The point is that with homebrew u can fool the online servers into thinking ur using the latest firmware when ur not.
I'm really hoping somebody figures out how to physically dump the wiiu nand so we can downgrade in case we want to update.

Well there you go, I have spoken so nothing is worth doing anymore, everyone pack your bags and forget about it!
Tbh I was probably just having a bit of a rant because I was annoyed about Nintendo doing the sneaky update thing. It was quite annoying though. I did cover quite alot of ground though in that short rant, it was good 
all hail the wiikey-u are savior (to pirate the fuck out of games)!

I think mine will be getting updated now, I have a hacked Wii that I use for GameCube games upstairs and on my Wii u downstairs the vwii part has usbloadergx on but is never used. There is not many games that I want for the Wii u that I don't mind paying for them and the online on Mario kart is hard to miss out on

I don't think it's as big a deal as everyone's making it out to be. They're still using the same really old version of WebKit (albeit with adding their own patches and mods for stuff like the gamepad), so it still has a lot of bugs that have been found in the meantime. We haven't found another one yet because we haven't been looking, people are off doing other things (AKA exploring what the system can do now that we at the very least have 5.0.0/5.1.0 working), but still, it's not as bad as everyone's making it out to be. FFS, it was like this when everyone was freaking out because we had to do the addresses blind for THOSE versions, and we managed to get through that just fine once someone(chadderz) actually tried to get a RAM dump to work off of.
HAVE SOME FAITH for once.

It's normal for people to panic for some reason. Specially in the console scene.
I'm sad that I have to upgrade my Wii U to get the eshop later, but it isn't the end of the world.
I guess this just add to the challenge for those who like to look for exploits in newer versions of the firmware.
And I can say right now, I do have faith in the work of the (real) hackers. I remember the Wii when it first manage to fix the Trunchabug. People got scared, and it eventually also go fixed.
Are you sure that this forum is the right place for you?

would it be possible for those guys who have access to the kernel exploit to patch the signature/"fingerprint"/name of the current firmware to make the servers thinking the wii u is on the latest firmware? just wondering...
That's why you keep it on the version it is for all of eternity (or upgrade with patched downloaded updates once you know they're safe) so they have no way to be told that you've hacked your Wii U because they get no data sent to them about that
Oh I understand that. But I just think its a little disheartening that Nintendo is actually aware and on top of this stuff this time. They tried similar things with the original Wii (much much later after the thing had been hacked to hell) but those attemps were futile, this time feels much different.

This is tough guys
that is what it comes down to these days, it's either homebrew or update, you can't have both, it was also a waste of time blocking those ips on the router because they found a way to stop people accessing their network, they are getting as bad as sony now.
the same will also happen when the ps4 gets cracked open, online or homebrew and they ban you too if you are signed into psn.
this is also what happens if you let these companies take control over your consoles, cfw and homebrew liberate your consoles and free them from their clutches but they always counter back don't they.
people should also concider getting a second wii u if you want to play online now, that is your only way now.
i believe they have the right to do so since it is actually their servers, so i don't think saying "they're as bad as ____ now" is not a statement we are entitled to. but yeah, for those who want homebrew and play online, it's not a very good situation.
you still have control over your console, but if you want to use their servers, then you follow their rules. not hatin' on you, just wanted to point that out, since I myself am also waiting for homebrew, but at the same time, am now very frustrated because i cannot enjoy my MK8, TTT2, and Miiverse because of the loss of online functionality.
i had faith in a higher power before, but 2000 years later, no one has seen him and the earth is getting worse. so yeah, i still have faith in you, but please don't make us wait too long. good luck.
