Unable to dump OTP.bin

[skawo]

Ah. Will do that.

 

[Lazr1026]

you should be able to go back to the release minute now. it will also confirm the seeprom i am building you should work

 

[skawo]

Okay, well, I wrote the re-crypted SLC.
What does "flashing DDI from mcp_recovery" entail?

 

[Lazr1026]

you should do it without defuse, since ddi flashing in mcp_recovery with defuse is broken

 

[skawo]

So if I understand right

Disable pico
Get the CAT-R updater and dd it to SD card
Power WiiU on with both POWER and EJECT
evoila?

 

[Lazr1026]

dont remove the pico just yet, just put it in bootloader mode

 

[skawo]

Do I need the fabled serial cable to trigger the ddi flashing?

 

[Lazr1026]

no, but its better to still have it now just in case you need it later

 

[skawo]

Hm, well, I don't have a computer with a serial port anymore, but I guess I could get one (which would be cheaper than the USB cable - unless you can put two of the FT232 USB to serial converters on each end?)

For now just getting this to work would be more than enough.
Not sure if I can find the required images for this, but I guess I'll try.

 

[Lazr1026]

later on i can send you some ddi images, but it will be a few hours

 

[skawo]

Would be excellent, thank you.

It does get into this menu if I hold POWER and EJECT, so I guess it's ready to do the thing.

mcp_recovery!

 

[SDIO]

Did you backup the mlc?

 

[skawo]

I did.
It fails to get extracted by wfs_extract, complaining about wrong wfs version.

I _would_ really love to see what's on there, so if you have other suggestions on how to dump the files or extract this dump, I'd love to try them out.

 

[EyeKey]

If you can send me the dump and the otp I can take a look on why wfs-extract fails to handle it. (For start I can work with the first 0x2000 bytes as they suppose to have the wfs header)

 

[skawo]

Sent.

It was a long arduous journey, but success* was had at the end

* - still needs a donor wiiu for a disc drive and drh firmware chip
** - the mlc was wiped just like the slc
