Hacking I bricked my wii u trying to downgrade my HOME menu

[OhHiNick]

I did replace the ip address, nothing happened. Am i supposed to open it in cmd after i finish editing it?

 

[godreborn]

Yes

 

[OhHiNick]

Yes

Is there a specific version of python that i have to use? Because when i run it, it does nothing...

 

[godreborn]

You have to run wup on your console as well.

I did, it says "Wupserver running." And nothing happens on python

I'd ask @GaryOderNichts .

If you're using tiramisu or aroma, you may be able to get into homebrew launcher. I don't know if it's x or plus to get into the selector.

It crashes before it even reads the sd card. I hold x on boot up, and it still crashes.

BTW, the wii u hangs on the logo

also, the gamepad doesn't turn on when i press power button on the console. And the console doesnt turn on when i press the power button on the gamepad. Th only way i can turn it on is via the "Play Wii U" Button in the TV remote menu.

Yes

Yes

did it, i hope someone responds...

I managed to fix it for a short amount of time. But then i stupidly decided to restore my home button menu backup with ftpiiu and it is stuck on the boot logo again. This time, the jingle loops. I can still use udpih and wupserver, and i have since gained knowledge on how to use wupserver. Hopefully you can help me fix this.

 

[ArgoRV]

why would you downgrade the menu?

Try again. I once bricked transferring a theme via ftp. It did what you describe, but it's easy to fix if using tiramisu, aroma, or cbhc.

why would you downgrade the menu?

I dont know, and i paid the price

 

[ArgoRV]

Only reason i've seen lately to downgrade the menu is to get the tvii icon, and is useless at this point 'cause the service is down. I guess you have a nand backup, right? hope you can restore it. good luck

 

[OhHiNick]

good luck

Good luck did come my way.
I managed to unbrick my Wii U.
I uninstalled the home button menu with Udpih and wupserver, and reinstalled the home button menu, and now it works!
I want to thank you all...
