Lazr: Bluubomb is an exploit of all time

Bluubomb is an exploit of all time

New page

== 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>.

=== SD Prep ===
# 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>.
#* If you do not have a Gamepad, create a file named <code>default.cfg</code> in <code>sd:/wiiu/environments</code>, insert <code>aroma</code> into it, and save the file.
#** 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.
# 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 `Check`.
# Press A on `Install / Update`.
# You’ll be asked if you are sure you want to install the PayloadLoader. Use the D-Pad to select `Install` and press A.
# Press A to shut down the console.

=== NAND Backup ===
{{Warning|A NAND Backup cannot be done without a GamePad. Please get a GamePad ASAP to perform a NAND Backup..}}
# Load the the Health and Safety application while holding B.
# Navigate to `nanddumper` and press A.
# Make the settings look like this and then press A. MLC is optional as it is the biggest part of the NAND Backup (8gb or 32gb depending on your model).
#* SLC: Yes
#* SLCCMPT: Yes
#* MLC: Optional
#* OTP: Yes
#* SEEPROM: Yes
# Wait for it to finish. It may take a few hours if you opted to dump MLC.
# To make sure you don’t lose the files, copy the <code>slc.bin</code>, <code>slccmpt.bin</code>, <code>seeprom.bin</code>, <code>otp.bin</code> and if you chose to go with a full backup, every <code>mlc.bin.part</code> file to your computer.
# Delete the files to free up space on the SD Card.

=== Autobooting PayloadLoader ===
# Start the console to boot into the Wii U Menu, launch the Health and Safety Information app.
#* If you have a Gamepad, hold the X button to open the Environment Loader menu.
# Navigate the list using the D-Pad and navigate to the <code>aroma</code> environment, press A to launch it.
#* You will get sent directly to the Wii U Menu if you created the <code>default.cfg</code> and <code>autoboot.cfg</code> in the previous steps.
# 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]].
