==<big>Diagnosing a CBHC brick (skip to Requirements if a helper linked you here)</big>== | |||
<big>A CBHC brick is when your console tries to boot to a missing title (the DS game that you used to inject Haxchi into). Here's what happens when you boot a CBHC bricked Wii U (in big lines).</big> | |||
#<big>You press the power button</big> | |||
#<big>Wii U goes through all of its boot stages</big> | |||
#<big>Wii U tries to find the set "home" title</big> | |||
#<big>No "home" title found</big> | |||
#<big>160-0101</big> | |||
<big>And here you are now!... Let's get started for the guide.</big> | |||

*<big>UDPIH for your appropriate device (see [https://github.com/GaryOderNichts/udpih/releases supported devices])</big> | |||
**[https://github.com/GaryOderNichts/udpih/releases <big>https://github.com/GaryOderNichts/udpih/releases/latest</big>] | |||
*<big>If you are using a Nintendo Switch, please download it using this link instead.</big> | |||

**<big>If you don't get any TV output during this guide, please download <code>recovery_menu_dc_init</code> instead and rename it to <code>recovery_menu</code></big> | |||
==<big>SD Preparation</big>== | |||
#<big>Put the downloaded <code>recovery_menu</code> on the root of the SD Card.</big> | |||
==<big>Flash UDPIH to your device</big>== | |||
===<big>If you are using a Pi Pico / Pico 2 / Any supported device that isn't a Switch</big>=== | |||
#<big>Flash the appropriate file to the appropriate device. '''This part of the guide will be focusing on the Pi Pico 1 and 2 but any Linux based device with USB emulation should work.'''</big> | |||
#<big>Hold the BOOTSEL button of your Pico while plugging it into the PC. It will show up as a flash drive with the following name: <code>RPI-RP2</code></big> | |||
#<big>Drag and drop the correct .uf2 file inside of your Pico. Disconnect it and it will reboot. '''Do not turn it off from now on.'''</big> | |||
===<big>If you are using a modded Nintendo Switch (vulnerable to RCM)</big>=== | |||
#<big>Open any RCM injector of your choice (the most popular ones are TegraRCMGui, JTegraNX and CrystalRCM).</big> | |||
#<big>Put your switch into RCM mode</big> | |||
#<big>Choose the .bin file for your Nintendo Switch and hit inject.</big> | |||
#<big>A new screen should pop up with multiple buttons from a list. To select something, press Power. To navigate around, press the volume buttons.</big> | |||
==<big>On the Wii U</big>== | |||
# <big> | #<big>Put the SD Card</big> <big>containing the <code>recovery_menu</code> at the root of it. It must be formatted in FAT32. [[Formatting an SD card|Follow this guide to format it correctly]].</big> | ||
# <big> | #<big>If you are using a Nintendo Switch, it is now time to Run the UDPIH gadget.</big> | ||
# <big> | #<big>Power on the Wii U. As soon as you see the Wii U logo, plug in the UPDIH device. It may take multiple tries, be patient.</big> | ||
#<big>As soon as the light is purple, you should be good to go. The menu should've loaded but if you get a distorted screen or even no TV output, retry it. If still nothing, download <code>recovery_menu_dc_init</code> as said in the 3rd step of Files to download.</big>[[File:Main menu of Recovery Menu by GaryOderNichts.png|thumb|Main menu of Recovery_Menu.Credits to GaryOderNichts for this screenshot.Click the image to zoom!]] | |||
#<big>Unlike in the minute menu, to navigate, you should use Eject and Power to select/choose an option.</big> | |||
#<big>Select the <code>Set Coldboot Title</code> option.</big> | |||
#<big>You should now see multiple options to set as your Coldboot title (which basically means what you want to boot to).</big> | |||
#<big>Select the Wii U Menu of your appropriate console region:</big> | |||
#*<code><big>Wii U Menu (JPN) - 00050010-10040000</big></code> | |||
#*<code><big>Wii U Menu (USA) - 00050010-10040100</big></code> | |||
#*<code><big>Wii U Menu (EUR) - 00050010-10040200</big></code> | |||
#*<big>If you are on an Australian console, select the European Wii U Menu.</big> | |||
#<big>Confirm the selection if it hasn't been already confirmed.</big> | |||
#<big>Once you're back at the main menu, shutdown the console.</big> | |||
==<big>Uninstalling CBHC after recovering from a brick</big>== | |||
<big>You may tell yourself why you couldn't use the CBHC uninstall guide on the main page.</big> | |||
<big>Well, basically, there's no HBL anymore.</big> | |||
#<big>Navigate to system settings and Data Management.</big> | |||
#<big>Go to wherever Haxchi was injected (generally your internal memory)</big> | |||
#<big>Uninstall the app. '''It is completely safe to do so as you are not automatically booting into CBHC anymore.'''</big> | |||
<big><br /> | |||
And there you go! You've successfully unbricked your Wii U and uninstalled CBHC.</big> | |||
<big>You can now format your SD Card following [[Formatting an SD card|this guide]] to delete any CBHC traces. Don't forget to backup anything important.</big> | |||
<big>Follow [[wiiuguide:aroma/getting-started.html|this guide to install Aroma]] and optionally Tiramisu if you ever need to run older homebrew!</big> | |||
