 Posted: Sun, 23rd Oct 2016 05:40 Post subject: [WiiU] Scene finally on fire |
|
 |
If anyone has been following, finally the WiiU scene is on fire.
We can now download games directly from Nintendo's servers, then use a modified wupinstaller + a modified .tik file to install directly to official WiiU external USB.
There is also the basic capability to load a custom firmware image from SD card, but as of now, there isn't much reason to (other than folks getting the .tik files above to share).
Finally, good times to own a WiiU to grab the few games that were worth playing, without the hassle and limitations of Loadiine. 
I've had a 500GB external USB drive sitting around for this very purpose. Right now downloading and installing!

Yea,the Wiiu Security is pretty fucked up even more then PS3... I think there is even a method to get the encrypted keys..
But honestly,I hope more focus will shift to the other consoles-Xbone,and PS4 of course.. The time has come!

Do we still have to use the Kernel exploit and then Loadiine?
I'm on 5.3.2

I tried to hack my Wiiu with loadiine a few months ago and it was brutally difficult, - real pain and I just gave up.
Do you still have to mess around with HTTP servers / loading weird websites every time you want to launch a game?! Or is it properly and easily hacked now?
Any recommended guides if so?

I used KaflukeHost (Android AIO PHP-server APK for self hosting) and it takes maybe 5 minutes to set it up. Just look it up on gbatemp, very easy.

Can't say it was difficult, but it was annoying. Some games had some serious loading times, so i gave up in the end too.

Yah, right on. Loadiine was frustrating, but this method is like installing a legit title to legitly formatted external usb. That's why it's so much better!
You still need to connect to exploit through browser, to run modified wupinstaller, which then grabs a specified 'install' folder off your SD card, and installs the game officially to usb.
My personal setup is my WiiU connected to a router/network that is not connected to the internet at all, and on that same offline network, I have a simple machine running that hosts the exploit.
If I ever need to go online, I just add my real home network, do whatever, then completely erase the connection settings and leave it on the offline 'hax' network.
The games are indeed slim pickings, but there's definitely a few solid titles in there.
Titles I own:
* Super Mario 3D World -- AWESOME.
* Mario Kart 8 -- AWESOME.
* Super Smash Bros. -- AWESOME.
* Super Mario Maker -- Pretty damn good.
* Nintendoland -- Good fun with several people!
* New Super Mario Bros. U -- Excellent game in the series.
* Wii Party U -- Just good fun.
Games I've wanted to play but never got around to purchasing:
* LEGO City Undercover
* Splatoon
* Pokken Tournament
* Paper Mario Color Splash
* Star Fox Zero
* Yoshi's Woolly World
* Pikmin 3
* Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
* Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD
* Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
* Hyrule Warriors
* Xenoblade Chronicles X
* The Wonderful 101
* Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
Going to have a good time with these titles officially installed to USB and not the funkiness of Loadiine.
And of course the extra fun part is being able to get the official files straight from Nintendo servers, then find the modified 1KB .tik file to install with.

Great once you get it all setup.
Play installed games right from the main menu.. So much better for my son.
Updated my 5.3.2 to the latest firmware and the exploits never fail now.

Oh I've done all that stuff mate. I'm running loadliine fine, but this new Brazillian method is a better method I guess?
I've just got into playing Yoshi's Woolley World and some of the loads are pretty slow, and sometime don't load at all. So I'm hoping that installing to the main menu will speed things up!
I guess it's too soon to see any good tutorials for the new hack.
**Edit
Just seen this topic https://gbatemp.net/threads/wii-u-usb-loading-install-wiiu-games-to-usb-or-internal-memory.445514/
and it mentions about the installation of eshop games and their tickets... and not to ask where to download tickets... eh?

Right so if you have an app folder on your SD card, you just need to add the modified wupinstaller to allow installing with the modified tickets.
You also dowload contents direction from nintendo using NUSgrabber, then you add all files from a single game to the "install" folder on SD Card, add the modified .tik file for that game to the folder also, then boot wupinstaller using exploit-> homebrew launcher.
Install game when prompted.

Read this info this morning, have games on USB drive right now. Played Minecraft online for first time from usb external! Wow! Been using loadiine, but this + online play is the best. Filling up my 2TB drive now. Will take some time to run nusgrabber and then download from Nintendo.. Guess I don't need my 200GB SD card anymore ...

| Quote: | redNAND: Team WiiUBrU shares status on IOSU exploit progress for Wii U 5.5.x, releases CFW Booter
Team WiiUBrU is a collective of Wii U hackers that has been working on the recently released IOSU exploit for Wii U 5.5.x. The exploit that was released a few days ago had been the holy grail of Wii U hacking for a while, but its release did not open all gates. The exploit was initially released “as is” with little to accompany it for the end user. Several people have been working on this, and team WiiUBrU have recently shared their progress.
The CFW redNAND is not there yet for 5.5.x, but “soon”.
WiiUBrU released a CFW Booter yesterday, a tool that will leverage the IOSU exploit to boot redNAND. This tool is great progress, but as the team states, is not useful until the CFW itself is ready. They have however released instructions for people to create a “light” Custom firmware that will allow to confirm the exploit works, with minimal functionality (it lets you dump some files through IOSU access).
There’s a lot in motion and none of this is ready for the “End user”. The WiiUBrU team say their work is publicly available for those who want to try at their own risk, and that they welcome people willing to help, in particular:
There’s been “rumors” spreading about our team, and some people even go as far as to call this typical developer arrogance/elitism. It is not that. If you know where to look, and you are willing, you can find us, talk with us, test this stuff out. It’s not ready for end users. Don’t blindly run it. If you’re brave and willing to get your hands a tad dirty come talk to us.
And before I say more, our current RedNand progress does not currently allow installation of unsigned tiles. It cannot be used install homebrew titles, only signed ones. It is actively still being worked on! So yes, we have redNand. We have NAND dumps. You could too, but don’t take that as a challenge! Come and chat with us. If you don’t want to get your hands dirty, wait for somehthing official either from us or Salt. Again, we have not cracked title installation so right now RedNand isn’t very useful to the non-developer!
Also, the reason we are not releasing a NAND dumper right now is the backup format is pretty glitchy (dumps fail, writes raw bytes to hardcoded values on SD, ec). Again, if you’re willing, stop on by and work on it with us. Otherwise, this shouldn’t be interesting to anyone.
And for the hopefully near future, you will also want a 64GB sd card or bigger if you have a 32GB console. You don’t have to worry when we say soon™ cause all the work is already out there if others want to pick it up. The way it should be. We also have no info on a coldboot hack, but if anyone has any suggestions or ideas, hit us up!
Download Wii U 5.5.x IOSU exploit and CFW Booter
You can download WiiUBru team’s work at the source link below. Again, in the current state, this is not useful to the end user, except as a proof of concept |

redNAND, Mocha, etc, all useless really.
Dismantled my offline self-hosted hax network this evening.
Installed HaxChi, went fine, immediately installed CBHC, went fine.
Now my system autoboots HaxChi when the system starts and does sig patches, allowing me to install whatever the fuck I want.
Snagged uTikDownloadHelper, input Title Key Database site and now I can download whatever the hell straight from Nintendo and install officially to System USB.
Doesn't get much better than that.

you were brave st00z. Because if you hadn't read instructions properly you could have bricked your Wii U.
It's extremely risky to modify system.xml for it to autoboot to the homebrew channel instead of the Wii U menu.
But eventually you did great

Indeed, read about all the risks.. Actually didn't sound that bad.
Really it's just unplugging your USB drives (if any), and making sure you had working HaxChi first. Now I just have to make sure I don't ever fuck with that VC title that is hacked, otherwise I will brick.  Guess you can't even MOVE it on the home menu. But that's fine, it has a big scary icon and everything.
Heard lots of problems with redNAND and other fw fw.img solutions, but they all seem useless to me when all I needed was the sig patches, so avoided all that trouble too.
@WaldoJ,
haha, pretty straightforward really. Be on system 5.5.1, then basically you grab HaxChi from here:
https://github.com/FIX94/haxchi/releases
(Ignore CBHC for now).
Make sure you have one of the hackable VC games installed on SysNAND (basically before you do ANY of this just unplug any USB or other external drives):
https://github.com/FIX94/haxchi/blob/master/installer/src/gameList.h#L14-L102
Then just arrange your SD card like normal (root/wiiu/apps/) and make sure homebrew launcher and haxchi installer are in there.
Load up loadiine.ovh in your browser and keep trying to launch homebrew launcher.
Pick HaxChi installer and it will find your relevant hackable VC game, push the buttons to make it so!
If successful, you'll now have a HaxChi icon on your system menu, and your VC title will be dead. Launch this whenever you want sig patches or to run homebrew, no more need for browser exploit! From what I've read, never ever move this icon or delete it straight from system menu or anything, just leave it there forever.
If you get that far, then you can thnk about CBHC, which is stupid easy to install, but has high risk if you goof it up.

HaxChi is pretty much 1 click and no risk, and eliminates the need for the browser exploit, AND easily gives you sig patches so you can install any title + any DLC.
CBHC is simply a way to run HaxChi and send you back to System Menu upon boot. It's a nice to have and not necessary at all. You just have to remember to run HaxChi every time you want to use stuff you've installed each time you boot.

So what is ultimately the best way to hack a WiiU?
This whole downloading directly from Nintendo sounds... dumb... won't they log your IP?

I just have loadiine.ovh set as starting page on my wii u browser and an sd card full of wii u games, whole think took me like 5 minutes to set up, minus downloading the games, nothing was ever easier to hack than the wiiu, cant even call it hacking anymore.
Any further hack is meaningless to me since I already finished the few really good games on it, there just wasn't much there.
