This guide is now outdated since there is a software exploit that allows unbricking without soldering! There is a guide for it [https://gbatemp.net/threads/cbhc-unbrick-guide-without-soldering.613371/ here]. UDPIH not work if you somehow deleted OSv10 (00050010-1000400A), so you ''must'' hardmod the system. | This guide is now outdated since there is a software exploit that allows unbricking without soldering!

To unbrick the Wii U we will use an Rasberry Pi. I have only ever used an RPi0 but the pinouts should be the same on every RPi. If you want to use a Teensy to unbrick, refer to [https://gbatemp.net/threads/guide-kaflukes-hardmod-cbhc-unbrick-guide.476725/ this guide] | To unbrick the Wii U we will use an Rasberry Pi.

Take apart the Wii U, look up a teardown. | |||
Make sure you are VERY CAREFUL when soldering to these points. one mess up and your console may be dead for good. | |||

It should look like this when finished. Use that pad off to the side as <code>GND</code>. | |||

== Fixing the NAND == | |||
Note: Now depending on what the hell you did, you could be doing something WAY different. We will be fixing a CBHC brick and flashing back the entire SLC here. | |||
