CBHC, short for ColdBoot HaxChi, is a project that implements coldboothax as explained by smealum using a DS VC game for its exploit.

Note: Only install this if you have already installed Haxchi, which gives you simple channel access to other homebrew programs without the need of the browser exploit anymore. Installing CBHC on the other hand is far, far more risky but will allow coldboot into patched menu/homebrew. For a less risky coldboot, it is recommended upgrading to Tiramisu instead.

Features

The system menu with full signature and region patching, supporting ftpiiu-everywhere. CBHC includes its sysnand CFW.
Can to boot the .elf version of the homebrew launcher.
Can boot fw.img or Mocha CFW on your SD card (useful for rednand and developers). For most users, the system menu setting with CBHC CFW is sufficient, as using Mocha or fw.img for sysnand may lead to bootup problems.
The vWii system menu or the vWii homebrew channel. Holding down B on boot automatically boots into the vWii system menu.

Installation

User guide

Installing CBHC executes the chosen DS VC game directly on system boot, providing a coldboot exploit. After installation, consider the following features and precautions:

Set up DNS server protection to block potential future system updates.
Disable standby mode for extra safety.
Avoid deleting or installing over the DS VC used for installation.
Never perform a system format while CBHC is installed and autobooting to prevent bricking.
Retain the user profile used to buy the DS VC to maintain proper licensing.
Dispel the myth: moving CBHC's icon in the menu or placing it in a folder is safe; it's only a visual change in the system menu.

Autoboot:

This is one of the available options form the boot menu. When autoboot is enabled, you can use the Home button to access the menu during the boot process.
The menu controls are simple: use up/down to move the cursor and A to select or change the autoboot option. Control it using the gamepad, any Wiimote, classic controller, Wii U pro controller, or the "sync" button on the console itself.
Cancel autoboot by pressing the Home/Sync button when the "Autobooting..." message is displayed.

Compatibility

Requires Wii U Firmware 5.5.1, 5.5.2, or 5.5.3.

Installing just Haxchi is perfectly safe and will give you simple channel access to other homebrew programs without the need of the browser exploit anymore.
