A simple recovery menu running on the IOSU for unbricking, which can be booted using [[UDPIH_Wii_U|udpih]]. == Installation == Some consoles may lack TV output due to improper configuration, if that's the case download and rename the recovery_menu_dc_init file to recovery_menu. This build, while displaying controller initialization, outputs only in 480p and has no GamePad support. [https://github.com/GaryOderNichts/udpih How to setup udpih and recovery menu.] == User guide == ===Power LED patterns=== The following patterns are used (for debugging): * Purple-off blinking - Kernel code running. * Purple-orange blinking - Menu thread running. * Purple - Menu is ready and running. ===Menu Options=== * '''Set Coldboot Title:''' ** Allows changing the current title the console boots to. Useful for unbricking CBHC bricks. ** Options: Wii U Menu (JPN/USA/EUR), System Config Tool, DEVMENU (pre-2.09), Kiosk Menu. * '''Dump Syslogs:''' ** Copies system logs to logs folder on SD Card. * '''Dump OTP + SEEPROM:''' ** Dumps OTP and SEEPROM to otp.bin and seeprom.bin on SD Card. * '''Start wupserver:''' ** Allows PC connection via [[wupclient Wii U|wupclient]]. * '''Load Network Configuration:''' ** Loads network configuration from network.cfg on the SD Card root, and temporarily applies it to use wupserver. * '''Pair Gamepad:''' ** Displays Gamepad Pin for pairing (♠ = 0, ♥ = 1, ♦ = 2, ♣ = 3). ** Bypasses region checks during pairing. * '''Install WUP:''' ** Installs signed WUP from install folder on SD Card. * '''Edit Parental Controls:''' ** Displays/Disables Parental Controls pin configuration. * '''Debug System Region:''' ** Fixes bricks caused by invalid productArea/gameRegion. * '''System Information:''' ** Displays system details: serial number, manufacturing date, regions, etc. * '''Submit System Data:''' ** Optional submission of system info for statistics. ** [https://wiiu.gerbilsoft.com/ The database can be found here.] * '''Load BOOT1 payload:''' **Loads a payload from the root of the SD Card named boot1.img and executes it from within boot1. If the file is named boot1now.img it gets loaded automatically when starting the recovery_menu after a 5 second timeout. == Screenshots == https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/wiiuhomebrews/recoverymenuwiiu.png == Media == '''The Truth About the Bricked Wii U | Can You Fix yours For $8?!''' ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14n5r1rRB9s Voultar]) <br> <youtube>14n5r1rRB9s</youtube> == Changelog == '''v0.6 2023/08/19''' * Added a new "Load BOOT1 payload" option. ** Loads a payload from the root of the SD Card named boot1.img and executes it from within boot1. ** If the file is named boot1now.img it gets loaded automatically when starting the recovery_menu after a 5 second timeout. ** This allows booting minute_minute. * Improved the "Install WUP" option. ** Installing a WUP now needs to be confirmed. ** Progress is shown while installing. * The recovery_menu now shows button and error feedback over the LED (Thanks @V10lator). * Moved "Load Network Configuration" above "Start wupserver", to allow loading a network configuration and starting wupserver without navigating over the entire menu again. '''v0.5 2023/04/02''' * New "Submit System Data" function to allow submitting consoles to the [https://wiiu.gerbilsoft.com/ Wii U System Database] directly from the recovery_menu (Thanks [https://github.com/GerbilSoft @GerbilSoft]). * The "System Information" screen now also shows the BSP revision (Thanks [https://github.com/GerbilSoft @GerbilSoft]) * The recovery_menu no longer prints a large ODM log into the logfiles due to shutting down the disc drive. '''v0.4 2022/09/12''' * Fixes setting system settings for the "Debug System Region" option on retail systems. '''v0.3 2022/09/03''' * Improved visuals, including a better readable font (Thanks [https://github.com/GerbilSoft @GerbilSoft]). * Support for setting the coldboot title to debug titles, if running in debug mode (Thanks [https://github.com/GerbilSoft @GerbilSoft]). * Added a new "System Information" menu (Thanks [https://github.com/GerbilSoft @GerbilSoft]). * Added a new "Debug System Region" menu, allowing you to verify the system region and directly fixing region bricks (Thanks [https://github.com/GerbilSoft @GerbilSoft]). * The disc drive is now powered off while in the menu. * The power led is used for displaying debug patterns before the menu is loaded. * The "Display DRC Pin" option was replaced with a "Pair Gamepad" option, allowing you to directly pair a gamepad while in the menu. * The "System Information" menu displays information about the MLC including the manufacturer. '''v0.2 2022/07/26''' * Added "Edit Parental Controls" options * Support Windows (CRLF) line endings in network.cfg * Added experimental display controller initialization build ** Some Wii U's don't show any TV output, if it hasn't been configured properly before. ** If that's the case download the <code>recovery_menu_dc_init</code> file and rename it to <code>recovery_menu</code>. ** This build does display controller initialization and might fix the issue. ** Note that this build only outputs 480p and has no GamePad output!
