What's the question?
  • Is it save to install the 5.5.6 update ? Yes.
  • Can I install the update while the update folder is deleted? No.
  • Will my Wii U die? Not as long as you won't kill it.
  • Can I go online? Sure!

I made the transition today from Haxchi to tiramisu, then disabled update block, go to settings to update to 5.5.6, it begins updating for awhile then during update it shows the error code 162-4065, wont turn off so i have to eventually unplug, turn it back on and loads into the wii u menu fine(besides the annoying update required popup), load a virtual console title(gamecube) but now it shows the 9999 error.... I followed all the advice, followed steps to a T, but idk how to fix it and also when i hold x now on startup it doesnt load into the tiramisu menu thing. The damn subreddit is down too and there was tons of valuable information that i couldnt access. Been a rough day with this shit

Did you install sigpatches and put them into correct folder? See https://wiiu.hacks.guide/

32 Gb model? As the update didn't complete I'd install and run WiiUIdent and if Hynix nand chip grab the logs from the system using for example UDPIH or FTPiiu everywhere checking them for errors.

Never sa this before and Nintendo is all other than helpful:

Error Code: 162-4065​

Applies to: Wii U Deluxe, Wii U Basic

The information in this article can help you when you're unable to complete a system update and the system displays the error code 162-4065.

What to do​

This indicates an issue with the Wii U console.
Nintendo no longer offers factory repairs for the Wii U console, the Wii U GamePad, or Wii U accessories. You may find our information on replacement and upgrade options helpful.
So yea, do what lwiz said and grab logs, this seems to be the only way to see what's going on behind the scenes. It might be enough to use the browser exploit from homebrew access, then using Wii U FTP Server to grab the logs in case you have no device to run UDPIH from.
