick (soft brick) to where it freezes on the xmb, you can usually still fix it through ftp.

@godreborn but than is the problem that the ftp is a homebrew program and I cant boot to the wii u menu to do the web exploit
