Corrupted MK8 data

[n8lol]

So I'm very new to hacking and, not even a week in and I corrupted my Mario Kart 8 data. The game says I have corrupted dlc so I would try to delete the data from my usb, but it brings up a USB error. Since I only hacked it and installed Mario games that I "lost" years back, I have no knowledge of what I need to do. Can anyone help? (Being the stupid person I am, I downloaded the dlc AND updates from the usb helper so thats what happened. I also have a legit MK8 disc.)

You could try to delete it manually with ftpiiu everywhere. Or you just use a second USB, copy everything else over and format the old one

Just use NUSplii to reinstall the dlc. It will install/overwrite the corrupted one fixing the issue with a fresh install.

Are you using Tiramisu or Aroma ?
If Aroma it is, wich version ? (https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-aroma-environment-for-wii-u.618474/post-10073262)

You should try to also install Tiramisu and see if it works using Tiramisu.

Another thing that could cause "false data corruptions" issues with tiramisu and Aroma (who failed to write on a readonly sdcard ???) specially with an error on saves data but afterward, i'm really wondering it wasn't related to my DLC corruption issue too... : https://gbatemp.net/threads/sd-card-write-protected.469256/post-10041268 (set a bit of thin tape on the SD card lock. Note that this last issue is not with your SDCard but with the internal Wii-U reader device)

Hope it helps...

same issue and trying that didint work.

Same question. Tiramisu or Aroma? Do you have sigpatch at the right place? OP used usb helper and messed up, is that what you did? They also made 1 post and never come back.

More details would help when it comes to stuff like this.

tiramisu, sigatch is in the correct place, i use usb helper. my problem is that i cant delete the corrupted data (when i reinstall the game through NUSplii it gives a red screen once i get to replacing the corrupted file) and deleting it in the wii u data manager doesnt work

What is the red screen saying exactly? What is data management saying?

im reinstalling the dlc so i can get the red screen and check what it says, but for now i know that data management says
"The data could not be deleted" when i try to remove the corrupted data

@seanbhz What kind of USB storage is this (HDD, SSD, stick, SD in adapter, ...) ?

its an external hdd (using y cable)

external hdd

Other things work perfectly fine I guess? Just a shoot into the blue but this might be a corrupted filesystem.

Take this, please:

Spoiler

Edit line 30 so it contains the IP of your Wii U (no need to change the port). Now start it with python -i wupclient.py - this should give you a command prompt. Now at that prompt enter w.dump_syslog() while NUSspli shows the red screen. Copy&paste as much of the log as possible. Exit wupclient with exit().

The file system is probably damaged. If you have another HDD you can temporarily use, I would recommend copying everything else over and then format the HDD.
Else you could use ftp to move the corrupted directory alway, like we do it with MLC corruption

im currently using ftp and when i try deleting the file it refuses to delete a folder in it called (link), says
"could not retrieve directory listing
success"

 

[SDIO]

Probably a corrupted directory, the only way to get rid of that is to format. Else you can only move it

When you do the wupclient stuff, just to be sure that it isn't a permission problem, you could try setting the permissions

I agree with SDIO. Would still be nice to see the log (even better: After trying to delete via FTP) to confirm 100%.

Then I would suggest to backup saves ( https://github.com/Xpl0itU/savemii/releases ), reformat the HDD, reinstall all the games and revert the saves. This will be a lot of work through, so I would really suggest to grab the syslog first, so we can confirm it's really a corruption (could still be a underpowered HDD, even if chances are low).
