Making a NAND Backup
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 MLC 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 MLC. 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 any type of brick.
?> Restoring a NAND Backup on the Wii U requires ISFShax or additional hardware and microsoldering skills.
However, making a NAND Backup is always useful, so please do not skip it.
Your NAND Backup is unique to your system. Backups from other consoles won't work without the required knowledge.
