Wii U Jailbreak Method to Run Game Backups via Modding Tickets

Similar to the PS4 Brazilian Game Sharing Method (not to be confused with the PlayStation 4 Russian Jailbreak Method) and following the recent Wii-U ROP / OTP Hacks, today BurningDesire documented the Brazilian Team's Wii U Jailbreak Method to install and run game backups by modifying Nintendo eShop Tickets using internal memory or USB loading!

Here is his compilation, to quote: Wii U USB loading - Install WiiU Games to USB or Internal Memory

Important Info

• If you want to install on HDD, you need to format your HDD to WiiU format. Attention it will DELETE everything on that drive. DO NOT USE THE DRIVE YOU USE FOR vWII!
• In order to get your HDD to be recognized you may need to use a split USB cable
• The downloaded games need to be the region of your Wii U.
• The games will be playable online!
• You can install only ONE game at a time. You can of course have many installed games at the same time on your HDD or WiiU, but the installation process is done one by one!
• Purchased DLC and updates work fine
• You can transfer games installed to you Hard drive to your internal storage and it will run fine
• You can install games to internal storage without installing to USB
• If you have an existing savegame for your game on your internal storage, move it to you USB before installing the game to USB or you'll lose it!
• To install your Loadiine save into the console, use Saviine homebrew. Guide available here

Instructions

• Get the game from NUS, do not decrypt. Be sure it's the same region than your console!
• Put the game files (.app, .h3, etc.) on your SD card, in SD:/Install/ folder
• Get the ticket for your game (extracted from a WUD file). Be sure it's the same region than your console!

Note: you don't need ALL the rar files to extract the full 25GB wud. Only the first .rar or .r01 file is enough to extract an incomplete wud and get the ticket.

• Edit the ticket (title.tik located in folder sys/02/)
• Either with an hexEditor: Ticket's byte 0x01 set to 0x01, subtract or add 2 to the value of byte 0x0F. Example here.

Or with a tool:

• Wii U Ticket Modifier (Wii U Ticket Modifier by AboodXD)
• Wii U Ticket Modifier with GUI (Tik_Modifier: Wii U Ticket Modifier with GUI by Tesa)

• Put the modified title.tik in the SD:/Install/ folder too.
• Put SD card into Wii U
• Plug in your WiiU Hard drive to your Wii U (if you want to install to USB)
• Eject any inserted game disc
• Launch the homebrew launcher
• Launch the modified wup installer (WUPInstaller-AnyTitle-master.zip) (Attention it has whitelist removed, you can brick your WiiU if you try to install System titles or game from another region!)
• Press X button to install to HDD, or press A to install to internal memory.
• Let the game install. You will see an incorrect % progress (such as 300% or more depending on the game) don't worry and let it finish.
• When the install ends you will be rebooted back into the homebrew launcher, exit it and your games will be installed!
• Delete ALL the files located on your SD:/install/ folder. You can now install another game.

Following the Hacking Nintendo Wii U via WiiuBru Go Jailbreak Without PC Guide, today dimok made available Mocha CFW - The sweet chocolate to your latte!

To quote: Mocha CFW is a custom firmware that is derived from iosuhax. It offers all the features of iosuhax and some addional features without the requirement of a fw.img on the SD card.

Furthermore it combines all the current features of a custom firmware such as sysNAND or redNAND with signature patches into one application with a configuration setting.

Mocha CFW hooks itself into the IOS launch process, right before it jumps into the bootrom, and patches the (at this point) decrypted IOS ELF in memory with new functions.

Releases

• https://github.com/dimok789/mocha/releases/tag/v0.1
• https://github.com/dimok789/sdio_nand_manager/releases/tag/v1.2

Sources

• https://github.com/dimok789/mocha
• https://github.com/dimok789/sdio_nand_manager

Credits

The application is developed by me but there are several parts contributed by many developers across the Wii U scene. So credits go to everyone who contributed to Wii U scene publicly.

Special thanks to smealum, plutoo, yellows8, naehrwert and derrek for sharing some details on the IOS exploit and making such a great base with iosuhax.

Also from WulfyStylez comes DRXTool - Gamepad+DRH firmware hacking utility which will eventually allow changing things like the boot menu and controller region:
