Installing ISFShax on a Wii U Console

[@AidanMedeiros-h6d]

Glad to see people still doing this my wiiu has been dead for year or 3 and I wanna play through wind waker again

thanks man! you rock

I just found out that Wii Us are dying due to bad eMMC chips. Mine is still working but I want to preserve it. I hope that installing ISFShax and redNAND will fix it (i don't know how to do it). Thanks for at least some help with this difficult issue.

use wiiuident to see if your console has a Hynix nand from 2012-2013; if it's not both of those, it will be fine for the foreseeable future still install isfs just cause it has a bunch of extra utility aroma cant provide be careful following video guides like this though as they can become outdated fast and that's particularly dangerous with isfs as it poses brick risk

@@fusee_gelee Thanks, man

There are guides for a RedNAND and ISFShax. I made this video because some people prefer seeing how it is done rather than reading about it. Guide can be found here: gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-set-up-isfshax.642258/ and the RedNAND is here gbatemp.net/threads/fixing-system-memory-error-160-0103-failing-emmc-without-soldering-using-rednand-with-isfshax.642268/

Why does the written guide have a different setup? I'm following the written guide that was linked and it said my ios.img wasnt working when I tried to boot it.

[@Tzirf]

because these tools are updated on a regular basis currently and with those updates there are slight changes in how to setup the SD Card and proceed. Where as this video is 3 months old.

Any suggestions if i cant get into the recovery menu? Its purple light so i know i got into recovery but nothing is on screen. Ive tried both of the recovery options too...

[@Tzirf]

You can do a blind install of ISFShax and it may fix the video output. Otherwise you would have to use Defuse. 6x power, 1x eject, wait a few seconds for the installer to load, then 3x Eject, 1x Power, 3x Eject. If successful the console should power off. Power it back on and see if you get the minute menu on screen.

I'm having trouble so when I select load boot1 payload it restarts to the Wii u logo and goes to that error page. Do you think it's the boot img? Or something?

[@Tzirf]

The Wii U error page that shows something like 160-0103? If so its not loading the boot1 payload. Redownload it and make sure the SD card is formatted properly and the files are in the correct directories.
