Hacking Homebrew OMG - I need help - may have stuffed my Wii u ‘upgrading’ to tiramisu!

[pdiddy007]

Hi all

Long term lurker - and only occasional poster. I think I stuffed up badly and need help!!!

To provide context - hacked my Wii U in 2017 via the Wii u hacks guide website. it’s running 5.5.1. It has Haxchii (via exploitable virtual console game) and via that I would load Mocha CFW. This is what the guide recommended at the time. Everything worked brilliantly until recently. We renovated our house and so I had packed away my Wii U for over year and am now trying to get it running again. Upon starting it up, mocha wouldn’t ‘load’ and there would be an error when I tried to play a game.

I went searching for a solution and everything I read said upgrade to tiramisù. So I did. I followed the Wii u hacks guide and ended up uninstalling haxchii and following the guide perfectly. I was excited to try my games again but it’s not working. I’m now coming up with an error saying “the software cannot be used - the Nintendo network id used to purchase this software has been deleted”.

What. Have. I. Done. I’m bitterly upset - the console is set up just how I like it and it took ages to get it to this stage.

Please please please does anyone have any advice on how to fix it???

Hmm... Something might be wrong with the sigpatches.

The good news is, every kind of brick can be recovered from on a Wii U now without a hardmod. Though this doesn't appear to be a brick exactly.

How do I find out if it’s the sig patches. I have now tried a new SD card and three different guides (including Wii hacks guide). Everything like it says this

It's either sig patch related or the ticket is missing.

What can I do if the ticket is missing. Never used to be like that with the haxchii/mocha hack I used to use

Do you have sig patches rpx on the sd card?

 

[Dust2dust]

Worst case scenario, just re-install Haxchi? I never used Tiramisu myself, since Haxchi always just worked! I don't want to fix something that isn't broken. Note: Haxchi includes sigpatches, so no need to use Mocha on top of it.

Thing is, Tiramisu works even better than Haxchi, with none of the user-error brick risk if you were using CBHC.
For this situation, install NUSspli, and launch it from HBL.
Press A, and just reinstall the games you have.
I'd rather just make new fake tickets, but I don't know how to do that on a Wii U..

I’ve unzipped the suggested file as per Wii u hacks and put it in the correct directory but still not working

on wiiu hacks guide, there is a additional signpatch file you have to download separately if it's not downloaded, and put it in, /wiiu/environments/tiramisu/modules/setup. the download can be found on the sd Preparation page.
given that I'm not seeing a error code. It looks like the ticket for whatever title you downloaded got janked. If you can, just reinstall the title as that should fix the ticket.

Good Morning.

hacked my Wii U in 2017

Do you maybe have used RedNAND before ?

And hopefully,you have used this Guide for your Steps:

I’m guessing maybe I did use rednand - I’m not good with the terminology but I did use the wiiuhacks guide many years ago and had to load mocha CFW after first selecting haxchii. Sounds ridiculous now cause haxchii works on its own but that was what was done at the time.

And I did use that guide

 

[Alexander1970]

Thank you.

I’m guessing maybe I did use rednand

So that is maybe the "Issue":
There is something "left or missing" on your WiiU´s SysNAND and/or RedNAND.. (I presume your Games was installed to an USB Device / RedNAND) ) and that´s why it keep´s your Games from working.....maybe.

Please try to boot Mocha or Haxchi (you still have it ?) and start One of these Games - It should be working.

or better

Please try to re-install one of your previously used / working Games - It should be working too.

Good Luck.

Interesting theory, yes, it's a missing ticket if that's the case. I think you can import tickets from rednand to sysnand if that's the problem.

 

[godreborn]

He can check if his sd card has a segment of unallocated space, use sdio on the slc portion to extract it, use nand dumper on sysnand to dump the otp.bin, use wii nand extractor on slc dump and otp.bin, extract the rights folder, lastly inject the tickets into the equivalent folder.

Sorry for responding to this late. But if you're going to suggest NUSspli, then you should probably also mention the version number which doesn't require Tiramisu to already be installed (correctly anyway). Because if I recall in it's current state, it requires Tiramisu's working sigpatches for 1.95 and the unofficial 1.96 needs a mocha payload used by Tiramisu.

This comment may be irrelevant, if so just ignore it.
