HOW TO UNBAN A WII U [102-2814] (COMPLETE GUIDE)

<<<<<<<<<IMPORTANT>>>>>>>>>

IF YOU HAVE CBHC, you can be unbanned. You just probably have to do it a different way.

Hello! So you maybe came here to get out of the living hell that Nintendo gave you for doing illegal stuff with your console. I won’t criticize you, because I did the same things. But if you want to get unbanned, I will show you how to!

<<<<<<REQUIREMENTS>>>>>
. An SD card (any size above 2 gb).
· Download FTPiiU Everywhere (MAKE SURE IT IS THE EVERYWHERE VERSION), create a folder called “ftpwiiu”, and place it in wii u/apps/ftpwiiu on your SD card.

· Download Filezilla (A free FTP solution for both client and server, so you can connect your Wii U with your computer without hardmod)

<<<<<PROCESS>>>>>
0.5. Launch Mocha CFW or any custom firmware method on the Wii U.

1. Launch FTPiiU on your Homebrew Launcher/Channel (By entering the internet browser or entering the app)

2. Run Filezila and copy the IP address that the Wii U is giving you at the screen.

3. A bunch of folders will appear in the program and the Hombrew Application will do its progress and work. (ALERT: STAY AT FTPiiU)

4. Pick slc/config/sys_prod.xml.

5. Copy the sys_prod.xml file to your desktop, press Edit, and you will see code combinations of the system.

6. Where it says bunch_of_numbers</serial_id>, you must edit at least 1 VALUE on the list of numbers; by that step, you will have a new SERIAL ID!

7. Go to Filezilla and drag the .xml file to the slc/config folder and overwrite the existing file. (DO NOT CHANGE THE NAME OF THE FILE, IT WILL BRICK YOUR CONSOLE IF YOU DO!)

8. Then, get out of FTPiiU and power-off your console. When everything’s done, you have your new UNBANNED WII U! (NOTE: ALL YOUR GAMES AND SAVE DATA YOU HAD IN YOUR CONSOLE WILL STAY, DON’T WORRY)

<<<<<<<As you will see, if you followed the guide, the Wii U Gamepad isn’t synchronized to the main console. The reason is that the Gamepad is linked to a specific SERIAL ID packaged in the box that the Wii U came in. >>>>>>>

8.5. You have to resync the Gamepad by pressing the tiny red button on the controller while turning on; also, while the console on, press the sync button on the Wii U 2 times so it gives the Gamepad instructions.

9. When the Gamepad is synched, go to your user and it will say: “You cannot use this Nintendo Network ID on this console”

· While the error message is onscreen, hold down the X button AND Y button, and tap “OK.”

· You will receive a message that the NNID link has been removed. Tap “OK” to access the HOME Menu.

· The account can now be used as a local account (no NNID association), re-linked to the same NNID, or deleted.

10. Create a new Nintendo Account (do not worry, all your games and save files will be safe) and link it to your user without NNID.



<<<<<<< AND… YOU’RE DONE. YOU CAN NOW PLAY ONLINE AGAIN! IT IS NOT SIMPLE AND SOME COULD HAVE BRICKED THEIR CONSOLES. BUT TO THE PEOPLE THAT FINISHED THE PROCESS SUCCESFULLY, CONGRATULATIONS! >>>>>>>>>

<<<< AND REMEMBER, DO NOT HACK IN ONLINE GAMES AGAIN. MAKE NIN10DO PROUD TO HAVE CLEAN USERS THAT ENJOY THEIR GAMES. >>>>>>>

Did I miss something? Are Wii U cfw users now being banned like on the 3DS? Or is this just about cheating online and stuff?

Just by cheating or using hacks. The Wii U is dead by now, but the servers are not. So you might get banned by that.

well, I guess there's probably some overlap to my tutorials too - Pinky's PS3 Tutorials, 360 Tutorials, and PS4 Tutorial. I don't think I posted my 3DS or Wii U tutorials for that reason. though, I did add a new Wii U tutorial - deleting a fake ticket - which I haven't seen on here despite multiple people knowing how to do that. lol

So , if i got banned in one game only , could this still work?
Also , what are the chances of bricking the console?.
I tried this months before I did the tutorial and I was only banned from Splatoon. And your console could brick if you change anything else that I quoted in the tutorial.

Yep. Only if you don't have cbhc

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Why will CBHC users brick their console? Or isn't it tested yet?
It'll mess up the programming of ColdBoot and brick your console, since CBHC is a new nand that the Wii U was modified with.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

also last question i swear to god sorry ;;
i just edited like 3 numbers of my serial , i didnt added any number , is that okay?
Indeed. You have to EDIT the numbers, not add numbers. Good on you!

And if you did anything wrong, just move the xml file again from Filezilla and edit the serial again natively.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
