Hacking autoboot to haxchi without risks of bricking

[kisamesama]

I haven't followed the scene for quite some time now... last time I checked autobooting to haxchi had risks of bricking if you format your system, delete the haxchi/ds game etc...
is there a brick safe method of autobooting to haxchi now?

CBHC autoboots haxchi already

CBHC autoboots haxchi already

so there are no new methods? it is still only CBHC?

Only Cold Boot Haxchi... and I seriously don't recommend it. better be safe than sorry.

CBHC is very safe imo. When you follow the rules.

Correct.

I am not the only one using the wii u.. so I better not put CBHC on it if there are risks of bricking

It is safe as long as you don't use a pirated ds vc title, moving the title to usb, delete the game, remove the user which bought the game or format the console with installed cbhc. I use it since one or two years with no problems.

yeah those are the risks.. as I said I am not the only one using the wii u. So, I can't take the risks.. I will wait (if it ever comes out) for a safer solution.

There is a boot1 exploit. But this one is not so convinient like cbhc. Because it is a warmboot exploit iirc. And we all know the wii u is not the fastest console at boot.

Holy moly. Now i know what you mean with this statement. Then you should use either the regular haxchi, or use a pin before entering the data management.

If you are worried about the brick risk associated with CBHC, then you should just use Haxchi (or, if you haven't already purchased a DS game, the internet browser + Mocha).

There is a boot1 exploit that could possibly be turned into a very low-risk coldboot solution without the need for a DS game, but nobody has gotten around to doing that yet.

thx for all your replies. I prefer not to install the CBHC ... furthermore tbh I will probably forget what CBHC is installed in the future and mess up with it cuz I very rarely use the WII U
I also have a softmodded wii and I want to sell it but I need to format the wii but I don't know if this will result in a brick; I have no idea what hacks I installed on it.. I forgot everything...

 

[BaamAlex]

A softmodded wii or wii u? Wii with softmods...can be safely formatted. A wii u with the regular haxchi...can safely be formatted.

I have both lol.. a softmodded wii which I wanna sell and a sofmodded wii u which I currently use.
Does formatting a softmodded wii also removes the hacks?

 

[BaamAlex]

Yes.

CBHC, you wont brick unless you just fail to follow some really simple instructions.
