Wii U:ISFShax: Difference between revisions

Line 9:

*Providing a minimal CFW that can launch old homebrew using the homebrew launcher (though this might be less useful with Aroma and Tiramisu available)

*Preventing the Wii U from turning on the Tablet during boot using a stroopwafel plugin

{{info|text= To protect against Nintendo pushing a boot1 update, which would brick a console with ISFShax, '''system updates get blocked''' by the <code>wafel_isfshax_patch</code> plugin. If you need to perform a system update, use v1.0 of said plugin, which doesn't contain the update block.}}

== Exploit Methods ==

Line 15:

Line 17:

*If you already have Tiramisu or Aroma installed and can launch it, follow the Instructions for Aroma

*If you already have Haxchi or CBHC installed, follow Instructions for Haxchi

*If the Browser still works and you can launch the browser exploit u.wiidb.de, follow the Instructions for Browser

*If you can't access the Browser, but Settings still work follow Instructions for DNSpresso

Line 20:

Line 23:

*If your Wii U can't launch the browser anymore or can't connect to the internet, follow the Instructions for UDPIH

~~{{info|text= Note: If you have a legacy CFW (Haxchi, CBHC) installed you can also use it, but follow the Aroma steps and hold A instead of B.}}~~

Make sure your SD card is FAT32, although this should already be the case if you have an environment installed.

===Launching ~~environments~~ with ISFShax ===

{{info|text= If your console bootloops through minute over and over again, you're probably coldbooting Aroma or Tiramisu and replaced the <code>wiiu/payload.elf</code> with the fw_img loader. Just replace it with the proper <code>wiiu/payload.elf</code> for Aroma [https://github.com/wiiu-env/PayloadLoaderPayload/releases here] (This also applies to Tiramisu).}}

===Launching Aroma/Tiramisu with ISFShax ===

You can use ISFShax to boot into Aroma or Tiramisu.

To begin, you will need the latest files from the sites.

Line 216:

{{info|text=The Wii U will first try to load the fw.img from the SLC, and if that fails, it will fall back to the SD. If you install a broken fw.img that doesn't load, you can force ISFShax to load the fw.img from the SD by repeatedly pressing the power button until the menu shows up.}}

{{warning|text=A factory reset will delete the hax folder. Without the fw.img on the SD, the Wii U will boot with minimal patches.}}

{{warning|text=A factory reset will delete the hax folder. Without the fw.img on the SD, the Wii U will boot with minimal patches, but some actions (such as leaving the System Settings) may be slower. It's recommended to set up minute and stroopwafel again.}}

===Autobooting with SD (Optional) ===

Line 219:

Line 230:

You can adjust the timeout (in seconds) to your preference. The <code>autoboot</code> option determines which entry from the minute menu will be loaded. Setting it to <code>1</code> corresponds to <code>Patch (slc) and boot IOS (slc)"</code>, which loads the ios_plugins from the SLC. If you haven't installed them to the SLC or want to load them from the SD for any reason, change the value to <code>3</code>, which corresponds to <code>"Patch (sd) and boot IOS (slc)</code>.

{{info|text=If you combine autobooting minute with the wafel_payloader plugin, ~~You~~ can autoboot Aroma or Tiramisu without having Health and Safety injected at all!}}

#Delete the /storage_slc/sys/hax folder if you have set up SLC booting.

# Run the ISFShax installer again from minute and follow the on-screen instructions to uninstall.
