I tried to boot into recover mode a few times.

This was the best I could get. If I can get it to work however, what should I do then ?
Thanks

Hello! Did your wii u work as usual before the system update? I ordered a Wii U with the same problem and with system version 5.5.1 and I hope I can hack it without updating. I'll write here about my results later.

Dump the system crash logs, so we can see the details. 5.5.1 should be exploitable. If you neither get the Browser exploit nor DNSpresso to work UDPIH should still work

I don't have a Wii U yet, it should arrive in a couple of days. If I can successfully resolve error 160-2215 for this post, I will proceed further and write about it here

I'm facing the error "can't write simple pairing mode: input/output error (5)". I tried running bluubomb on a PC, on two laptops and on a steam deck and I always get this error. I tried to disable simple pairing mode according to the instructions on github, but that didn’t help either. maybe there is a solution?

The Browser exploit or DNSpresso or UDPIH would be easier. Which ones did you try?
so far i'm trying to use only the bluubomb method, my wii u gives error 160-2215 when entering mii maker and starts all over again. I'm ready to buy a raspberry pi pico and use the UDPIH method. Is it possible to replace wup files using DNSpresso?

I was able to run DNSpresso! but I don't know if it's possible to replace the wup mii maker. when I select the wii u menu I am again asked to create a mii and the same error comes out

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Stremio ruined my need for nas
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I stream from Nas to firestick, one on every tv, and use Kodi. I'm happy w it, plays everything. (I pirate/torrent shows/movies on pc, and put on nas)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Kodi repost are still pretty popular
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What the hell is Kodi reposts? what do you mean, or "Wut?" -xdqwerty
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Google them basically web crawlers to movie sites
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    oh you mean the 3rd party apps on Kodi, yea i know what you mean, yea there are still a few cool ones, in fact watched the new planet of the apes movie other night w wifey thru one, was good pic surprisingly, not a cam
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Damn, only $2.06 and free shipping. Gotta cost more for them to ship than $2.06
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
