Team-orangeBlue: fix sd preparation typos (2)

== Installing PayloadLoader with Bluubomb ==

You should really only follow this if you were redirected here due to unable to use the browser for some reason.

Notes:
* BluuBomb requires Linux. It's easiest in an Ubuntu VM.
* You will need a compatible Bluetooth adapter so keep that in mind (In my experience Realtek adapters do not work, although they should be supported.)

=== What you need ===
# BluuBomb
# [https://aroma.foryour.cafe Aroma]
#* Scroll down to the '''Download''' section.
#* Read through the steps and click on the checkboxes.
#* Click on <code>Download Payloads</code> and <code>Download Base Aroma</code>. Make sure to select the <code>fw.img loader</code> payload.
# [https://github.com/StroopwafelCFW/minute_minute/releases/ Minute]
#* You will need the <code>fw.img</code> file

=== SD Preparation ===
# Copy the '''contents''' of the Aroma <code>.zip</code> files to the root of the SD Card.
# Copy the <code>root.rpx</code> file from the <code>sd:/wiiu/environments</code> folder to root of the SD Card, and rename to <code>launch.rpx</code>.
#* Also create a file called <code>autoboot.cfg</code> in <code>sd:/wiiu/environments/aroma</code>, insert <code>wiiu_menu</code> into it, and save the file.
# Copy the <code>fw.img</code> to the root of the SD card as <code>fw.img</code>.
# Insert the SD Card into the Wii U.

=== Setting up and using BluuBomb ===
Follow [[/Setup | this]] to set up BluuBomb.

=== Installing the PayloadLoader into Health and Safety ===
# Launch the PayloadLoader Installer from the Wii U Menu.
# Press A to select <code>Check</code>.
# Press A on <code>Install / Update</code>.
# You’ll be asked if you are sure you want to install the PayloadLoader. Use the D-Pad to select <code>Install</code> and press A.
# Press A to shut down the console.

=== NAND Backup ===
# Insert your SD card in your computer.
# Open the folder <code>/wiiu/payloads</code>.
#* Rename the <code>default</code> folder to <code>envloader</code>.
#* Rename the <code>fw_img_loader</code> folder to <code>default</code>.
# Reinsert your SD card into the Wii U.
# Launch Health and Safety. The minute menu should load.
# Using POWER on the console to navigate and EJECT to confirm, do the following:
#* Enter <code>Backup and Restore</code>
#* Do <code>Dump OTP and SEEPROM</code>
#* Do <code>Dump SLC.RAW</code>
#* Do <code>Dump SLCCMPT.RAW</code>
#** If you get an ECC error, ignore it, unless you see that the error is uncorrectable. If the latter is the case, you should ask for help on the Nintendo Homebrew Discord server.
# To make sure you don’t lose the files, copy the <code>SLC.RAW</code>, <code>SLCCMPT.RAW</code>, <code>seeprom.bin</code>, <code>otp.bin</code> to your computer.
# Delete the files to free up space on the SD Card.
# Rename the folders in <code>/wiiu/payloads</code> to
#* <code>default</code> -> <code>fw_img_loader</code>
#* <code>envloader</code> -> <code>default</code>

=== Autobooting PayloadLoader ===
# Start the console to boot into the Wii U Menu, launch the Health and Safety Information app.
# Navigate the list using the D-Pad and navigate to the <code>aroma</code> environment, press A to launch it.
# Select <code>Wii U Menu</code>.
# Back at the Wii U Menu, launch the PayloadLoader Installer.
# Press A to select <code>Check</code>.
# Select <code>Boot Options</code>.
# You will be asked if you want to switch the boot title. Press A to select <code>Switch to PayloadLoader</code>.
# When the process finished, press A to shutdown the console.
# The PayloadLoader will now be launched automatically on every boot.

=== Finalizing Setup ===
It is now a good idea to finalize your PayloadLoader installation. You can find a guide on this [[wiiuguide:aroma/finalizing-setup | here]].
