Ok so since the wii u is dead (almost) someone took the time out and released an exploit for it!

Its kinda tedious but nothing too bad.

Things you'll need:

Wii U(5.5.1 and below)
Computer
SD card
SD reader

Files:
MEGA
-You'll only need one folder from this, "wii u," from folder b. Has every thing you need.

AtLongLast.zip
-gonna need these files to host a web server on your comp. wii u will load the exploit via the browser, using the files located on your computer


So this is going to be ripped straight from here:
[Tutorial] Running kexploit 5.5.X w/ HaxServer (Loadiine, Homebrew Launcher, etc...)

Step 1: Downloading HaxServer

For this tutorial, you will need Java 8, HaxServer, and your port 80 opened on your router/firewalls and make sure nothing uses it (usually it's web servers).

1. Download the kexploit + haxserver (AtLongLast.zip) there: AtLongLast.zip
Note: If you have a EU console also get this link: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8225581/HaxServer.jar

2. Make sure you have Java 8: java.com: Java + You (Skip this step if you do)
3. Open a command line window (in windows) or a terminal (linux/macosx).
4. Extract AtLongLast.zip to C:\kexploit (or wherever, but keep it short)
Note: For EU consoles, overwrite the HaxServer.jar with the one mentionned above in step 1.

5. Rename the folders as they are inverted. Example: atad = data; sdaolyap = payloads; sredaol = loaders
6. From your command line, go to the folder where HaxServer.jar is and type: java -jar HaxServer.jar (For linux and MacOSX you will need elevated priviledges. Use sudo java -jar HaxServer.jar)


ADDENDUM:

If you are on windows 10, and you try to run "haxserver" you might get an era from the command prompt about port 80 being in use, if so youll have to do this to get it free'd up:





7. Type "ipconfig" and check your ipv4 (looks like: 192.168.xxx.xxx)

NOTE: You will see Exploits: 0; Data: 0; Errors: 0. Totally normal, those numbers will change as you initiate a payload (kexploit or apps). MAKE SURE to use the command line so you can see if there is an error. If not, the command line will report the payload you are loading.

Now we got it running and we got our IP address !



Step 2: Preparing your SD Card

1. Put your SD card in your computer.
2. Download loadiine or homebrew browser and extract the contect on your SD card making sure the elf file is in wiiu/apps/(application name). IT NEEDS TO BE THE EXACT FOLDER NAME !

ADDENDUM:
Take the "wiiu" folder from the "selfhosting.zip", in folder b, and put it on you SDcard. It already has the folders you need.

Games need to be put on here in a certain way, if you choose to download them, most will already be set up this way and you can just drag them to the "games" folder on your sd card.

But, if your ripping from a disc or iso, youll need to dump the data accordingly.




untill the 2 minute mark or so (when he starts to talk about save files)




3. Put whatever games you want if you go for loadiine or whatever apps you want. There are several tutorials for this.
4. Take your SD card out, and put it in your WiiU


Step 3: Running the exploit

1. Start up your WiiU and go to the internet browser.
2. So we'll load up the Kernel10 payload first. Clear your cookies, and input the URL: http://192.168.XXX.XXX/hax?kexploit10 (Note that XXX is whatever you got from ipconfig). You will see the hack load.
3. It will return you to your the home menu, go back in the web browser (clear cookies again) and type: http://192.168.XXX.XXX/hax?loadiine or http://192.168.XXX.XXX/hax?launcher (or any other payloads you'd like to launch).

Et voila ! Exploit running.
IF IT CRASHES DON'T PANIC, you may get stuck at a video loading screen or getting a RaceAttack error, just shut down your console and redo the "Running the exploit" it may take a few tries.​


added a couple of additional things that i stumbled across trying to figure out. but its working. just tried lego batman. about to try starfox and pokken tournament.

I forgot to add, Nintendo updates the wii u automatically if it has an internet connection, but you can block the updates.

The Definitive Guide to Wii U Hacking

go to the "GETTING TO (AND STAYING ON) AN EXPLOITABLE FIRMWARE"

section of the first post, then go to the "How do i block updates"

If you wanna know how to best avoid them.
