Hacking Gaming Homebrew Can you change your Wii U serial number?

[Sheeba-]

I was wondering if you could change your Wii U serial number. I have seen somewhere that you could but I forgot where I saw it.

Yes, I think it's in sysprod.xml. that's in config folder on root of slc partition.

What software do I need to access that file?

 

[godreborn]

It's just an xml file, so you can use notepad++.

No like what do I need to get that file from the Wii U? Do I need a FTPiiU or something else?

It depends on your exploit though.

I use tiramisu would it work with that?

You may have to use ftp server. Ftpiiueverywhere is for Haxchi and Mocha. I don't know if it works with Tiramisu.

If I ran Mocha before doing it I would be fine right?

I'm not sure. The app called ftp server should work. Just make sure you don't try using the aroma version. Try this https://github.com/Laf111/WiiUFtpServer/releases

No. Never run one CFW over another... Esp as Mocha is included in Tiramisu (the one included is just way more modern than the standalone one).

So after I'm done with changing the number do I restart the console or not exit the homebrew launcher? What do I do?

Hello again. I'm thinking about changing my serial number now. Are you sure its safe if I do everything correctly? And none of my save data or games are gonna get deleted?
