Status Update on RedNand for the Wii U

The guy’s over at WiiUBrU have been working on RedNand and the Nands dumper for quite a while. Just a few days ago we got to see RedNands working on FW5.5.1 but it’s still not ready for a public release and after that, they released the CFW Booter. If you haven’t see RedNands working on FW5.5.1 here is a quick video of it.

Now WiiUBrU wants to let you know the status of RedNands and how you can help with this project, here’s what they had to say.

There’s been “rumors” spreading about our team, and some people even go as far as to call this typical developer arrogance/elitism. It is not that. If you know where to look, and you are willing, you can find us, talk with us, test this stuff out. It’s not ready for end users. Don’t blindly run it. If you’re brave and willing to get your hands a tad dirty come talk to us.

Before I say more, our current RedNand progress does not currently allow installation of unsigned files. It cannot be used install homebrew titles, only signed ones. It is actively still being worked on! So yes, we have redNand. We have NAND dumps. You could too, but don’t take that as a challenge! Come and chat with us. If you don’t want to get your hands dirty, wait for something official either from us or Salt. Again, we have not cracked title installation so right now RedNand isn’t very useful to the non-developer!

Also, the reason we are not releasing a NAND dumper right now is the backup format is pretty glitchy (dumps fail, writes raw bytes to hardcoded values on SD, etc). Again, if you’re willing, stop on by and work on it with us. Otherwise, this shouldn’t be interesting to anyone.

And for the hopefully near future, you will also want a 64GB sd card or bigger if you have a 32GB console. You don’t have to worry when we say soon™ cause all the work is already out there if others want to pick it up. The way it should be. We also have no info on a coldboot hack, but if anyone has any suggestions or ideas, hit us up on forum.wiiubru.com
