Correction: You don't need SEEPROM, but you will want to backup OTP. Sorry about that! Also if you are having issues remove your disc and uninstall Tiramisu!
I was freaked out when i got up to 5:59 but i couldn't get to rhe update screen and i kept getting an error. However weirdly enough I removed my disc and it WORKED 😂 Thanks for the help👍
Wish I found this vid before system formatting lol. Had some trouble getting it to update because of Tiramisu even when off it was being wonky. I turned off the console from the screen saying "press any button to go to system settings" in decaffeinate and rebooted, went to system settings and worked great! Awesome vid.
I kinda ran into trouble like that when I went to update and finish everything my wii u told me that I'm on the latest update so now I can't do anything to finish the process any tips?

Hi, I need help with an issue I'm encountering while using vWii Decaffeinator. I installed vWii Decaffeinator and ran the "light" option, but when it tries to download the update, I get the error "Error 105-3102". I’ve tried powering off and restarting the console several times, but nothing changes. I also tried using the "force" option without success. In the "Download Management" section, I see a "Download Complete" message with instructions to turn the console off and on again, but it doesn’t seem to resolve the issue. For context, this mod was done a few years ago, and I believe I used Haxchi on the Wii U side to install the Homebrew Launcher. In my console settings, the version number shows as "99.99.99 E." I’m not sure what that means or if it could be related to the update issue. Can you help me figure out how to resolve this? Thank you!
Note that if you have a wii disc inserted into the console after doing the environment loader, it won't boot at all and come up with error code 160-0101.
Excellent video, here at 2 am with a cup of coffee, very tired and several attempts I was able to repair my vWii, thank you very much, now I will be able to go to sleep much more peacefully.
When i installed a theme for my vwii i realized my save data had a blank box in it and it was the first box which was weird and everytime i go to save data my vwii crashes after i exit wii options or go to the sd card save data. Could i do something else other than try to reinstall my vwii
You said Tiramisu will block updates. At 5:55 after pressing “switch back to Wii U Menu” do I need to redo all the steps with Decaffeinator, or will it automatically open the update tab next time I start the console?
It didnt auto open the update tab for me because I cant hold x to get to the payload switcher I have to open health and safety. Its a little unclear around 5:29 whether you have to physically shut the console off or just hold x. how do I switch it to launch the payload on boot rather rhan health and safety? @@Xemns
Hi, my Wii U shows error 160-0101 whenever i put a Wii disc and when i try to boot the vWii menu, it doesn't les me and it goes back to the Nintendo network account Selection screen. Will this tutoría help me? i dont Wanna mess anything up. I put some files to change the vWii region. Since then, this has happened. Also, if this video is useful, do i have to do the vWii homebrew part? I never installed that on my vWii and it seemed you got the menu alright. Thanks!!!
@@Xemns Hi! I tried going light Mode to see what happened but it didn't let me. Something popped for a milisecond so i recorded with my phone and it said, "Cannot open dev: /title/00000001" and "Cannot open dev: /ticket/00000001" in many lines. Do you know what the trouble could be? Thanks.
so yeah its not letting me system update to get my vwii back, i cant go into the vwii because theres nothing, i did all the up to 5:59 but that screen after it did not show that
got a secondhand wii u with a bricked vwii, it will boot into the health and safety menu but after that my wii u shuts off, i did all the steps in the tutorial (aggressive mode 2x regenerated settings 3x) and it's still the same, and since its secondhand i don't have a nand backup... is there anything i can do?? :p
Hi! I had bricked my vwii by doing (?? I have no idea) and it caused me to be unable to open any application, although I could access message board and memory. I used decaffeinator on both light and aggressive mode, but nothing has changed. I restored settings.txt as well. Is there a way I can restore it with the nand? I have a backup.
@Xemns yeah I have no idea what I did - all I did was mess with the boot settings a few times on tiramisu, and consequently, (due to wii remotes not turning off the console for some reason, and sometimes not connecting at all during this time,) having to unplug the wii u to turn it off. Anyways, I'll try running decaffeinator a few more times and see what happens.
I switched back to wii u menu from payloadloader installer but now my wii u yas the 160-0101 error and i cant boot on system settings Update:nevermine it was the wii disc i had for wii sports i had accidentally installed channel forwarders that were meant for the wii thinking that they would work on vwii but it was just showing a black screen whenever i launched my vwii menu but youre a lifesaver
Hi! I tried your tutorial but after decaffeinator and turning off Tiramisu autoboot nothing happens. Wii U says system is up to date. I have EUR version maybe thats the problem?
Are you sure that you made sure to reactivate updates through the application? If the Wii U system is up to date it should still work. Make sure that Tiramisu is fully turned off like I showed in the guide. Let me know if any of these options work out and thanks for watching!
@@Xemns Yes, the application want to update, then after reboot only the system settings popping up. I did everything like in the video. Luckily I have my WiiU NAND backup so there is a chance to restore the vWii partition.
Hmm... I'm not really sure what to say except to make sure you have done every step completely. Wii U's really shouldn't be different since the vWii is the same set of files that are encrypted by your console.
Hey! Well i had a problem with this (i use aroma) i used light mode and switched back to wii u menu normal but when i go to update options it doenst let me update (and yes i dont have a wii disc inserted) (Edit: nvm i fixed it)
@univon4892 I forgot to edit the comment that I already fixed it, what you have to do is unblock the update folder, to do this, while booting aroma hold + and then after that hold + and - until it says "Updates not blocked", then update the Wii u and when it finished test vwii and block updates again (doing the same process) and done! i hope this helps
It didn’t work. I have tiramisu, got the decaffeinator, used light mode. Switched installer to Wii U menu, updated, switched back to payloadloader, loaded the Wii menu and nothing worked. It was still a black screen
All I remember when it bricked was I installed a European Wii menu and it didn’t work. I then formatted the console. The next day I set it up and went to play new super Mario bros. Wii. The system menu bricked. This happened in august 2022. I’ve done easily over 10 attempts to fix it. Watching this video 4+ times. And by using GaryOderNichts vwii unbrick guide. Nothing has worked
If you don't have a NAND backup, then I really don't know what else you could do. Installing a different region menu is a bit silly in my opinion. Also, try doing a complete reinstall using aggressive mode.
Muchísimas gracias! logré recuperar mi VWii!! Lo único que no pude fue restaurar Tiramisu. Al iniciar "Información sobre seguridad" no pasa nada, solo el parpadeo... pero no logro entrar al modo donde se hace el reestablecimiento de tiramisu

vWiiNandRestorer is how you recover backups. However, you must repeat the process and uninstall Tiramisu. Then try updating again and checking your vWii!
@@Xemns Ok menu files. Got it. But do you know where that's located? If not that's ok but it would really help if you did and save me a lot of time. Thanks

Unfortunately there is no way from what I know. Even if you deleted the corrupted file through FTPII there is no way to reactivate the update trigger. You'll need to somehow get your hands on a gamepad even if it is temporary.

ive done all the steps correctly but for some reason when i try update it says error code 105-3029 ive been trying to figure out whats wrong ive been stuck on this for like 2 hours i just gave up bro
What do you mean by that? Are you anle to enter the vWii? Im guessing by you saying its not modded you might have to run the compat installer again to reinstall the homebrew channel
Hi Xemnas, thank you for your video and tutorial, but unfortunly i did'nt get the vWii works again, i followed step by step all the tuto but when i start the wii channel (on the wiiu) i got the Wii logo screen and few seconds after the wiiu shut down. Do you have any advise ? i choose the light methode and the aggressive method , i got the wiiu update but nothing happen (the Vwii) didn't work. My Wii U is a PAL version, FW 5.5.5 and tiramisu CFW. thanks
I bricked ma vwii by deleting the app file from the wii u in the vwii files cuz i wanted to install a dark theme but it jst gave me an error and the pal version of my vwii ws deleted and its saying the screen u had ast the start of vid. if i can download another app file that would very helpful.

Warning: Think twice about the Agressive Mode. It Bricked my Wii U beyond reparable. Got the 160-0101 Error Code. Even fix with UDPIH doesnt work. Just tellin you in hope no one repeats my mistake. Whish u all the best
Never ever have I recommended aggressive mode. And I also mentioned making a nand backup before doing it. Always use light mode unless your vWii is badly bricked.
Formatting will reset both from the system settings. However if you use a forwarder such as the news channel forwarder you can go through the vWii settings and format just the vWii.
For a real wii you should use priiloader and use a NAND backup you may have created in the past. If not, you may need to reinstall IOS files or System titles individually using a self service program such as NUS Downloader. Priiloader guide: wii.guide/priiloader.html
@Xemns whole Wii u I already had problems rn Wii u boots up and it's stuck on Wii u logo and that's it I need raspberry pi pico but I'm in project of jailbreaking a switch V2 rn

I did all of this and not only is my vWii not here anymore but now my Wii U isn’t hacked anymore
?
What do you mean by that? Are you anle to enter the vWii? Im guessing by you saying its not modded you might have to run the compat installer again to reinstall the homebrew channel
@@TheBubbyBubs Yup gotta remod vWii if you did a complete reinstall
It took me to setting was I suppose to click update because it brick my Wii U and I feel like I did something wrong🤔
You solve the problem? Please tell me how. I have the same problem
@@jefferpro92 I had to delete everything
Hi Xemnas, thank you for your video and tutorial, but unfortunly i did'nt get the vWii works again, i followed step by step all the tuto but when i start the wii channel (on the wiiu) i got the Wii logo screen and few seconds after the wiiu shut down. Do you have any advise ? i choose the light methode and the aggressive method , i got the wiiu update but nothing happen (the Vwii) didn't work. My Wii U is a PAL version, FW 5.5.5 and tiramisu CFW. thanks
Did the Wii U redownload the files fully?
@@Xemns yes , but still have this issue , maybe i should reinstalle the nand , what do you think ?
@@toughboy19xx Yes try that out and repeat the guide

@@Xemns I never Put a disc in🌚

Hi, I tried soft and hard options, system was updating as showed in the video (to the OK button), but bouth times after updating I have only black screen whan I try to launch Wii menu. Please help me - my daughter will kill me without Mario Galaxy)))
Do you have any NAND backup? Try doing the process again but you might have bricked beyond repair unfortunately.
@@Xemns No I dont have NAND backup that is why I m using this method- How to unbrick/reinstall the vWii Menu without a NAND Backup....WIIU games work without any problems... only WII....Maybe I should try rebuild settings.txt?
@@VamVsemPizdec_OK Just try doing it again. Are you sure it is actually updating and not saying "The system is already up to date".
Yes Im sure the update go with status bar about 5 minutes
@@VamVsemPizdec_OK Did you manage to solve it?
Ok, so if I’m on the d2x Custom IOS Installer, and the only options it’s giving me as far as cIOS’ are:
d2x v4
d2x v5
d2x v6
v10 beta53 d2x-v10-beta53-alt
v10 beta52 d2x-v10-beta52
Am I messing something up?
v10 beta52 d2x-v10-beta52 is the right one
@@Xemns if it’s the vWii?
@@benbushman7687 You have the wrong version and might brick if you use it. Redownload it.
i deleted the updates folder shall i add them back?
it might brick my wii u as a whole
did you do it?
hey how did u add ur updates folder and what happened
Don't add it back. Leave as is
I tried this and it wouldn't let me update the console it says I'm up to date
Try again, you may have done a step wrong or forgotten to turn off CFW
@Xemns ill try that and update you when I can
@@floebro let me know!
Hii i need some help, i didn't understand what app you use to made the backup of the OTP, can you pleas explain me?
The app is Wii U Nand Dumper. Sorry for forgetting to add it to the description! Here is the link: github.com/koolkdev/wiiu-nanddumper/releases
Can it brick my wiiu for making a update?
No. It is safe to update as long as you uninstall as shown in this video
Can you upload toturial how to use wad manager to play wii shop games
I might consider it. It is relatively easy to do. All you need is Wii Mod Lite and whatever WAD it is for the game you want to install.
@@Xemns i mean in vwii
Can i access to date and time and changed it in cfw wii u?
Because i neet to change it for nusspli and sorry for too many question😂 ,but your the one help me alot and thanks bro
You can't have a separate date and time for your vWii
This worked! THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤
Thanks for watching!
do this works in a wii or it is just for wii U. also, my wii have the menu brick so i cannot connect it to internet. this process will work even without the internet connection?
This is Wii U only. You need Priiloader to unbrick a regular Wii!
@@Xemns i have priiloader install. do you know a way that i could fix the brick without internet connection?
@@letuge2955 Best to ask on the Homebrew Discord server since I'm not that informed with Wii modding. discord.gg/nintendohomebrew
@@Xemns Thanks!!!
i need your help bro i when on agressive mode and now i cant access the vwii anymore please help me anyone
Take out any discs and make sure that you are updating after wiping the Wii Menu.
The link does not send to vWii decaffeinator v2
Fixed
I have error code 105-3029
i followed most of the steps up until the vWii nand installer because it says " did you forget to run cfw" cam you help me with that?
Which installer on the vWii?
@@Xemns the vwii decaffinator
@@Celthethroatgoat Make sure the CFW is enabled before using it.
@@Xemns how do i do that?
@@Celthethroatgoat Install Tiramisu. Here is the guide: wiiu.hacks.guide/#/
Duuude!! you saved my life thank you!!
Nice! Glad I could help
@@Xemns Hey man for sum reason when I play new super mario bros.wii the music stops and when I finish the level the game freezes, can you tell me what is going on?
@@migueltatem6099 Not sure it could be a bad disk or backup
@@Xemns Okay, thanks for the video anyway you are a life saver 🙌
also i bricked my wiiu vwii by installing riiconnect24 and wii link 24 :/ this could have happend if i used the wii files instead of the wiiu
You need to use the proper virtual Wii guide in the patcher or you might brick by installing a broken iOS.
@@Xemns ahh
Warning: Think twice about the Agressive Mode. It Bricked my Wii U beyond reparable. Got the 160-0101 Error Code. Even fix with UDPIH doesnt work. Just tellin you in hope no one repeats my mistake. Whish u all the best
Never ever have I recommended aggressive mode. And I also mentioned making a nand backup before doing it. Always use light mode unless your vWii is badly bricked.
@@Xemns Ive never said anything else. Just posted that for the people out there, being as stupid as i am.
I have a Backup. But what now?
@@yann1ci restore it with the nand restorer in the description. If it was not bricked then it should work.
Yes at the time i did the back up, it was not bricked. The Restorer is only for the vWii. My whole Wii U is bricked@@Xemns
@@yann1ci how did this brick your wii u side?
THANKSS!! Now muy vwii is unbricked new suscriber You are a Life saver!😊😊😊
Glad I could help. Thanks for the support!
I CAN'T UPDATE HELP ME PLEASE
Try taking the disc out of your Wii U
1 more thing clear ninja on my alt is that when you launch mocha you have default off off on off off
@@Xemns you do need CFW i tried loading the software and it said get a CFW
Good to know
if you dont have tiramisu installed do you still have to install it and do the steps you do or no?
You don't need tiramisu to do this. All you need is access to the homebrew channel.
@@Xemns also what CFW do i need and will the internet browser homebrew work?
@@clearninaje24 None, you can use the basic browser exploit.
@@Xemns oh so i can just go to the internet browser and dont need mocha CFW
@@clearninaje24 Yup
Now vWii gives me black screen :(
Did you try this guide?
Can you factory reset the Wii U to reset the vWii?
Formatting will reset both from the system settings. However if you use a forwarder such as the news channel forwarder you can go through the vWii settings and format just the vWii.
@@Xemns I see, thanks for the info! I wanted to get rid of everything on the Wii U anyway and that worked perfectly for me.
OMG, Thanks you so much, I haved this issue and your video helped me to fix it! Thank You SO MUCH!!! ❤❤
Yay!
thx, I installed a 4.3 system menu wad that wasn't for the VWii because I have brain damage and I thought I couldn't get it back
Glad you could figure it out.
@@Xemns nevermind it stopped again

Tysm for bricking my wiiu bro good job
EDIT: my wii u doesn't work with wii games anymore for some reason if i put a wii game in it bricks my wii u
Take out the disc and then update your Wii U
Does this work on aroma?
Pretty sure it does
Does this works on version 5.5.5?
Yes, it does from what I've seen/heard.
how the hell do I run cow on Mac
Which app are you trying to run? Maybe try parallel desktop or winebottler.
@@Xemns winebottler just keeps giving me errors and I can’t pay for parallels
@@Xemns I’m trying to find tutorials tho
I'm still confused on what you are trying to run...
@@Xemns I am trying to run the riiconnect24 patcher on Mac and the virtual Sd card idk what to open it with
Is this a video on how to unbrick your Wii U if not could you make one if you can and want😅
There is no way to unbrick your Wii U really. Especially if you don't have a NAND backup. It requires a hardmod and is out of my league.
This just completely bricked my Wii u
???
@@Xemns just kidding, i need to eject the disc. That is what caused me to get this error 160-0101
@@JTRAIN You scared me hard for a sec
Same thing happened to me lmao I got so worried
@@Sunglasses_Emoji Oof glad you all figured it out :)
when i load up the app it says did you run cfw and isohax werid
Make sure Tiramisu is running before you start the tool.
@@Xemns Ty will try it out
Does this works with a real Wii
For a real wii you should use priiloader and use a NAND backup you may have created in the past. If not, you may need to reinstall IOS files or System titles individually using a self service program such as NUS Downloader. Priiloader guide: wii.guide/priiloader.html
@@Xemns thanks!
you have saved my life
Yay!
none if it worked. I hate myself for bricking my vWii.
What did you do???
👍👍👍
