Homebrew [How-to] Load a fw.img for Any File Dumping + WiiUBru status update

[OfficialBrony]

Sorry, you're right. Did you follow Cyan's guide to manually install pycrypto?

No, because the site I was told to go on, was only for python 2.6, not what I have (2.7)

Oh look, I am double posting...
I don't care.
Anyways @x65943

Now whenever I try to open those files from the Pastebin tutorial, just a black CMD screen opens and closes for literally a split of a second.

 

[Cyan]

if you see a window opening and closing right away, it means it's not a "double click" program with a GUI but a command line program.
You need to type some command in a command line window, and see what is written there. like you did for python pip update previously.

which program from the pastbin are you trying to launch?

Cyan, are you able to help me with this through a PM?
Sorry for the late response, My dog needed some fresh air
EDIT: These files

EDIT: These files

First add this to your path in your environment variables ;C:\Python27 - that video only had you add scripts (This way you don't have to keep writing out the whole python path e.g. C:/Python27/python.exe)

Then open a command prompt in the folder of the .py you want to run (shift + right click and choose open command window here)

Then type python getfwimg.py. It should run at this point.

I'm sorry, English??
God, I am such a NOOB
EDIT: I figured it out. Here is a picture
Is this good or bad?

 

[Cyan]

these files must not be launched. at least one will not be launched by you directly.
you have to open them in a text editor to edit their content.

once edited, you'll have to launch them using python (not double clicking them)
python filename.py

 

[x65943]

Make your environment variables look like this. I'll bet you only have the python scripts part, and not C:\Python27

Then shift right click to open a command prompt in iosuhax-master/bin

Then in the command prompt type python getfwimg.py

So, you're saying that I have been having an issue, that all this time, I did not even need to worry about???
Wow... I feel SO STUPID...

Make your environment variables look like this.

Then shift right click to open a command prompt in iosuhax-master/bin

Then in the command prompt type python getfwimg.py

Yeah I figured it out, I edited my reply with a screenshot, check it out, because I am confused.

You have to edit them before you can run them. Have you been following the pastebin at all?

# edit some values into two of the scripts:

1. two keys and iv in bin/getfwimg.py
2. one key and iv in scripts/anpack.py

 

[Cyan]

the pastbin has directions only, it's not a guide.
when it says to "edit some values into ..." you should think that you have to open the file to look inside.
when you do, you see at the top of the first one that there's a comment (if you know programmation language, you'd know it's a comment) telling you that you have to fill the missing keys somewhere in the file.
you'll have to find these keys yourself, then put them inside that file at the correct location (that you'll find by reading the file's content).

you do the same with the anpack.py (you have to search mode, because the key you have to add is not at the start of the file, but near the end)


it has been repeated a lot of time, it's not for the end users, it's for users who know what they are doing.
It's probably released a in "not easy" form for a reason.

Though, it's always great to want to learn. sometime you need to look back a little at other things first to understand what you are doing.

for example, if "python" is not a recognized command, you should reinstall python and reboot your computer. It should write to environment variable automatically. If it doesn't, the install is not properly done.
starting by fixing tools that you will use for this fw creation guide will help you in future steps.

Yeah, so how do I edit them?? Also, what keys?? I am doing this because of this guide.

 

[Cyan]

you edit them with a text editor, for example notepad.exe
what keys? when you open the files, it will tell you what keys it needs.

You'll need these keys:

getfwimg.py, near the top of the file
WiiU Common key
Starbuck Wii-U Ancast Key
Starbuck Wii-U Ancast IV

anpack.py, around line 160
Starbuck Wii-U Ancast Key
Starbuck Wii-U Ancast IV


these keys can't be shared here. use google.


I think you shouldn't follow this guide.
You are not ready and you don't even know how to use notepad, you shouldn't try to hack your console.

buy a Wii game (smash bros) and hack the vWii using existing, safe and EASY to follow tutorials.

Am I able to PM you a picture?? I think I may of found them, but I am not too sure. Since I am not allowed to share them, can I PM you?

I found all the keys you told me. Now what?

 

[stardaddler]

Now I have this error, someone know what to do?

 

[Pachee]

Did you add the keys properly?
After installing python 2.7 always:
cd c:\python27\scripts
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install pycrypto

Pycrypto install on 2.7 will always fail if you don't have an updated pip.
