Hi everyone. I flipped my Wii U on to make sure it still worked with all the recent news. Thankfully, it did. I noticed I had haxchi installed, and when I checked the firmware it said "99.99.99-U"
I did not have any other installed games, apps, or emulators. Just haxchi and the homebrew channel. I wanted to update what I had and install a few games, so I went to the wiiu.hacks.guide and downloaded the new HBC data and the prx and put them on my SD card, overwriting what was already on there. After putting my SD card back into my system, it would boot to the "Wii U menu" screen, then fade to black, and bring up the same screen. It seemed to cycle indefinitely until it just stopped at a black screen. I unsynced my Wii U pad by syncing it to another Wii U console, and this time when I turned on my Wii U, it loaded into the homebrew channel, which I am able to control with my Wii U Pro controller. However none of the available HBC options seem to help me, or they just do nothing. When I go to the home screen using my controller it tells me it does not identify a gamepad and to charge it. It does not give me an option to sync one. The system seems to think the Mii channel is what the suspended software is, and if I close it, I boot back into the homebrew channel. If I try to turn on my console without an SD card inserted, it just loads a black screen with "-3".
tl;dr, I think I may have screwed up something with haxchi when I should have just deleted it. I can boot into the homebrew channel, are there any HBC apps that will let me do a recovery?
Does anyone know what on earth happened, and if there's a way I can reverse it?
