That's the single biggest mistake you can make with Wii U modding.
Sadly I don't think there's a fix for it.
But hey, at least a bare Wii U with no gamepad and cables is pretty cheap.

damn, man. I'm sorry to hear that. at least all wii u's are hackable, and the gamepad is the most expensive component. drop by ebay and pick up a console only wii u. when 5.3.2 was the latest hackable, I bought one of those (console-only) for $150. the prices have come way down though, so I'd do that.
if you had rednand setup that's a nand backup idk how its stored to extract it or if any stuff is done to it that would make it not restorable, but yeah its probably cheaper/easier to pick up a new console on itself
plus the Wiiu has 2 nand portions, idk if the part rednand clones is the correct nand to restore in this brick case,
EDIT:-here is a video on how to extract rednand anyway, incase you want to try give it a shot anyway, and it looks like rednand has a copy of all nand partitions except vwii I guess

Wow!! This is classic stuff! Don't you know that you can't factory reset with CBHC installed?!?! Read through this entire thread. It was like a good drama/adventure story. Starts out bad. Then all is good after much stressing out. Then it ends with a true brick, and all is very bad again. lol. Amazing. Thanks. This was a good one

Yeah, I never understood the nand backup really. It's way more effort than it's worth to restore a bricked Wii U from a nand back up, especially when you can buy a new console for $60.
thanks. So with these three nands you can hardmod wiiu. If thats correct ill give it a try. Someone please link me a tutorial for hardmod wiiu. Thanx
Edit: i have vWii nand

that's to restore the main data storage, I think this isn't the part that you will need but im not 100% sure where the autostart config is stored i think its in the SLC which is what causes the brick when you have CBHC installed
restoring the SLC is a bit more work, here is some tools that will apparently help you on your quest
https://gbatemp.net/threads/successfully-dumped-wiiu-emmc-nand-with-hardmod.457165/page-8
restoring the SLC requires a teensy to do though

he initially had rednand setup on his SD cards, so assuming he hasn't formatted the SD card he will have a non bricked SLC/MLC to restore to his system, he can then choice to remove CBHC and format his system or just leave it as is
having a little look further,if he has his OTP dumped its probably a more promising outlook using this tool
https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-wii-u-nand-tools.465386/
but again as I have said in his position I would probably just go the route of getting a replacement console unless he wants to try fix it for the challenge of it

Will dig into and let yall know. Thanx
from what I gather yes, if you had your otp too I think that opens up more possibilities too
good luck, and if you did it try not to brick it a third time XD
yeah see from what I gather skimming over all that stuff, the format fix mentioned in the nand tools thread relies on the otp to manually remove the CBHC autoboot, this means your system will be restored to a non bricked state, but unless he has his otp stored that option might not be available to him, it all depends on if he setup rednand before or after installing CBHC, if the slc stored in rednand has cbhc installed it would still be bricked without also restoring the mlc so he will have the corresponding virtual console title installed too
but tbf the mlc part is simple compared to restoring the slc part

You can't do anything to fix your nand without otp.bin. if you have otp.bin you can fix with a teansy. You can dump a messed up seeprom and then repair it with @EyeKeys tools but ONLY if you have a otp.bin so you can decrypt it.
Without otp.bin your wasting your time

It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem. -

the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze -

but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in

There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
-
@
Veho:
But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
-
@
Veho:
Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.

Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need -
