at 11:34 - you add flux/solder to a joint on the NAND-aid but don't connect it to the board where the trace was cut. Does this need to be connected? I looked at other pictures of this on forums and there isn't a clear picture if this is connected or not.
Yes it needs to be connected with solder. This is clarified in the guide I wrote for installing the NAND-AID. Be sure not to put too much solder as you could bridge the trace you cut. I apologize, I didn't notice this error in the video. Nice find.
You write that you need a backup of the SLC and MLC. My Wii U is completely bricked with a black screen. How do I make this work with my console's condition?
You only need to back them up if you plan on restoring data. If you look at my written guide it explains that without a backup you will have to rebuild the MLC, thus losing all data on the console. Honestly its the preferred method as restoring corrupt data and then repairing it is extremely time consuming. I recommend you start with the recovery menu + UDPIH. You will need to install ISFShax using the recovery menu to repair a console with a NAND-AID. www.tzirf.com/nintendo-consoles-handhelds/wii-u-nand-aid-installation-guide-complete/
@@christiangetchell8218 You can use de_fuse to boot stroopwafel instead of udepih or ifshax. Ifshax need to be installed before it breaks and udepih only work if the mlc still has enough data on it for the system to draw the wii u boot screen. Only complicated thing about de_fuse is that it requires you to solder the raspberry pico on the wii u board but it can be used to revive ANY brick, even blinking blue light!
@@christiangetchell8218 Have you attempted to blindly load ISFSHAX? Sometimes the recovery menu is working but there is no output on some of these consoles to see that. If that doesn't work for you. Then the only way of seeing what is going on with the console is to use Defuse. github.com/shinyquagsire23/wii_u_modchip/tree/main/pico_defuse. Also because I have not personally completed a Defuse project yet I probably cannot answer any questions about it. That being said there is a user named SDIO who is active on GBAtemp.net and knows far more about Defuse than I do.
@@Tzirf i have wii U 32gb deluxe , blank screen , not anything on screen with blue led On,,, i am only need to fix without care any data, can this technique use ?
Yes, please refer to my written guide on my website or this video on my youtube channel. The component is known as a decoupling capacitor th-cam.com/video/6qA9JAMBKeA/w-d-xo.html
Is there any harm in doing some of the prep-work like tinning pads on the NAND-AID before I start working with the Wii U board? I'm very much a soldering newbie so anything I can do to make the process easier is good.
No there is no harm. Just remember depending on which version of the NAND-AID you have, you may have to solder the NAND-AID into the console before soldering the SD Card Slot in place.
You can purchase a NAND-AID on eBay. I keep an updated list of sellers in the written installation guide you can find at this link www.tzirf.com/nintendo-consoles-handhelds/wii-u-nand-aid-installation-guide-complete/
Приветствую, у меня необычная проблема с wii u, приставка jp региона, ситуация заключается в том что основной профиль имеет пароль да я знаю что можно обойти его путем создания нового профиля и далее делай что хочешь с приставкой но проблема в том что я не могу создать новый профиль так как нет свободной памяти )) и расширить память не получится пока я не зайду на рабочий стол только потом после установки той же usb флешки он автоматически отформатирует ее и память расширится. Вот такие дела и не какие recovery menu не помогут перепробовал много что. У вас есть какие нибудь идеи?
Hopefully you can read English as I do not speak Russian. The solution to your problem is to take a flash drive plug it into a different Wii U that you can access the settings and format it. Then take that flash drive and plug it into the Wii U you want to create a new profile on. You will have to restart the console and it should detect the storage and allow you to create a new user.

@Tzirf udpih didn't work for me. It was that bricked. I tried many many times.

Hey man, thanks for the great video! Can i use this method to turn a kiosk unit into stock?
to kiosk you have a many archives on sd card

I should have mentioned, I don't know if this works on Japan region console. I have seen it work on NA version.
or you can use rednand 🗿
