# Blocking Updates
---
All currently known Wii U exploits can, unlike e.g. the Nintendo Switch RCM exploit, be patched by a system update. Although the Wii U is no longer officially supported, Nintendo may still release updates for it. Namely, the updates 5.5.3 and 5.5.4 were both released after the Wii U was discontinued, so blocking updates is still a recommended action.
### Instructions
Currently, two ways exist to block updates on the Wii U system:
<!-- tabs:start -->
#### **Deleting The Update Folder**
?> This method of update blocking is a bit more advanced than DNS Blocking and uses a homebrew app to modify system files. However, it has the advantage that the eShop's functionality will not be restricted.
1. Plug your SD Card into your Computer.
1. Download and extract [UFDiine](https://github.com/GaryOderNichts/UFDiine/releases) to the root of your SD Card.
1. Plug the SD Card into your Wii U console and power it on.
1. Enter the Homebrew Launcher.
1. Navigate the Homebrew Launcher and run the UFDiine app.
1. Press the A button to delete the update folder.
1. Confirm that it says `Update folder is deleted`. You are now blocking updates.
### **DNS Blocking**
?> This method is the easier method and is recommended to less advanced users. It does, however, prevent the eShop from working. This can be worked around by running [NNUPatcher](http://www.wiiubru.com/appstore/zips/nnupatcher.zip) before starting the eShop.
1. Plug your SD Card into your Computer.
1. Extract the `nnupatcher.zip` file to the root of your SD Card. If asked, overwrite any duplicate files.
1. Plug the SD Card into your Wii U console and power it on.
1. Enter the Wii U's system settings and navigate to `Internet > Connect to the Internet > Connection List >` `Your WiFi connection > Change Settings > DNS` and set the option to `Do not auto-obtain`.
1. You will be asked to input a primary and secondary DNS. Enter the following IP addresses:
- Primary DNS: 168.235.092.108
- Secondary DNS: 081.004.127.020 <img src="docs/assets/img/DNS.png" alt="DNS Block" />
1. Click on confirm.
1. You are now blocking updates. In order to access the eShop, run the NNUPatcher app from the Homebrew Launcher before launching the eShop.

# Dumping Wii U Discs
---
Dumping your Discs allows you to install a copy of your game to the system NAND/a USB device so you can play it without needing the disc.
?> Dumping and installing games requires a working Homebrew setup, so make sure to finish the main guide on installing CFW first before following this.
### Instructions
<!-- tabs:start -->
#### **Install To NAND**
?> Installing a game to the system memory (NAND) is not recommended as it's limited to either 8GB or 32GB depending on your model, making you run out of space pretty quickly if you want to install multiple games.
### What You Need
- Your SD Card needs to have enough space to fit the game you want to dump.
- The latest release of [WUP Installer GX2](http://wiiubru.com/appstore/zips/wup_installer_gx2.zip).
- The [disc2app](http://www.wiiubru.com/appstore/zips/disc2app.zip) homebrew application.
### Instructions
1. Extract the `wup_installer_gx2.zip` file to the root of your SD Card.
1. Extract the `disc2app.zip` file to the root of your SD Card.
1. Take the SD Card out of your PC and plug it into your Wii U.
1. Power on your Wii U.
1. Eject your game disc if you have one inserted.
1. Launch the Homebrew Launcher and start the disc2app app.
1. Press the A button to start the dumping process to the SD Card.
1. When prompted, insert the game disc you want to dump.
1. When the process is complete, your Wii U will launch the Wii U Menu.
1. Launch the Homebrew Launcher and start the WUP Installer GX2 app.
1. Select your game (`WUP-X-XXXX`), press `Install` and confirm with `Yes`.
1. Select NAND as the installation destination.
1. When the process is complete, your Wii U will launch the Wii U Menu.
1. You should see your game installed, ready to be played.
1. Take the SD Card out of your Wii U and plug it into your PC.
1. Delete the `WUP-X-XXXX` folder in the `install` directory on your SD Card to free up space.
#### **Install To USB**
?> When installing a game to a USB device, we recommend that you use an HDD and not a flash drive, as those are not optimized for constant reading and writing, therefore making them fail quickly. If your HDD is not externally powered, you will need a Y-cable to connect it to two USB slots on the Wii U.
!> In order to install to a USB device, it has to be formatted by the Wii U. Doing this will erase all contents of it, and prevent it from being used on another system unless you reformat it.
### What You Need
- Your SD Card needs to have enough space to fit the game you want to dump.
- A USB HDD (+ a Y-cable if needed)
- The latest release of [WUP Installer GX2](http://wiiubru.com/appstore/zips/wup_installer_gx2.zip)
- The [disc2app](http://www.wiiubru.com/appstore/zips/disc2app.zip) Homebrew app
### Instructions
1. Extract the `wup_installer_gx2.zip` file to the root of your SD Card.
1. Extract the `disc2app.zip` file to the root of your SD Card.
1. Take the SD Card out of your PC and plug it into your Wii U.
1. Plug your USB HDD into the Wii U.
1. Power on your Wii U.
1. Your Wii U will prompt you to format your HDD. Confirm with Yes.
1. Eject your game disc if you have one inserted
1. Launch the Homebrew Launcher and start the disc2app app.
1. Press the A button to start the dumping process to the SD Card.
1. When prompted, insert the game disc you want to dump
1. When the process is complete, your Wii U will launch the Wii U Menu.
1. Launch the Homebrew Launcher and start the WUP Installer GX2 app.
1. Select your game (`WUP-X-XXXX`), press `Install` and confirm with `Yes`.
1. Select USB as the installation destination.
1. When the process is complete, your Wii U will launch the Wii U Menu.
1. You should see your game installed, ready to be played.
1. Take the SD Card out of your Wii U and plug it into your PC.
1. Delete the `WUP-X-XXXX` folder in the `install` directory on your SD Card to free up space.
### Move Updates/DLC To USB
?> If your disc game had DLC or updates installed, you will need to transfer the files over to your USB device. You can do this using the Wii U's data management.
1. Power on your Wii U
1. Open the Wii U's System Settings.
1. Navigate to `Data Management > Copy/Move/Delete Data > System Memory > Move Items (X)`.
1. Select your game and move the update and DLC data to the USB device.
#### **Install From USB**
?> If you do not have enough space on your SD Card, you can use an advanced technique to install dumps from a USB device. This is not the easiest thing to do and has the disadvantage of only being able to install the game onto your system memory (NAND).
### What You Need
- A USB storage device (+a Y-cable if needed) with enough space to fit the game you want to dump.
- The latest release of [WUP Installer GX2](http://wiiubru.com/appstore/zips/wup_installer_gx2.zip)
- The [disc2app](http://www.wiiubru.com/appstore/zips/disc2app.zip) Homebrew app.
- The [MochaFAT32](https://www.wiiubru.com/appstore/zips/mocha_fat32.zip) Homebrew app.
- The 1.4 release of [The Homebrew Launcher](https://github.com/dimok789/homebrew_launcher/releases/tag/1.4)
- You will need to download the v1.4 `homebrew_launcher.v.1.4.zip` release.
### Instructions
?> **Notice** Your USB device will need to be formatted as FAT32. If your USB is not formatted to FAT32, use [GUIFormat](http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?guiformat.htm) with 32k (32768) Allocation unit size to format it.
1. Extract the `homebrew_launcher.v.1.4.zip` file to the root of your USB device.
1. Extract the `wup_installer_gx2.zip` file to the root of your USB device.
1. Extract the `disc2app.zip` file to the root of your USB device.
1. Extract the `mocha_fat32.zip` file to the root of your SD Card.
1. Take the SD Card out of your PC and plug it into your Wii U console.
1. Power on your Wii U.
1. Plug in your USB device. The Wii U will ask you format it. Cancel with No!
1. Launch the Homebrew Launcher and start the MochaFAT32 app.
1. In the configuration menu, set the following settings:
- Config view mode: default
- Skip this menu on launch: on
- Don't relaunch OS: off
- Launch System Menu: on
- RedNAND: off
1. Your console will load the Wii U menu with your USB device now replacing the SD Card.

1. Launch the Homebrew Launcher and start the WUP Installer GX2 app.
1. Select your game (`WUP-X-XXXX`), press `Install` and confirm with `Yes`.
1. Select NAND as the installation destination.
1. When the process is complete, your Wii U will launch the Wii U Menu.
1. You should see your game installed, ready to be played.
1. Take the USB device out of your Wii U and plug it into your PC.
2. Delete the `WUP-X-XXXX` folder in the `install` directory on your USB device to free up space.
### Moving The Game To USB
?> If you don't want to keep the game installed on NAND, you can use the Wii U's data management to move the game to a USB device.
!> In order to move your game to a USB device, it has to be formatted by the Wii U. Doing this will erase all contents of it, and prevent it from being used on another system unless you reformat it.
1. Reboot your Wii U to remove the effect of MochaFAT32.
1. Plug your USB device into the Wii U.
1. Power on your Wii U.
1. Your Wii U will prompt you to format your USB device. Confirm with Yes.
1. Open the Wii U's System Settings.

# FAQ {docsify-ignore-all}
---
### Does Homebrew have any risks?
Currently homebrewing the Wii U does not expose you to a risk of being banned by Nintendo unless you cheat in online games. You should, however, always be careful with launching downloaded homebrew, especially if you don't trust the source, as Homebrew can potentially damage your system!
### What is Haxchi, and do I need it?
Haxchi is a secondary entry point which uses certain DS Virtual Console titles to allow for access to homebrew while being completely offline (still works with online but no connection required to launch CFW)
Haxchi is not required, however, if you want to use homebrew on your Wii U while offline you will need it. Its highly recommended as its more stable than the browser entry point, especially on the newest firmware.
The cheapest DS VC games usable for this exploit:
- Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training [PAL]
- Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day! [USA]
- Kawashima: Motto Nou wo Kitaeru Otona no DS Training [JPN]
### Can I install games from my USB instead of SD?
Yes. It is, however, a bit more complicated than installing from SD Card. Detailed instructions are in the `Install from USB` tab in the [Dumping guide](dump-games).
### How to Delete Update Folder to Block Updates on Wii U
If you want to delete the update folder to block updates, see its tab in the [Blocking Updates guide](block-updates).
### What SD Card size is recommended?
- **Installing game backups:** 32 GB (Smaller size may be used, but certain titles are 20 GB in size)
- **Running game mods:** 8 GB (FAT32 USB drive may be used as well for mods)
- **Only running homebrew apps:** Any size
**Recommended brands:** SanDisk, Samsung or PNY
?> Note: Avoid class 4 SD Cards, and avoid eBay!
### Can I install homebrew on Wii U with a USB instead of SD Card?
No, you must have an SD Card for a first time setup, a USB can then be used to install game backups, VC injects, etc, but not to store Homebrew Apps which are required to set everything up.
### When extracting some of the files there are duplicates of certain ones called "info.json" & "manifest.install", what do I do with those?
Nothing special, you can leave them there, delete them or replace them with new ones. Those files are not used in the process, therefore, won't have any impact by being or not being there.
### What is a Wii U formatted USB drive?
It's a USB drive that has been formatted by a Wii U console to its proprietary format.
A Wii U formatted USB drive ***cannot be read by any other devices than the Wii U that originally formatted it.***
If you ever want to use it with another Wii U console or any other devices, you will have to reformat it.

- **-3:** No SD Card detected. Re-insert the SD Card and try again. Make sure the SD Card is in FAT32 format. If the error persists, try blowing into the SD slot as it can get dusty inside.
- **-4:** SD detected but could not mount. Check to see if the SD is using MBR and not GPT. Also, check to see if there are any other partitions on the SD Card and merge them into one primary partition.
- **-5:** Missing files on the SD. Check to see if your SD has Homebrew Launcher located in <code>/wiiu<wbr>/apps<wbr>/homebrew_launcher<wbr>/homebrew_launcher.elf</code>.
### Browser errors
- **FSGetMountSource failed:** Same as -3 above, means no SD Card detected. Re-insert the SD and try again.
- **FSOpenFile failed [...] payload.elf:** Missing payload file on SD. Make sure you have payload.elf in the wiiu folder.
- **FSOpenFile failed:** Missing `homebrew_launcher` on SD. Make sure you have `homebrew_launcher.elf` in the <code>/wiiu<wbr>/apps<wbr>/homebrew_launcher</code> folder.
### Data Management asks to delete unnecessary data, what does it mean?
This refers to leftover files from incomplete installs. Always choose Yes to delete this data, as it takes up space for no good reason. If it ever stays stuck on deleting the data in an infinite loop, you can manually delete the data yourself.
Use FTPiiU Everywhere and browse to `/storage_mlc/usr/import` then delete any files in the folder if any exists. This is where the partial installs exist after incomplete installs. It'll be `/storage_usb/usr/import` if installed to a USB.
The `import` folder should always be kept empty.
### My HDD doesn't work or makes a weird clicking sound, what should I do?
The reason behind that is that the Wii U doesn't give enough power through one USB port to use the Hard Drive.
You can fix this by either using a powered HDD or using a Y-Cable to connect the HDD to two USB ports.
If your HDD worked for some time and then stopped working for some games/all games, it is the same issue and can be fixed with the same methods.
### When extracting some of the files there are duplicates of certain ones called "info.json" & "manifest.install", what do I do with those?
Nothing special, you can leave them there, delete them or replace them with new ones. Those files are not used in the process, therefore, won't have any impact by being or not being there.
### My console suddenly lost online connectivity and I have an HDD sitting on top of the console, what should I do?
The internal antenna may have been influenced by the hard drive magnet.
You can move the HDD to a different position atop the Wii U, or move it off the Wii U entirely.

# CBHC
## Browser Exploit {docsify-ignore}
To install CFW, we first need to launch the Homebrew Launcher through the browser exploit. Make sure your Wii U has internet access for this step.
### Instructions
1. Take the SD Card out of your computer and plug it into your Wii U console.
1. Launch the Internet Browser and navigate to the website `wiiuexploit.xyz`.
1. Click on `Run Homebrew Launcher!`. Your console should launch the Homebrew Launcher.
- If your Wii U gets stuck on a white or otherwise frozen screen, wait a few seconds. If nothing happens, reboot the console, [reset the browser's save data](https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1507/~/how-to-delete-the-internet-browser-history) and try again.

# CBHC {docsify-ignore-all}
## Choose Your DS VC Game
The first thing to decide is what DS Virtual Console ("VC") game you will buy.
Please note that the game you injected Haxchi/CBHC into will not be playable anymore until you uninstall Haxchi/CBHC and reinstall the game from the eShop.
### Compatible DS VC Games
?> If you have a European region console, there is a chance that you might already have got <code>Dr. Kawashima's <wbr>Brain <wbr>Training: <wbr>How <wbr>Old <wbr>is <wbr>Your <wbr>Brain?</code> for free.

## Installing the Homebrew Launcher Channel {docsify-ignore}
This page will install the Homebrew Launcher Channel as an application directly to your Home Menu for easy access.
?> This page is only for Haxchi and CBHC users. The Home-Menu Homebrew Launcher Channel will **not** work with Mocha CFW!
### Instructions
1. Power on your console.
1. Press the Home button during the `Autobooting...` screen to get into the boot menu.
1. Select `Boot Homebrew Launcher` to launch the Homebrew Launcher.
1. Navigate the Homebrew Launcher and launch the WUP Installer GX2 app.
1. Use the touchscreen to select `Homebrew Launcher Channel`. Press `Install` and confirm with `Yes`.
1. Select NAND as the installation destination. This will install the Homebrew Launcher Channel to the Wii U Menu.
1. Once the process is finished, press the Home button until you're back at the Wii U Menu.
1. You will now see the Homebrew Launcher Channel installed on your Wii U Menu.

## Launching CFW {docsify-ignore}
Now that you have your NAND backup in case anything goes wrong later, you can run CFW on your system.
Unlike systems such as the DSi, Wii, or 3DS, Wii U CFW is temporary. This means that as soon as your system reboots, you will lose CFW and have to follow these instructions again. This can be skipped by installing CBHC to a Haxchi CFW installation.
!> Installing CBHC incorrectly can brick your Wii U. Make sure to follow the following rules when installing CBHC: <br>- The DS game has to be legitimately installed from the eShop! <br>- Don't format the system while CBHC is installed! <br>- Don't delete the user account that bought the DS Virtual Console game! <br>- Don't re-install the same game using WUP Installer or from the eShop! <br>- Don't install Haxchi over CBHC! <br>- Don't uninstall the DS Virtual Console game without [properly uninstalling CBHC first](../uninstall-cbhc)! <br>- Don't move the DS Virtual Console game to a USB drive!
!> Breaking one of the above rules will result in a brick.
### Instructions
1. Take the SD Card out of your PC and plug it into your Wii U.
1. If you haven't already, now download your DS Virtual Console game of choice from the eShop.
1. Launch the Homebrew Launcher on your system as [previously explained](browser-exploit).
1. Navigate the Homebrew Launcher and open the Haxchi app.
1. Use the DPAD to navigate the cursor to the game you want to install Haxchi to and press the A button to install it.
1. Once the installation has finished, your console will launch the Wii U Menu. You will see your game replaced by a Haxchi icon.
1. Run the modified DS game. This will reboot the console and enable CFW.
1. Run the modified DS game again and hold the A button after launching it. This will run the Homebrew Launcher.
1. Navigate the Homebrew launcher and run the CBHC app.
1. Use the DPAD to navigate the cursor to the game you previously installed Haxchi to and press the A button to install CBHC.
1. Once the installation has finished, your console will launch the Wii U Menu.
1. Reboot your console. If CBHC installed correctly, you should see a new boot menu.
1. Use the DPAD to navigate to `Autoboot: Disabled` and press the A button until it says `Autoboot: System Menu`.
1. Use the DPAD to navigate to `Boot System Menu` and press the A button. This will launch the Wii U Menu with CFW enabled.
1. Your console now automatically boots into CFW every reboot.
1. You can now re-attach any USB devices you had attached before starting the guide.

## Making a NAND Backup {docsify-ignore}
In case anything should go wrong in the later process and your Wii U ends up bricked, restoring a previously made NAND backup can fix it.
### Instructions
?> The Wii U NAND is (depending on your model) either 8GB or 32GB. As a result of this, to create a full backup of your console's NAND, your SD Card has to be larger than the size of your NAND. If you do not have a large enough SD Card, you can skip the optional `MLC` section which includes save files and game data and is not needed to recover most types of bricks.
?> Restoring a NAND Backup on the Wii U requires additional hardware and micro soldering skills. <br>However, making a NAND Backup is **always** useful, so please do not skip it. <br>Your NAND Backup is unique to your system. Backups from other consoles **won't** work.
1. Navigate through the Homebrew Launcher and launch the `Wii U NAND Dumper` app.
1. Use the Wii U Gamepad's DPAD to enter the following configuration:
- Dump SLC: **yes**
- Dump SLCCMPT: **yes**
- Dump MLC: **optional**
- Dump OTP: **yes**
- Dump SEEPROM: **yes**
1. Press the A button to start the dumping process.
1. When the process completed, power off your Wii U, take your SD Card out of the Wii U and plug it into your PC.
1. To make sure you don't lose the files, copy the `slc.bin`, `slccmpt.bin`, `seeprom.bin`, `otp.bin` and if you chose to go with a full backup, `every mlc.bin.part` file to your computer.
1. Delete the files from your SD Card to free up space.

# Choose The CFW You Want
---
?> Before starting, make sure to update your Wii U console to the latest firmware (5.5.4 for European consoles, 5.5.3 for all other regions) if you haven't already.
There are two main CFWs: Haxchi/ColdBootHaxchi (CBHC) or Mocha.
Haxchi/CBHC are both injected into a paid DS VC game, while Mocha is only used with the web browser exploit and Indexiine, which makes it the only free CFW.
## Haxchi
- Requires a legitimately installed paid DS VC game from the eShop.
- Can be used to launch CFW directly from the Wii U Menu.
- Needs to be re-launched from the Wii U Menu every reboot to enable CFW.
- Its functionality can be extended by installing ColdBootHaxchi (CBHC) to a Haxchi installation.
### [**Continue with Haxchi**](haxchi/ds-vc-choice) {docsify-ignore}
## CBHC
!> Installing CBHC incorrectly can brick your Wii U! Make sure to follow the following rules when installing CBHC: <br>- The DS game has to be legitimately installed from the eShop! <br>- Don't format the system while CBHC is installed! <br>- Don't delete the user account that bought the DS VC game! <br>- Don't re-install the same game using WUP Installer or from the eShop! <br>- Don't install Haxchi over CBHC! <br>- Don't uninstall the DS Virtual Console game without [properly uninstalling CBHC first](uninstall-cbhc)! <br>- Don't move the DS Virtual Console game to a USB drive!
!> Breaking one of the above rules **will** result in a brick!
- Requires a legitimately installed paid DS VC game from the eShop.
- Automatically launches CFW on every boot.
### [**Continue with CBHC**](cbhc/ds-vc-choice) {docsify-ignore}
## Mocha
- Does not require any game, and is therefore free.
- Needs to be re-launched through the browser exploit every reboot to enable CFW.
- Is not compatible with the Homebrew Launcher Channel.
- May require an Internet connection depending on what entry point you choose.

# Haxchi
## Browser Exploit {docsify-ignore}
To install CFW, we first need to launch the Homebrew Launcher through the browser exploit. Make sure your Wii U has internet access for this step.
### Instructions
1. Take the SD Card out of your computer and plug it into your Wii U console.
1. Launch the Internet Browser and navigate to the website `wiiuexploit.xyz`.
1. Click on `Run Homebrew Launcher!`. Your console should launch the Homebrew Launcher.
- If your Wii U gets stuck on a white or otherwise frozen screen, wait a few seconds. If nothing happens, reboot the console, [reset the browser's save data](https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1507/~/how-to-delete-the-internet-browser-history) and try again.

# Haxchi {docsify-ignore-all}
## Choose Your DS VC Game
The first thing to decide is what DS Virtual Console ("VC") game you will buy.
Please note that the game you injected Haxchi/CBHC into will not be playable anymore until you uninstall Haxchi/CBHC and reinstall the game from the eShop.
### Compatible DS VC Games
?> If you have a European region console, there is a chance that you might already have got <code>Dr. Kawashima's <wbr>Brain <wbr>Training: <wbr>How <wbr>Old <wbr>is <wbr>Your <wbr>Brain?</code> for free.

# Haxchi
## Installing the Homebrew Launcher Channel {docsify-ignore}
This page will install the Homebrew Launcher Channel as an application directly to your Wii U Menu for easy access.
### Instructions
?> Installing the Homebrew Launcher Channel is optional as you can already launch it by holding the A button while launching Haxchi.
1. Power on your console
1. Launch the Haxchi DS game from the Wii U Menu. This will re-launch the Wii U Menu with CFW activated.
1. Launch the Haxchi DS game again while holding the A button. This will launch the Homebrew Launcher.
1. Navigate the Homebrew Launcher and launch the WUP Installer GX2 app.
1. Use the touchscreen to select `Homebrew Launcher Channel`. Press `Install` and confirm with `Yes`.
1. Select NAND as the installation destination. This will install the Homebrew Launcher Channel to the Wii U Menu.
1. Once the process is finished, press the Home button until you're back at the Wii U Menu.
1. You will now see the Homebrew Launcher Channel installed on your Wii U Menu. Keep in mind you will need to launch CFW every reboot to run this channel.

# Haxchi
## Launching CFW {docsify-ignore}
Now that you have your NAND backup in case anything goes wrong later, you can run CFW on your system.
Unlike systems such as the DSi, Wii, or 3DS, Wii U CFW is temporary. This means that as soon as your system reboots, you will lose CFW and have to follow these instructions again. This can be skipped by installing CBHC to a Haxchi CFW installation.
### Instructions
?> If the install fails for some reason, try uninstalling and redownloading the DS VC game from the eShop and make sure it is being installed to the NAND.
1. Take the SD Card out of your PC and plug it into your Wii U.
1. If you haven't already, now download your DS VC game of choice from the eShop.
1. Launch the Homebrew Launcher on your system as [previously explained](browser-exploit).
1. Navigate the Homebrew Launcher and open the Haxchi app.
1. Use the DPAD to navigate the cursor to the game you want to install Haxchi to and press the A button to install it.
1. Once the installation has finished, your console will launch the Wii U Menu. You will see your game replaced by a Haxchi icon.
1. Run the modified DS game. This will reboot the console and enable CFW.
1. You will need to run your Haxchi DS game every reboot to launch CFW.
1. You can now re-attach any USB devices you had attached before starting the guide.

# Haxchi
## Making a NAND Backup {docsify-ignore}
In case anything should go wrong in the later process and your Wii U ends up bricked, restoring a previously made NAND backup can fix it.
### Instructions
?> The Wii U NAND is (depending on your model) either 8GB or 32GB. As a result of this, to create a full backup of your console's NAND, your SD Card has to be larger than the size of your NAND. If you do not have a large enough SD Card, you can skip the optional `MLC` section which includes save files and game data and is not needed to recover most types of bricks.
?> Restoring a NAND Backup on the Wii U requires additional hardware and micro soldering skills. <br>However, making a NAND Backup is **always** useful, so please do not skip it. <br>Your NAND Backup is unique to your system. Backups from other consoles **won't** work.
1. Navigate through the Homebrew Launcher and launch the `Wii U NAND Dumper` app.
1. Use the Wii U Gamepad's DPAD to enter the following configuration:
- Dump SLC: **yes**
- Dump SLCCMPT: **yes**
- Dump MLC: **optional**
- Dump OTP: **yes**
- Dump SEEPROM: **yes**
1. Press the A button to start the dumping process.
1. When the process completed, power off your Wii U, take your SD Card out of the Wii U and plug it into your PC.
1. To make sure you don't lose the files, copy the `slc.bin`, `slccmpt.bin`, `seeprom.bin`, `otp.bin` and if you chose to go with a full backup, `every mlc.bin.part` file to your computer.
1. Delete the files from your SD Card to free up space.

# Wii U Hacks Guide
A guide collaboration between Nintendo Homebrew's Helpers and Staff, from stock to CBHC custom firmware.
?> **Discord Help** For live support with this guide please visit us in **#wiiu-assistance** on the [Nintendo Homebrew Discord](https://discord.gg/C29hYvh) and ask, in English, for assistance. Please read the FAQ first to see if your question has already been answered.
> If you appreciate this guide, we accept [donations](donations).
> For complete guides to homebrew and custom firmware for other devices, check out [hacks.guide](https://hacks.guide).
### Homebrew
> Homebrew applications are custom, user-made software, which havent been authorized by Nintendo. This can include save editing tools, games, emulators, and more.
>
> Homebrew can be run on your Wii U as long as you have a way to put files on an SD Card and your Wii U is updated to the latest version for your region.
### Custom Firmware
> Custom Firmware ("CFW") enables you to use more advanced hacks that userland homebrew cant easily do. For instance, installing game modifications with ease. CFW can be set up on any console on the latest version.
### Homebrew & CFW Uses
>
> Among other things, it allows you to do the following:
>
> - Use “ROM hacks” for games that you own.
> - Backup, edit and restore saves for many games.
> - Play games for older systems with various emulators, using RetroArch or other standalone emulators.
> - Play out-of-region games.
> - Dump your Wii U game discs to a format that can be installed on your internal or external Wii U storage drive.
### End Goal
> This guide has the end goal of taking a completely unmodified Wii U from stock to custom firmware.
### Before Starting
!> Before beginning the guide, you must know the risks of Wii U hacking: **EVERY** time you modify your system, there is always the potential for an **UNRECOVERABLE** brick. Theyre rare but still a possibility so make sure you follow **ALL** directions **EXACTLY!**
>
> This guide will work on all Wii U consoles in all regions on firmware 5.5.4 or below.
>
> You will need the following in order to successfully follow this guide:
>
> - An SD Card.
> - A device such as a computer to place files onto the SD Card.
> - A Wii U with internet access.
>
> Your SD Card should preferably be 32 gigabytes large, as a full NAND backup for the console will take up around 8 or 30 gigabytes depending on your model.
If everything goes according to plan, you will lose no data and end up with everything that you started with (games, NNID, saves, etc will be preserved).
Keep your device plugged in throughout the entire process to avoid data loss or damage from an unexpected power-off.
With the exception of CBHC, Custom Firmware is not permanent with current methods and will be unloaded upon rebooting the system.
It is advised that you read the entire guide from start to finish one or more times before actually running through the guide with your system.

# Browser Exploit
---
To install CFW, we first need to launch the Homebrew Launcher through the browser exploit. Make sure your Wii U has internet access for this step.
### Instructions
1. Launch the Internet Browser and navigate to the website `wiiuexploit.xyz`.
1. Click on `Run Homebrew Launcher!`. Your console should launch the Homebrew Launcher.
- If your Wii U gets stuck on a white or otherwise frozen screen, wait a few seconds. If nothing happens, reboot the console, [reset the browser's save data](https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1507/~/how-to-delete-the-internet-browser-history) and try again.

# Blocking Updates
---
All currently known Wii U exploits can, unlike e.g. the Nintendo Switch RCM exploit, be patched by a system update. Although the Wii U is no longer officially supported, Nintendo may still release updates for it. Namely, the updates 5.5.3 and 5.5.4 were both released after the Wii U was discontinued, so blocking updates is still a recommended action.
### Instructions
Currently, two ways exist to block updates on the Wii U system:
<!-- tabs:start -->
#### **Deleting The Update Folder**
?> This method of update blocking is a bit more advanced than DNS Blocking and uses a homebrew app to modify system files. However, it has the advantage that the eShop's functionality will not be restricted.
1. Plug your SD Card into your Computer.
1. Download and extract [UFDiine](https://github.com/GaryOderNichts/UFDiine/releases) to the root of your SD Card.
1. Plug the SD Card into your Wii U console and power it on.
1. Enter the Homebrew Launcher.
1. Navigate the Homebrew Launcher and run the UFDiine app.
1. Press the A button to delete the update folder.
1. Confirm that it says `Update folder is deleted`. You are now blocking updates.
### **DNS Blocking**
?> This method is the easier method and is recommended to less advanced users. It does, however, prevent the eShop from working. This can be worked around by running [NNUPatcher](http://www.wiiubru.com/appstore/zips/nnupatcher.zip) before starting the eShop.
1. Plug your SD Card into your Computer.
1. Extract the `nnupatcher.zip` file to the root of your SD Card. If asked, overwrite any duplicate files.
1. Plug the SD Card into your Wii U console and power it on.
1. Enter the Wii U's system settings and navigate to `Internet > Connect to the Internet > Connection List >` `Your WiFi connection > Change Settings > DNS` and set the option to `Do not auto-obtain`.
1. You will be asked to input a primary and secondary DNS. Enter the following IP addresses:
- Primary DNS: 168.235.092.108
- Secondary DNS: 081.004.127.020 <img src="docs/assets/img/DNS.png" alt="DNS Block" />
1. Click on confirm.
1. You are now blocking updates. In order to access the eShop, run the NNUPatcher app from the Homebrew Launcher before launching the eShop.

# Dumping Wii U Discs
---
Dumping your Discs allows you to install a copy of your game to the system NAND/a USB device so you can play it without needing the disc.
?> Dumping and installing games requires a working Homebrew setup, so make sure to finish the main guide on installing CFW first before following this.
### Instructions
<!-- tabs:start -->
#### **Install To NAND**
?> Installing a game to the system memory (NAND) is not recommended as it's limited to either 8GB or 32GB depending on your model, making you run out of space pretty quickly if you want to install multiple games.
### What You Need
- Your SD Card needs to have enough space to fit the game you want to dump.
- The latest release of [WUP Installer GX2](http://wiiubru.com/appstore/zips/wup_installer_gx2.zip).
- The [disc2app](http://www.wiiubru.com/appstore/zips/disc2app.zip) homebrew application.
### Instructions
1. Extract the `wup_installer_gx2.zip` file to the root of your SD Card.
1. Extract the `disc2app.zip` file to the root of your SD Card.
1. Take the SD Card out of your PC and plug it into your Wii U.
1. Power on your Wii U.
1. Eject your game disc if you have one inserted.
1. Launch the Homebrew Launcher and start the disc2app app.
1. Press the A button to start the dumping process to the SD Card.
1. When prompted, insert the game disc you want to dump.
1. When the process is complete, your Wii U will launch the Wii U Menu.
1. Launch the Homebrew Launcher and start the WUP Installer GX2 app.
1. Select your game (`WUP-X-XXXX`), press `Install` and confirm with `Yes`.
1. Select NAND as the installation destination.
1. When the process is complete, your Wii U will launch the Wii U Menu.
1. You should see your game installed, ready to be played.
1. Take the SD Card out of your Wii U and plug it into your PC.
1. Delete the `WUP-X-XXXX` folder in the `install` directory on your SD Card to free up space.
#### **Install To USB**
?> When installing a game to a USB device, we recommend that you use an HDD and not a flash drive, as those are not optimized for constant reading and writing, therefore making them fail quickly. If your HDD is not externally powered, you will need a Y-cable to connect it to two USB slots on the Wii U.
!> In order to install to a USB device, it has to be formatted by the Wii U. Doing this will erase all contents of it, and prevent it from being used on another system unless you reformat it.
### What You Need
- Your SD Card needs to have enough space to fit the game you want to dump.
- A USB HDD (+ a Y-cable if needed)
- The latest release of [WUP Installer GX2](http://wiiubru.com/appstore/zips/wup_installer_gx2.zip)
- The [disc2app](http://www.wiiubru.com/appstore/zips/disc2app.zip) Homebrew app
### Instructions
1. Extract the `wup_installer_gx2.zip` file to the root of your SD Card.
1. Extract the `disc2app.zip` file to the root of your SD Card.
1. Take the SD Card out of your PC and plug it into your Wii U.
1. Plug your USB HDD into the Wii U.
1. Power on your Wii U.
1. Your Wii U will prompt you to format your HDD. Confirm with Yes.
1. Eject your game disc if you have one inserted
1. Launch the Homebrew Launcher and start the disc2app app.
1. Press the A button to start the dumping process to the SD Card.
1. When prompted, insert the game disc you want to dump
1. When the process is complete, your Wii U will launch the Wii U Menu.
1. Launch the Homebrew Launcher and start the WUP Installer GX2 app.
1. Select your game (`WUP-X-XXXX`), press `Install` and confirm with `Yes`.
1. Select USB as the installation destination.
1. When the process is complete, your Wii U will launch the Wii U Menu.
1. You should see your game installed, ready to be played.
1. Take the SD Card out of your Wii U and plug it into your PC.
1. Delete the `WUP-X-XXXX` folder in the `install` directory on your SD Card to free up space.
### Move Updates/DLC To USB
?> If your disc game had DLC or updates installed, you will need to transfer the files over to your USB device. You can do this using the Wii U's data management.
1. Power on your Wii U
1. Open the Wii U's System Settings.
1. Navigate to `Data Management > Copy/Move/Delete Data > System Memory > Move Items (X)`.
1. Select your game and move the update and DLC data to the USB device.
#### **Install From USB**
?> If you do not have enough space on your SD Card, you can use an advanced technique to install dumps from a USB device. This is not the easiest thing to do and has the disadvantage of only being able to install the game onto your system memory (NAND).
### What You Need
- A USB storage device (+a Y-cable if needed) with enough space to fit the game you want to dump.
- The latest release of [WUP Installer GX2](http://wiiubru.com/appstore/zips/wup_installer_gx2.zip)

- The [MochaFAT32](https://www.wiiubru.com/appstore/zips/mocha_fat32.zip) Homebrew app.
- The 1.4 release of [The Homebrew Launcher](https://github.com/dimok789/homebrew_launcher/releases/tag/1.4)
- You will need to download the v1.4 `homebrew_launcher.v.1.4.zip` release.
### Instructions
?> **Notice** Your USB device will need to be formatted as FAT32. If your USB is not formatted to FAT32, use [GUIFormat](http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?guiformat.htm) with 32k (32768) Allocation unit size to format it.
1. Extract the `homebrew_launcher.v.1.4.zip` file to the root of your USB device.

1. Extract the `disc2app.zip` file to the root of your USB device.
1. Extract the `mocha_fat32.zip` file to the root of your SD Card.
1. Take the SD Card out of your PC and plug it into your Wii U console.
1. Power on your Wii U.
1. Plug in your USB device. The Wii U will ask you format it. Cancel with No!
1. Launch the Homebrew Launcher and start the MochaFAT32 app.
1. In the configuration menu, set the following settings:
- Config view mode: default
- Skip this menu on launch: on
- Don't relaunch OS: off
- Launch System Menu: on
- RedNAND: off
1. Your console will load the Wii U menu with your USB device now replacing the SD Card.

1. Select your game (`WUP-X-XXXX`), press `Install` and confirm with `Yes`.
1. Select NAND as the installation destination.
1. When the process is complete, your Wii U will launch the Wii U Menu.
1. You should see your game installed, ready to be played.
1. Take the USB device out of your Wii U and plug it into your PC.
2. Delete the `WUP-X-XXXX` folder in the `install` directory on your USB device to free up space.
### Moving The Game To USB
?> If you don't want to keep the game installed on NAND, you can use the Wii U's data management to move the game to a USB device.
!> In order to move your game to a USB device, it has to be formatted by the Wii U. Doing this will erase all contents of it, and prevent it from being used on another system unless you reformat it.
1. Reboot your Wii U to remove the effect of MochaFAT32.
1. Plug your USB device into the Wii U.
1. Power on your Wii U.
1. Your Wii U will prompt you to format your USB device. Confirm with Yes.
1. Open the Wii U's System Settings.

# Dumping Original Wii Discs
---
Dumping your Discs allows you to: play them on a Wii emulator (namely Dolphin), play them using a USB/SD Card loader such as Wiiflow, make Virtual Console injects that can be installed on a Wii U formatted USB drive or the NAND and launched from the Wii U Menu.
?> Dumping Wii games require a working Homebrew setup on vWii, so make sure to finish the [vWii Modding guide](vwii-modding) beforehand.
### What You Need
1. The latest release of [CleanRip](https://github.com/emukidid/cleanrip/releases/download/2.1.1/CleanRip-v2.1.1.zip)
1. The [wii.dat](https://github.com/emukidid/cleanrip/releases/download/2.1.1/wii.dat) file
### Instructions
1. Insert your Wii U's SD Card into your computer
1. Copy the `apps` folder from the `CleanRip-v2.1.1.zip` file to the root of your SD Card
1. Copy the `wii.dat` file to the root of your SD Card
1. Take the SD Card out of your computer and plug it into your Wii U console.
### Dumping The Disc
1. Turn on your Wii U then choose the Wii Menu icon to boot up in vWii.
1. Launch the Homebrew Channel.
1. Launch CleanRip.
1. Read the Disclaimer then press A.
1. Select Yes to enable Checksum Calculations.
1. Select either USB or Front SD depending on which device you want to use for the dumping process.
- Please note that the device you will choose needs to be formatted either in FAT32 or NTFS.
1. Press A to continue.
1. Select No on the screen that asks you to download redump.org DAT files.
1. Insert your disc then press A.
1. Go [on this page](https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=Category:Dual_Layer_Disc_games) to see if your disc is dual-layered.
1. Set everything to match the following:
- Dual Layer `Yes/No` (Select `Yes` if your game's disc is dual-layered)
- Chunk Size `Max`
- New device per chunk `No`
1. If you want to dump multiple discs, select Yes to remember your settings. If not, select No.
?> Be prepared to wait a while. The dumping process can take 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on your SD Card's speeds.
### Joining Split Files

# FAQ {docsify-ignore-all}
---
### Does Homebrew have any risks?
Currently homebrewing the Wii U does not expose you to a risk of being banned by Nintendo unless you cheat in online games. You should, however, always be careful with launching downloaded homebrew, especially if you don't trust the source, as Homebrew can potentially damage your system!
### What is Haxchi, and do I need it?
Haxchi is a secondary entry point which uses certain DS Virtual Console titles to allow for access to homebrew while being completely offline (still works with online but no connection required to launch CFW)
Haxchi is not required, however, if you want to use homebrew on your Wii U while offline you will need it. Its highly recommended as its more stable than the browser entry point, especially on the newest firmware.
The cheapest DS VC games usable for this exploit:
- Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training [PAL]
- Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day! [USA]
- Kawashima: Motto Nou wo Kitaeru Otona no DS Training [JPN]
### Can I install games from my USB instead of SD?
Yes. It is, however, a bit more complicated than installing from SD Card. Detailed instructions are in the `Install from USB` tab in the [Dumping guide](dump-games).
### How to Delete Update Folder to Block Updates on Wii U
If you want to delete the update folder to block updates, see its tab in the [Blocking Updates guide](block-updates).
### What SD Card size is recommended?
- **Installing game backups:** 32 GB (Smaller size may be used, but certain titles are 20 GB in size)
- **Running game mods:** 8 GB (FAT32 USB drive may be used as well for mods)
- **Only running homebrew apps:** Any size
**Recommended brands:** SanDisk, Samsung or PNY
?> Note: Avoid class 4 SD Cards, and avoid eBay!
### Can I install homebrew on Wii U with a USB instead of SD Card?
No, you must have an SD Card for a first time setup, a USB can then be used to install game backups, VC injects, etc, but not to store Homebrew Apps which are required to set everything up.
### When extracting some of the files there are duplicates of certain ones called "info.json" & "manifest.install", what do I do with those?
Nothing special, you can leave them there, delete them or replace them with new ones. Those files are not used in the process, therefore, won't have any impact by being or not being there.
### What is a Wii U formatted USB drive?
It's a USB drive that has been formatted by a Wii U console to its proprietary format.
A Wii U formatted USB drive ***cannot be read by any other devices than the Wii U that originally formatted it.***
If you ever want to use it with another Wii U console or any other devices, you will have to reformat it.

# Common Issues & Fixes {docsify-ignore-all}
---
### Haxchi common errors
- **-3:** No SD Card detected. Re-insert the SD Card and try again. Make sure the SD Card is in FAT32 format. If the error persists, try blowing into the SD slot as it can get dusty inside.
- **-4:** SD detected but could not mount. Check to see if the SD is using MBR and not GPT. Also, check to see if there are any other partitions on the SD Card and merge them into one primary partition.
- **-5:** Missing files on the SD. Check to see if your SD has Homebrew Launcher located in <code>/wiiu<wbr>/apps<wbr>/homebrew_launcher<wbr>/homebrew_launcher.elf</code>.
### Browser errors
- **FSGetMountSource failed:** Same as -3 above, means no SD Card detected. Re-insert the SD and try again.
- **FSOpenFile failed [...] payload.elf:** Missing payload file on SD. Make sure you have payload.elf in the wiiu folder.
- **FSOpenFile failed:** Missing `homebrew_launcher` on SD. Make sure you have `homebrew_launcher.elf` in the <code>/wiiu<wbr>/apps<wbr>/homebrew_launcher</code> folder.
### Data Management asks to delete unnecessary data, what does it mean?
This refers to leftover files from incomplete installs. Always choose Yes to delete this data, as it takes up space for no good reason. If it ever stays stuck on deleting the data in an infinite loop, you can manually delete the data yourself.
Use FTPiiU Everywhere and browse to `/storage_mlc/usr/import` then delete any files in the folder if any exists. This is where the partial installs exist after incomplete installs. It'll be `/storage_usb/usr/import` if installed to a USB.
The `import` folder should always be kept empty.
### My HDD doesn't work or makes a weird clicking sound, what should I do?
The reason behind that is that the Wii U doesn't give enough power through one USB port to use the Hard Drive.
You can fix this by either using a powered HDD or using a Y-Cable to connect the HDD to two USB ports.
If your HDD worked for some time and then stopped working for some games/all games, it is the same issue and can be fixed with the same methods.
### When extracting some of the files there are duplicates of certain ones called "info.json" & "manifest.install", what do I do with those?
Nothing special, you can leave them there, delete them or replace them with new ones. Those files are not used in the process, therefore, won't have any impact by being or not being there.
### My console suddenly lost online connectivity and I have an HDD sitting on top of the console, what should I do?
The internal antenna may have been influenced by the hard drive magnet.
You can move the HDD to a different position atop the Wii U, or move it off the Wii U entirely.

## Browser Exploit {docsify-ignore}
To install CFW, we first need to launch the Homebrew Launcher through the browser exploit. Make sure your Wii U has internet access for this step.
### Instructions
1. Take the SD Card out of your computer and plug it into your Wii U console.
1. Launch the Internet Browser and navigate to the website `wiiuexploit.xyz`.
1. Click on `Run Homebrew Launcher!`. Your console should launch the Homebrew Launcher.
- If your Wii U gets stuck on a white or otherwise frozen screen, wait a few seconds. If nothing happens, reboot the console, [reset the browser's save data](https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1507/~/how-to-delete-the-internet-browser-history) and try again.

## Choose Your DS VC Game
The first thing to decide is what DS Virtual Console ("VC") game you will buy.
Please note that the game you injected Haxchi/CBHC into will not be playable anymore until you uninstall Haxchi/CBHC and reinstall the game from the eShop.
### Compatible DS VC Games
?> If you have a European region console, there is a chance that you might already have got <code>Dr. Kawashima's <wbr>Brain <wbr>Training: <wbr>How <wbr>Old <wbr>is <wbr>Your <wbr>Brain?</code> for free. Head over [to the eShop](https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/8563/~/how-to-view-previously-downloaded-titles-on-wii-u) and check if you got the game.
If you do not own any of the games listed below, we recommend buying Brain Age (North America) or Brain Training (Europe) as it currently is in the cheapest price bracket of compatible games and is the game we least expect you to want to play.

## Launching CFW {docsify-ignore}
Now that you have your NAND backup in case anything goes wrong later, you can run CFW on your system.
Unlike systems such as the DSi, Wii, or 3DS, Wii U CFW is temporary. This means that as soon as your system reboots, you will lose CFW and have to follow these instructions again. This can be skipped by installing CBHC to a Haxchi CFW installation.
!> Installing CBHC incorrectly can brick your Wii U. Make sure to follow the following rules when installing CBHC: <br>- The DS game has to be legitimately installed from the eShop! <br>- Don't format the system while CBHC is installed! <br>- Don't delete the user account that bought the DS Virtual Console game! <br>- Don't re-install the same game using WUP Installer or from the eShop! <br>- Don't install Haxchi over CBHC! <br>- Don't uninstall the DS Virtual Console game without [properly uninstalling CBHC first](../uninstall-cbhc)! <br>- Don't move the DS Virtual Console game to a USB drive!
!> Breaking one of the above rules will result in a brick.
### Instructions
1. Take the SD Card out of your PC and plug it into your Wii U.
1. If you haven't already, now download your DS Virtual Console game of choice from the eShop.
1. Launch the Homebrew Launcher on your system as [previously explained](browser-exploit).
1. Navigate the Homebrew Launcher and open the Haxchi app.
1. Use the DPAD to navigate the cursor to the game you want to install Haxchi to and press the A button to install it.
1. Once the installation has finished, your console will launch the Wii U Menu. You will see your game replaced by a Haxchi icon.
1. Run the modified DS game. This will reboot the console and enable CFW.
1. Run the modified DS game again and hold the A button after launching it. This will run the Homebrew Launcher.
1. Navigate the Homebrew launcher and run the CBHC app.
1. Use the DPAD to navigate the cursor to the game you previously installed Haxchi to and press the A button to install CBHC.
1. Once the installation has finished, your console will launch the Wii U Menu.
1. Reboot your console. If CBHC installed correctly, you should see a new boot menu.
1. Use the DPAD to navigate to `Autoboot: Disabled` and press the A button until it says `Autoboot: System Menu`.
1. Use the DPAD to navigate to `Boot System Menu` and press the A button. This will launch the Wii U Menu with CFW enabled.
1. Your console now automatically boots into CFW every reboot.
1. You can now re-attach any USB devices you had attached before starting the guide.

## Making a NAND Backup {docsify-ignore}
In case anything should go wrong in the later process and your Wii U ends up bricked, restoring a previously made NAND backup can fix it.
### Instructions
?> The Wii U NAND is (depending on your model) either 8GB or 32GB. As a result of this, to create a full backup of your console's NAND, your SD Card has to be larger than the size of your NAND. If you do not have a large enough SD Card, you can skip the optional `MLC` section which includes save files and game data and is not needed to recover most types of bricks.
?> Restoring a NAND Backup on the Wii U requires additional hardware and micro soldering skills. <br>However, making a NAND Backup is **always** useful, so please do not skip it. <br>Your NAND Backup is unique to your system. Backups from other consoles **won't** work.
1. Navigate through the Homebrew Launcher and launch the `Wii U NAND Dumper` app.
1. Use the Wii U Gamepad's DPAD to enter the following configuration:
- Dump SLC: **yes**
- Dump SLCCMPT: **yes**
- Dump MLC: **optional**
- Dump OTP: **yes**
- Dump SEEPROM: **yes**
1. Press the A button to start the dumping process.
1. When the process completed, power off your Wii U, take your SD Card out of the Wii U and plug it into your PC.
1. To make sure you don't lose the files, copy the `slc.bin`, `slccmpt.bin`, `seeprom.bin`, `otp.bin` and if you chose to go with a full backup, `every mlc.bin.part` file to your computer.
1. Delete the files from your SD Card to free up space.

# Choose The CFW You Want
---
?> Before starting, make sure to update your Wii U console to the latest firmware (5.5.4 for European consoles, 5.5.3 for all other regions) if you haven't already.
There are two main CFWs: Haxchi/ColdBootHaxchi (CBHC) or Mocha.
Haxchi/CBHC are both injected into a paid DS VC game, while Mocha is only used with the web browser exploit and Indexiine, which makes it the only free CFW.
## Haxchi
- Requires a legitimately installed paid DS VC game from the eShop.
- Can be used to launch CFW directly from the Wii U Menu.
- Needs to be re-launched from the Wii U Menu every reboot to enable CFW.
- Its functionality can be extended by installing ColdBootHaxchi (CBHC) to a Haxchi installation.
### [**Continue with Haxchi**](haxchi/ds-vc-choice) {docsify-ignore}
## CBHC
!> Installing CBHC incorrectly can brick your Wii U! Make sure to follow the following rules when installing CBHC: <br>- The DS game has to be legitimately installed from the eShop! <br>- Don't format the system while CBHC is installed! <br>- Don't delete the user account that bought the DS VC game! <br>- Don't re-install the same game using WUP Installer or from the eShop! <br>- Don't install Haxchi over CBHC! <br>- Don't uninstall the DS Virtual Console game without [properly uninstalling CBHC first](uninstall-cbhc)! <br>- Don't move the DS Virtual Console game to a USB drive!
!> Breaking one of the above rules **will** result in a brick!
- Requires a legitimately installed paid DS VC game from the eShop.
- Automatically launches CFW on every boot.
### [**Continue with CBHC**](cbhc/ds-vc-choice) {docsify-ignore}
## Mocha
- Does not require any game, and is therefore free.
- Needs to be re-launched through the browser exploit every reboot to enable CFW.
- Is not compatible with the Homebrew Launcher Channel.
- May require an Internet connection depending on what entry point you choose.

# Haxchi
## Browser Exploit {docsify-ignore}
To install CFW, we first need to launch the Homebrew Launcher through the browser exploit. Make sure your Wii U has internet access for this step.
### Instructions
1. Take the SD Card out of your computer and plug it into your Wii U console.
1. Launch the Internet Browser and navigate to the website `wiiuexploit.xyz`.
1. Click on `Run Homebrew Launcher!`. Your console should launch the Homebrew Launcher.
- If your Wii U gets stuck on a white or otherwise frozen screen, wait a few seconds. If nothing happens, reboot the console, [reset the browser's save data](https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1507/~/how-to-delete-the-internet-browser-history) and try again.

# Haxchi {docsify-ignore-all}
## Choose Your DS VC Game
The first thing to decide is what DS Virtual Console ("VC") game you will buy.
Please note that the game you injected Haxchi/CBHC into will not be playable anymore until you uninstall Haxchi/CBHC and reinstall the game from the eShop.
### Compatible DS VC Games
?> If you have a European region console, there is a chance that you might already have got <code>Dr. Kawashima's <wbr>Brain <wbr>Training: <wbr>How <wbr>Old <wbr>is <wbr>Your <wbr>Brain?</code> for free. Head over [to the eShop](https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/8563/~/how-to-view-previously-downloaded-titles-on-wii-u) and check if you got the game.
If you do not own any of the games listed below, we recommend buying Brain Age (North America) or Brain Training (Europe) as it currently is in the cheapest price bracket of compatible games and is the game we least expect you to want to play.

# Haxchi
## Launching CFW {docsify-ignore}
Now that you have your NAND backup in case anything goes wrong later, you can run CFW on your system.
Unlike systems such as the DSi, Wii, or 3DS, Wii U CFW is temporary. This means that as soon as your system reboots, you will lose CFW and have to follow these instructions again. This can be skipped by installing CBHC to a Haxchi CFW installation.
### Instructions
?> If the install fails for some reason, try uninstalling and redownloading the DS VC game from the eShop and make sure it is being installed to the NAND.
1. Take the SD Card out of your PC and plug it into your Wii U.
1. If you haven't already, now download your DS VC game of choice from the eShop.
1. Launch the Homebrew Launcher on your system as [previously explained](browser-exploit).
1. Navigate the Homebrew Launcher and open the Haxchi app.
1. Use the DPAD to navigate the cursor to the game you want to install Haxchi to and press the A button to install it.
1. Once the installation has finished, your console will launch the Wii U Menu. You will see your game replaced by a Haxchi icon.
1. Run the modified DS game. This will reboot the console and enable CFW.
1. You will need to run your Haxchi DS game every reboot to launch CFW.
1. You can now re-attach any USB devices you had attached before starting the guide.

# Haxchi
## Making a NAND Backup {docsify-ignore}
In case anything should go wrong in the later process and your Wii U ends up bricked, restoring a previously made NAND backup can fix it.
### Instructions
?> The Wii U NAND is (depending on your model) either 8GB or 32GB. As a result of this, to create a full backup of your console's NAND, your SD Card has to be larger than the size of your NAND. If you do not have a large enough SD Card, you can skip the optional `MLC` section which includes save files and game data and is not needed to recover most types of bricks.
?> Restoring a NAND Backup on the Wii U requires additional hardware and micro soldering skills. <br>However, making a NAND Backup is **always** useful, so please do not skip it. <br>Your NAND Backup is unique to your system. Backups from other consoles **won't** work.
1. Navigate through the Homebrew Launcher and launch the `Wii U NAND Dumper` app.
1. Use the Wii U Gamepad's DPAD to enter the following configuration:
- Dump SLC: **yes**
- Dump SLCCMPT: **yes**
- Dump MLC: **optional**
- Dump OTP: **yes**
- Dump SEEPROM: **yes**
1. Press the A button to start the dumping process.
1. When the process completed, power off your Wii U, take your SD Card out of the Wii U and plug it into your PC.
1. To make sure you don't lose the files, copy the `slc.bin`, `slccmpt.bin`, `seeprom.bin`, `otp.bin` and if you chose to go with a full backup, `every mlc.bin.part` file to your computer.
1. Delete the files from your SD Card to free up space.

# Wii U Hacks Guide
A guide collaboration between Nintendo Homebrew's Helpers and Staff, from stock to CBHC custom firmware.
?> **Discord Help** For live support with this guide please visit us in **#wiiu-assistance** on the [Nintendo Homebrew Discord](https://discord.gg/C29hYvh) and ask, in English, for assistance. Please read the FAQ first to see if your question has already been answered.
> If you appreciate this guide, we accept [donations](donations).
> For complete guides to homebrew and custom firmware for other devices, check out [hacks.guide](https://hacks.guide).
### Homebrew
> Homebrew applications are custom, user-made software, which havent been authorized by Nintendo. This can include save editing tools, games, emulators, and more.
>
> Homebrew can be run on your Wii U as long as you have a way to put files on an SD Card and your Wii U is updated to the latest version for your region.
### Custom Firmware
> Custom Firmware ("CFW") enables you to use more advanced hacks that userland homebrew cant easily do. For instance, installing game modifications with ease. CFW can be set up on any console on the latest version.
### Homebrew & CFW Uses
>
> Among other things, it allows you to do the following:
>
> - Use “ROM hacks” for games that you own.
> - Backup, edit and restore saves for many games.
> - Play games for older systems with various emulators, using RetroArch or other standalone emulators.
> - Play out-of-region games.
> - Dump your Wii U game discs to a format that can be installed on your internal or external Wii U storage drive.
### End Goal
> This guide has the end goal of taking a completely unmodified Wii U from stock to custom firmware.
### Before Starting
!> Before beginning the guide, you must know the risks of Wii U hacking: **EVERY** time you modify your system, there is always the potential for an **UNRECOVERABLE** brick. Theyre rare but still a possibility so make sure you follow **ALL** directions **EXACTLY!**
>
> This guide will work on all Wii U consoles in all regions on firmware 5.5.4 or below.
>
> You will need the following in order to successfully follow this guide:
>
> - An SD Card.
> - A device such as a computer to place files onto the SD Card.
> - A Wii U with internet access.
>
> Your SD Card should preferably be 32 gigabytes large, as a full NAND backup for the console will take up around 8 or 30 gigabytes depending on your model.
If everything goes according to plan, you will lose no data and end up with everything that you started with (games, NNID, saves, etc will be preserved).
Keep your device plugged in throughout the entire process to avoid data loss or damage from an unexpected power-off.
With the exception of CBHC, Custom Firmware is not permanent with current methods and will be unloaded upon rebooting the system.
It is advised that you read the entire guide from start to finish one or more times before actually running through the guide with your system.

# Mocha - Online Exploit
## Browser Exploit {docsify-ignore}
To install CFW, we first need to launch the Homebrew Launcher through the browser exploit. Make sure your Wii U has internet access for this step.
### Instructions
1. Take the SD Card out of your computer and plug it into your Wii U console.
1. Launch the Internet Browser and navigate to the website `wiiuexploit.xyz`.
1. Click on `Run Homebrew Launcher!`. Your console should launch the Homebrew Launcher.
- If your Wii U gets stuck on a white or otherwise frozen screen, wait a few seconds. If nothing happens, reboot the console, [reset the browser's save data](https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1507/~/how-to-delete-the-internet-browser-history) and try again.

# Mocha - Online Exploit
## Launching CFW {docsify-ignore}
Now that you have your NAND backup in case anything goes wrong later, you can run CFW on your system.
Unlike systems such as the DSi, Wii, or 3DS, Wii U CFW is temporary. This means that as soon as your system reboots, you will lose CFW and have to follow these instructions again. This can be skipped by installing CBHC to a Haxchi CFW installation.
### Instructions
1. Take the SD Card out of your PC and plug it into your Wii U.
1. Launch the Homebrew Launcher on your system as [previously explained](browser-exploit).
1. Navigate the Homebrew Launcher and open the Mocha CFW app.
1. It will take you back to the Homebrew Launcher and enable CFW.
1. You will need to re-do these steps every reboot to launch CFW.

# Mocha - Online Exploit
## Making a NAND Backup {docsify-ignore}
In case anything should go wrong in the later process and your Wii U ends up bricked, restoring a previously made NAND backup can fix it.
### Instructions
?> The Wii U NAND is (depending on your model) either 8GB or 32GB. As a result of this, to create a full backup of your console's NAND, your SD Card has to be larger than the size of your NAND. If you do not have a large enough SD Card, you can skip the optional `MLC` section which includes save files and game data and is not needed to recover most types of bricks.
?> Restoring a NAND Backup on the Wii U requires additional hardware and micro soldering skills. <br>However, making a NAND Backup is **always** useful, so please do not skip it. <br>Your NAND Backup is unique to your system. Backups from other consoles **won't** work.
1. Navigate through the Homebrew Launcher and launch the `Wii U NAND Dumper` app.
1. Use the Wii U Gamepad's DPAD to enter the following configuration:
- Dump SLC: **yes**
- Dump SLCCMPT: **yes**
- Dump MLC: **optional**
- Dump OTP: **yes**
- Dump SEEPROM: **yes**
1. Press the A button to start the dumping process.
1. When the process completed, power off your Wii U, take your SD Card out of the Wii U and plug it into your PC.
1. To make sure you don't lose the files, copy the `slc.bin`, `slccmpt.bin`, `seeprom.bin`, `otp.bin` and if you chose to go with a full backup, `every mlc.bin.part` file to your computer.
1. Delete the files from your SD Card to free up space.

# Blocking Updates
---
All currently known Wii U exploits can, unlike e.g. the Nintendo Switch RCM exploit, be patched by a system update. Although the Wii U is no longer officially supported, Nintendo may still release updates for it. Namely, the updates 5.5.3 and 5.5.4 were both released after the Wii U was discontinued, so blocking updates is still a recommended action.
### Instructions
Currently, two ways exist to block updates on the Wii U system:
<!-- tabs:start -->
#### **Deleting The Update Folder**
?> This method of update blocking is a bit more advanced than DNS Blocking and uses a homebrew app to modify system files. However, it has the advantage that the eShop's functionality will not be restricted.
1. Plug your SD Card into your Computer.
1. Download and extract [UFDiine](https://github.com/GaryOderNichts/UFDiine/releases) to the root of your SD Card.
1. Plug the SD Card into your Wii U console and power it on.
1. Enter the Homebrew Launcher.
1. Navigate the Homebrew Launcher and run the UFDiine app.
1. Press the A button to delete the update folder.
1. Confirm that it says `Update folder is deleted`. You are now blocking updates.
### **DNS Blocking**
?> This method is the easier method and is recommended to less advanced users. It does, however, prevent the eShop from working. This can be worked around by running [NNUPatcher](http://www.wiiubru.com/appstore/zips/nnupatcher.zip) before starting the eShop.
1. Plug your SD Card into your Computer.
1. Extract the `nnupatcher.zip` file to the root of your SD Card. If asked, overwrite any duplicate files.
1. Plug the SD Card into your Wii U console and power it on.
1. Enter the Wii U's system settings and navigate to `Internet > Connect to the Internet > Connection List >` `Your WiFi connection > Change Settings > DNS` and set the option to `Do not auto-obtain`.
1. You will be asked to input a primary and secondary DNS. Enter the following IP addresses:
- Primary DNS: 168.235.092.108
- Secondary DNS: 081.004.127.020 <img src="docs/assets/img/DNS.png" alt="DNS Block" />
1. Click on confirm.
1. You are now blocking updates. In order to access the eShop, run the NNUPatcher app from the Homebrew Launcher before launching the eShop.
