## 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 open `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, [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.

## 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 `hbc`. 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.
|
||||
|
||||
### 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 VC game of choice from the eShop.
|
||||
1. Launch the Homebrew Launcher on your system as [previously explained](user-guide/cbhc/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 8 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) and Mocha.
|
||||
|
||||
## **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**](user-guide/haxchi/sd-preparation) {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
|
||||
|
||||
!> Breaking one of the above rules will result in a brick.
|
||||
|
||||
- Same (dis)advantages as Haxchi, but automatically launches CFW on every boot.
|
||||
|
||||
### [**Continue with CBHC**](user-guide/cbhc/sd-preparation) {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.

|

## 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 open `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, [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.

## 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](user-guide/mocha/browser-exploit).
|
||||
1. Navigate the Homebrew Launcher and open the Mocha app.
|
||||
1. Your console will launch the Wii U Menu and enable CFW.
|
||||
1. You will need to re-do these steps every reboot to launch cfw.

## 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 8 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.
