How to Hack your WiiU
aka, me plagerizing from wiiu.hacks.guide
prep
make sure you have a (at least 32bg) sd card, and the wiiu can connect to the internet
also update your console (for me it's 5.5.6)
setup files
power off your system
take the sd card out of your system
go to this site and scroll down and check all the check-boxes, then press on the "Download Payloads" and "Download Base Aroma" buttons
extract the "wiiu" folders from the zip files to the sd card. if your computer says that you need to overwrite files, click yes
exploit
put the sd card back into your wiiu and turn it on
go to wiiuexploit.xyz on the wiiu and press on "Run Exploit!", hold B until you see a screen that says: "Please choose your payload"
if you see a screen that says: "EnvironmentLoader" you didnt hold down B long enough
gotta take a dump
scroll down to "nanddumper" and press A
use the d-pad to select this config:
Dump SLC: yes Dump SLCCMPT: yes Dump MLC: optional Dump OTP: yes Dump SEEPROM: yes
press A to dump these files
once it's done turn off the console and put the sd card into your computer
copy the slc.bin, slccmpt.bin, seeprom.bin, and otp.bin files to a safe place. if there are mlc.bin.part files, save those too.
once you have copyed them onto your computer, delete them from the sd card to make space
install the hacks
put the sd card back into your wiiu and turn it on
redo the steps from exploit but hold X this time
press A on the "aroma" option
press A again to load into the Home Menu
open the new "PayloadLoader Installer" app on your home screen (it's the one with the circle with an A in it)
press A to check to see if you can install PayloadLoader
press A again to install PayloadLoader (the Install / Update option)
use the d-pad to select Install and press A
press A to shut down the wiiu
OPTIONAL (but good): autobooting aroma
boot up the console and launch the Health and Safety app, press A to launch Aroma, press A to go back to the Home Menu
relaunch the PayloadLoader Installer app
press A to select Check
press A to select Boot Options
press A on Switch to PayloadLoader
press A again to shut down the console
finishing installing
setup aroma
go into EnvironmentLoader either by opening the Health and Safety app (skipping the last thing) or turning on your console
use the d-pad and press Y to default, and A to open.
if you get a red screen about updates not being blocked, we're going to fix that soon
anyway, select the Wii U Menu from the boot menu and press A
(to boot into this menu hold down the start/+ button on boot, if you autobooted)
blocking updates
turn off your console and put in your sd card
go to here and download the .wuhb file
put it into the wiiu/apps folder on the sd card
put the sd card back into the console and boot aroma
run the wiiu menu and launch the UFDiine app and press A
if it says that the update folder had been deleted, woohoo
exit UFDiine, the red screen is gone
good apps to install
download this and this (the wiiu-extracttosd.zip file
copy the contents of both zip files to the sd card, not in any folders
to use bluetooth controlers download the Bloopair zip file
copy the 30_bloopair.rpx file to the wiiu/environments/aroma/modules/setup folder
copy the wiiu folder (from the zip file) to the sd card, not in any folders
