CBHC Unbrick Guide without soldering

Requirements

• A FAT32 formatted SD Card
• One of the devices listed below
  Note: Any other linux device capable of USB device emulation should work as well.
  Prebuilt releases are only available for the Pico and Zero.
  I will add more devices below which are confirmed to work.

Supported devices:

• A Raspberry Pi Pico or Zero
• A Nintendo Switch capable of running udpih_nxpayload

If you don't have a supported Pi or Switch, I recommend buying a Raspberry Pi Pico. They're the easiest to use and only cost around 5 bucks.

Setting up UDPIH

Head over to the UDPIH post and follow the Intructions for your device until you're booted into the Recovery Menu.

Changing the coldboot title

Once on this screen make sure the cursor is on "Set Coldboot Title", and press the POWER button on the console itself (not the controller or GamePad)


Press the EJECT button on the console until the Wii U menu entry corresponding to your console region is highlighted.
If you don't know your console region, check the second letter of your serial number on the bottom of the console:

• "A" (Australia) (Australian consoles are running EUR firmware)
• "E" (Europe)
• "J" (Japan)
• "W" (North America)

Then press the POWER button.
If everything worked out you should see the following screen:


Now press EJECT and you should be back on the main menu. Navigate to Shutdown using the EJECT button and press POWER.
Your console should power off.

Now remove the Pi from the console, and power it back on. Your console should boot back into the Wii U menu.

And yeah that's it!

If this helped you to unbrick your console, feel free to support me on ko-fi!
