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 up to 5.5.6 were all released after the Wii U was discontinued, so blocking updates is still a recommended action.

While Aromas's PayloadLoader already has built-in update blocking functionality, it is recommended to delete the update folder to effectively block system updates. If you get a red warning screen while booting into Aroma, the update folder still exists and it is recommended to delete it using the guide below.

Instructions {docsify-ignore}

Currently, one way exists to effectively block updates on the Wii U system:

  1. Plug your SD Card into your Computer.
  2. Download UFDiine and copy the UFDiine.wuhb file to sd:/wiiu/apps on the root of your SD Card.
  3. Plug the SD Card into your Wii U console and boot Aroma.
  4. Navigate the Wii U Menu and run the UFDiine app.
  5. Press the A button to delete the update folder.
  6. Confirm that it says Update folder is deleted.
  7. Exit UFDiine. You are now blocking updates.
