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
Aroma
- Scroll down to the Download section.
- Read through the steps and click on the checkboxes.
- Click on Download Payloads and Download Base Aroma. Make sure to select the fw.img loader payload.
Minute
- You will need the fw_encrypted.img file

SD Prep

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

Setting up and using BluuBomb

Follow 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

Insert your SD card in your computer.
Open the folder /wiiu/payloads.
- Rename the default folder to envloader.
- Rename the fw_img_loader folder to default.
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 Backup and Restore
- Do Dump OTP and SEEPROM
- Do Dump SLC.RAW
- Do Dump SLCCMPT.RAW
  - 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 SLC.RAW, SLCCMPT.RAW, seeprom.bin, otp.bin to your computer.
Delete the files to free up space on the SD Card.
Rename the folders in /wiiu/payloads to
- default -> fw_img_loader
- envloader -> default

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 aroma environment, press A to launch it.
Select Wii U Menu.
Back at the Wii U Menu, launch the PayloadLoader Installer.
Press A to select Check.
Select Boot Options.
You will be asked if you want to switch the boot title. Press A to select Switch to PayloadLoader.
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 here.
