That phone HDMI adapter is amazing and I honestly never even thought of that as an option for something like a Wii U, I might have to pick one up
Duuude
where did you buy it from please? thank you.
ok answering my own question, I realised it's not a USB C to HDMI adapter, it's a HDMI CAPTURE CARD to USB C - amazon have lots of them around $20 or so but make sure it supports 4K 60 resolution / refresh rate. Capture/output to the phone is usually only at 1080p though.
@@craigprocter1232 ty for researching that, genuinely appreciated.
@@RemoWilliams1227 no problems, I ordered one from ebay, will let you know if it works and I'm actually correct or not :)
I shared your video on this repair on GBAtemp and here on RUclips.
RIGHT NOW theres and explosion in the Wii u community
Your repair will be sought for without question.
Thank you for making this - everyone else was just talking shit about how to do this and YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE TO SHOW US!
Make more Wii U content, there now 4 new firmwares, and soooo many new apps popping up now that folks aren't worried about big Nintendo.
Thank YOU 😇
Thank you so much that is amazing. I would really like to know more about this or even replacing the memory on a Consol or doing some more advanced, hacking on it if you could point me in the right direction, that would be awesome. Again, thank you for sharing this video.
Oooooh subbed, can't ever have too many repair videos available. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you I am the same way
Finally a video on this error code! I have a Wii U that hadn’t been used since 2017. One day last year, I turned it on for the first time in 5 years and I got an error 160-103. Very frustrating. This happens whenever I launch system settings or almost any application. Games for the most part work except Super Smash Bros. and 3 others where they will crash and get this error code if I play them for a few minutes.
I’m positive that the memory isn’t corrupted since I didn’t do any modding of any kind and literally the system went untouched for years. I’m unable to update it outright and I cannot even sign out of my Nintendo account / Mii or it will get me the error code again. All my save data and DLC are in that Wii U, which still can be accessed when I attempt to play any games, even new ones.
Will trying your method you think allow me to override the system’s settings so I can connect to the internet / update the system / update the time and date and have full access to my console again?
This is very urgent. I need to get to my save data and DLC content to back them up and play my system again for streaming.
You would need to make a nand dump somehow by connecting a flash dumper to the chip directly on the board
@@legoboy-ox2kx that isn't possible. OP said that they never homebrewed their wii u, therefore never made a NAND backup before it bricked. Basically, the console's done for.
After you’ve plugged it in for a little while, take out the CMOS battery and unplug the system for about a week and then try it again. This worked for me. I am thinking it was a fluke, but it is worth a shot.
Great videos! You've helped me troubleshoot these Wii U's!
Glad to hear it!
So I downloaded software to my SD card and Pico chip. I wait for the boot up process I plug in the chip and the console shuts off it won’t go into the black boot screen. Did I do something wrong? Possibly download the wrong software?
Will this work on blinking blue light with no video?
Any clue to fixing one that will boot, and operate all
Up until you select a menu app and it freezes?
Mine has been plugged in and on standby since 2017, and has functioned properly through the occasional power-on, last power-on being as recent as January 2023.
Is it necessary for me to mod my Wii U to avoid losing everything if/when 160-0103 inevitably comes around? And if so, which homebrew apps am I going to need for a restore process?
Well, if at least the internet browser remains working, you shouldn't need to mod it. It is possible to just open the homebrew channel from there.
I'd mod it though, it unlocks a lot of homebrew and will be especially important now that the eshop is closing.
I’m not sure, but the other poster had some great advice
Thank you! This was an awesome and detailed guide and following it resolved the error for me!
That is great
Thanks glad this work - hopefully it won’t happen to everyone but great to have a known solution.
Thanks
I’m only seeing the error on the Health and Safety channel. I have a modded Wii U. What do I do?
Okay, so how do you fix one game that's downloaded onto the console, but won't play due to memory issues and you can't delete it either for the same reason and you can't reformat the console because you'll lose the ability to play the other games you downloaded onto external storage?
Omg you saved my life hopefully it works in my case either way you got my sub
Thanks
hello, I have a Wii u with error 160-0103, it occurs when I turn on the console, I have already performed the recovery menu 0.4 steps but it did not work, do you have any solution?
Sorry it sounds like your EMMC is bad. Currently there isn't a fix for this. This video on is a repair if you modified your OS, and bricked it
Sorry, but that only fixes messed up CFW installs. Particularly Haxchi coldboot related issues.
The typical corruption issue is caused by a bug in the eMMC firmware that can be triggered by corrupted files (IE failed auto saves) and essentially fill it with junk until it deadlocks.
Only way to repair this is flashing a backup made before the chip corrupted on a fresh eMMC and replace the bad one. If no such backup exists, the console is done for. Only affects early models and can be avoided by using HDDs for saves and installs instead on the internal memory, though.
Same goes for consoles that have been sitting for so long that the eMMC discharged and lost the files.
In other words: if you don't wanna lose your Wii U, turn it on at least once every couple of years and make a NAND backup.
I find it funny that the eMMC rate of discharge is the same as the expected market life of the WiiU. That the rate of failure from disuse or from regular use, depending on the components, is equal to its expected market life. Part of me looks at this, had I feel like there was a bit of planned obsolescence here, using known to be defective or low-quality parts. Not to keep costs down but to intentionally create a situation where forcing an upgrade would happen.
@@ninja011 A lot of devices from that time have this issue, particulary smartphones and tablets. And not just the cheap crap either. It's a capacitor plague type of situation, only way less talked about since most affected devices are simply obsolete now.
Besides, they did change components in later models, including the eMMC. But since the specs didn't change, it wasn't deemed a revision.
Consoles from mid-2015 onwards should be fine, maybe earlier. Mario Maker bundles and later are considered safe.
@@notmyrealname1526 I see, good to note. Do we have a model range to know which is which for the non-MK bundle units?
@@ninja011 Not really. As I said, officially the Wii U didn't have any revisions, just different suppliers.
I believe GaryOderNichts wrote a NAND checker that gives you infos on the eMMC health and hardware a while ago, but I haven't tried it yet. Otherwise all you can do is open the console and check what's on the board.
@@notmyrealname1526 my mario maker bundled wii u died from the nand failure as well. nothing more than an anecdote but yeah, I wouldn't bet 100 percent on it.
mine Says it has a disc drive error but the only thing i can think of it being damaged is that i had spilled some pop makeint a game ccase sticky and then without remembering i placed a disc on top of the case and then when i tried to put the disc in the wiiu it worrked but got permantly stuck on the loading screen it was splatoon one so the loading screen was moveing just never finished
I have a wii u like this, it has parental lock and gets this exact same error when I try to access it. From the user screen I try to add new user and trying every password possible I still 3/4 to go trying to brute force the password. I can't do the parental lock workaround via online, nor can I try a system update because it's locked out of internet access. Any ideas how to fix both? Ideally using your method looks like exactly what I need. Where do you recommend I start? I have to buy a Pico and inject the software?
Yes the Pico/injection should fix that. Your next step to purchase a Pico. I am still working on a few broken consoles, but want to do a full video on how to load the pico. Hope this helps
Looking forward to it when you have time to put a video together
I ended up getting pico and removed the parental controls. I was able to set up a connection and update to the latest firmware. everything looks good so far! thank you both!
Hey so I'm having a no display issue. I try to get into the recovery menu, with no luck. I've tried to re cache the USA nand information but I don't think it's working. Does the disc drive try to eject when you press the eject button in the recovery menu?
No eject is to move down in the menu. If you are not getting display try component/composite out
@@niesz Yupp I know the eject button moves down the menu, just trying to confirm if I was in the menu or not. So when your in the recovery menu, the disc drive doesn't make any noise when you try to move down the menu, by pressing the eject button? Also I've tried composite out with no luck. Pretty sure nand is dead
Is there a way you can do it without a raspberry pi? Like could you some how do it from like a laptop?
i've ordered a pico which will arrive tomorrow however my issue is different.
literally everything else on the wii u works fine, except anything related to system settings.
the system settings app crashes upon boot, and the parental controls app loads in a little bit and then crashes display 160-0103
i hope this would work but if not should i just get a replacement unit online for £30. everything else works fine. i cannot find any good information on when it only shows up in system settings
Did that fix it?
Hey there, I just purchased a second hand Wii U and went to clear the old users data. I then tried to perform a system update and it froze at 89%. After waiting a bit I impatiently turned it off and back on again. I was then hit with a 162-4065 error code. After turning it on and only getting a black screen I was able to hold down the power button to do a soft reset that got me back to the Wii U set-up screen. I went through the options to set up my nintendo account and tried updating again. It was unable to update and I was then hit with the 160-0103 error code and now that is all I get when trying to turn on the console. Do you know if this method will help fix this issue?
Did you softmod it?
@@niesz I did not
@@its.glitchen sorry this fix won't fix that error
@@its.glitchen is there a disk in the console eject it and try again if not maybe hold start or X while launching the wii u as it may be hacked and be able to launch a environment instead such as tiramisu
@@Sunglasses_Emoji There is no disk in the console and it is not hacked/modded to my knowledge. When I went to download the new update, it seemed like the console froze so I turned it off and back on again which seems to have corrupted the OS.
bless you, you saved mii from insanity I thought my Legend of Zelda: botw saves were gone!, thank you I liked and subed
Awesome thanks
@@niesz hey, it's been 2 months, thank you you really saved my wii u since then i really thought I F***** up, but i saw your video when looking for fixes, I followed your tutorial and it worked!, I purchased a "Pico" and did the whole thing like you did!, I really apreaciate you! also i am trying to 100% BOTY i am at 13.36% currently
Does this method work on a Wii U that got this error "naturally"? I've never hacked/modded my system, however I started receiving this error today, and can't get past the wii u splash screen when it tries to boot.
No, unless you’ve modded it and gotten a backup of the NAND and eMMC I believe the console is dead. Later down the line it is possible that there may be a method to restore the software, but as of now there is none. I’d keep the console around for you never know when a fix* may come!
Thank you glubdalub
Good afternoon, I have the 160-0103 Bougfht the Pico and all went fine. But once I reset to the USA and rebooted the system, I still get the same error. Could I be doing somethign wrong? I used the repair to the handheld in the menu and it worked fine. But I can't get read of the error. Please help if you can.
If that doesn't fix it the NAND is corrupt and there isn't a good way to replace/fix it yet
Hello, in my case I installed the system to its factory specifications and I get error 160-0103, I don't know if this method will let me use the console again
Do you have a Nand backup for the wii u?
You may need to restore your Nand flash
Hello, 6-8 years ago I used miiverse on my Wii u for the first time and it froze. I tried to switch it on and off but was still frozen. Once it ran out of battery, the console wouldn't connect to the gamepad (which was working) or the tv. Would this tutorial work for me?
I believe this is for a Wii U that became bricked due to firmware update after installing hacked firmware or power off during update.
@@whiskeykong940 it was not updating nor was I installing hacked firmware
That is what I believe as well. I am new to working on these, and got another with the same error message, and I was unable to fix it.
If it bricked and you didn't do it, then it is the internal EMMC, or NAND that is corrupt and is encrypted. Currently I don't know of anything that can fix this. Sorry
@@niesz thanks anyways for your help, il try this out
Im having issues with a model with the hynix chip getting a 103 error. Ran through the process twice. Suggestions?
Was it a modified Wii u?
How are you able to use your cell phone as a controller? I assume there's a specific cable and software? Care to share? Thank you.
The cell phone is only the HDMI output. Not a controller
@@niesz I figured that later after I posted. Thanks.
Can i not use the PAL firmware ?
My Wii U gets no error message but gets stuck on boot screen on the main console. It was in it's box for a few years but always in perfect condition. Out of nowhere it won't work. Any suggestions? I sent to a shop and nothing.
Did you have a softmod on it?
Mine is the same but it's not soft modded. Will the Pico work?
@@niesz
Do I have to reset it?
What app are you using so you can use your phone as an HDMI input?
USB camera pro
I think that is it
Which one should I get, the Raspberry Pico or the Raspberry Pico W
Either should work just fine, but the regular raspberry pie Pico is cheaper
As the other comment or pointed out, that should work
I have the 160-2215 error this method can fix the wii u ?
I have never seen that error message. When does it come up, at startup?
can this recovery menu run on a normal usb?
Yes
Hello, I’m unable to log into mine. Like I’m unable to make an offline mii without error 601 0103 and can’t log into my existing profiles offline. I know the system says it needs an update. Is this tutorial a fix for that?
For clarification:
If I make a new mii it crashes
If I log into my exist accounts it says sign in failed and takes me back to the menu regardless of whether or not I’m trying to log in offline.
No sorry I have another Wii U with the problem you are describing and it didn't fix it. I am currently researching how to do a hardmod on it, and see if it can be fixed
@@nieszgotcha. It is weird the console itself works aside from not being able to log in. I appreciate the response!
@@zacharyullom4614 have you got it hacked as you can use a nand restorer and fix it via a fake update
@@Sunglasses_Emoji I have not tried that but will look into it. Thanks for the reply!
What is that hdmi adapter outputing video to your phone and where do I get one?
I think it's a capture card. You can get it online. Most are USB-A but may work with an USB-C adapter.
Also, the software used was depstech, as he answered in other comment.
Thank you
MY WIII U CAN BE SAVED THANK YOU FOR THIS HOLY SHIT
Your welcome
Hi. I have the 160-0103 error on my WiiU and I did just exactly what you have done many times but it didn´t work. Any idea what could be happening? Thanks
You could have corrupted memory unfortunately nothing can be done about that specifically unless you made a backup before in that case
@@trooniggerslayer I don't have a backup. So It's officially dead. Thanks for your time my friend.
@Skankhunt42 Sorry if it's very advanced
@Skankhunt42 Kafluke's HardMod CBHC Unbrick guide
@Skankhunt42 Nice gl! If you have a backup for sure this could fix it, soldering is hard however and if you just started and wanna be careful try asking someone who's good at soldering/proffessional is my recommendation! Gl
I bricked my Wii U by trying to install CBHC using a pirated DS game from Wii U helper, will this tutorial fix it?
Same
yeah it should, but in the future you should seriously follow tutorials. They all expicitly say to NOT use a pirated ds game lol
This question was already answered by another commentor
My Wii U stopped working too, it doesn't show any error code though. Like I can boot it and get to the menu, but when I try starting a game or an app (even the system settings) it just loads forever. Any idea how to fix that?
Same
How do you know to do these steps?
I make them up as I go :)
This worked!! Thank you so much ❤❤
Glad it helped!
The problem I have is when I load 4 games in my library I get this error messages, the other games seem to be fine as are the games I downloaded from E shop to the internal memory. So arg...I dunno if this is gonna fix it or not...
That sounds like your internal memory is dying. I would be looking for a new consul at this point.
@@niesz I managed to solve the problem. I uninstalled the games and reinstalled them and they were fine. I have no intention of buying a new Wii U. Only when the OS gets currupted then I'd say it's game over, I intend to mod my Wii U in due course anyways so it's not like I care about playing it in an official capacity anymore. I just need the OS and GUI to work.
Wot version of pico boot am I looking for

Great video! My wii U failed during an update (the latest one 5.5.6), before everything went worng, it showed a message saying the update failed and it needed to restart, since then, it does not show anything on screen, it doesn't connect to the gamepad, when you try to turn it on, the red light goes blue, and stays constant blue, do you think this method would fix this issue? (It's unmodded)
Sorry This will not fix it. You have corrupt or failed flash
@@niesz Thank You, I was searching for help everywhere since it happenned. Do you think there's a way to fix it?
@@MrKrabseyes I've heard of the exact same scenario sometime else online just do a quick search on the Internet it will be unbricked
If it failed on update on 5.5.6 then you probably modded your wii u and didnt turn off the mod for it causing it to just fail
I don't know what my comment was referring to earlier but I know you can definitely use udpih and rebuild the system menu. Even if it's not modded
Only for modified Wii U?
Usually. But it can also take off the parental locks.
This works with a modded switch as well in case you do not have a pico.
Thank you. I don't have a switch at the min, but good point
Hi i just bought a pico and i have added all the necessary files both on the pico and on my 32 gb sd card, when i boot the console and insert the pico, the console always turns itself off after like 3 second. I've tried over and over again, before the drive spin, after the drive spin, and both before and after "wii u" pops up one the screen. All i need is to access this recovery menu but i can't. Any tips? :/
Update: I was able to get in to the menu but the fix did not work for me appearantly, can someone please explain why? I'm so dissapointed rn :(
Having the same issue as yourself with the console turning itself off after a few seconds, did you have to reinstall the files or is it case of just kept trying?
@@redvenom2300 Just keep trying, it worked for me, i also use micro SD - SD card adapter and after i tried another one it worked.
If it turns off it isn’t setup right on the memory card

i have this too
I tried and was about to access the menu but after resetting the Coldboot title it still won't pass the WiiU logo. At a loss now...
@@EyeotPhoenix I've started considering sending it in for repair or just selling it for parts. Bummed about it cause I wanted to see my stuff one last time, but I'm running outta options here. If I find anything i'll tell you, hopefully you'll do the same, but for now I got bupkis...
I have a Wii U and it works perfectly 👌
I'm still using it and I love it 😊❤
But now the problem is do I have to homebrew our console to keep it from bricking? 😨😱
It's a good time to buy a backup since you can still buy a used Wii U (console only) for really cheap.
Yes! Using homebrew is totally a need if you got a Wii or a Wii U (or a PSP or a PS vita or any other game console.)
I agree with The Bad Elf by a backup just in case

I tried turning on my Wii U for the first time in over 5 years last week to the surprise of it not working. Unfortunately, I am not getting any error code so I am blind as to what the issue is with my Wii U. I am going to attempt to use this method to try and fix it to see if it works again. I'll post an update after I attempt to fix it.
UPDATE: Unfortunately this method did not work. The recovery menu would not boot up at all. I even tried recovery_menu_dc_init and it still did not work. I am at a loss for words. I have no idea why my Wii U suddenly stopped working as it was perfectly fine before and I took good care of it. There is no reason for it to have bricked at all. It doesn't help either that I don't get an error code so I don't know what the issue is. If anyone has any other suggestions for things I should try, throw them my way.
If you are not getting any error code, try replacing the clock battery 2032 and see if you get results.
@@hatchxable I’ve tried that already and it didn’t do anything either.
I know this comes off sounding like complete BS BUT Nintendo is offering complete repairs til the year 2024 for any customers with a bricked firmware. Nintendo is shipping legit Brand New consoles after you sent it to them. They won't back up your data. Its also Free. They did this to their other consoles in the past with even the SNES console ending support it wayyyy after its end in 2003. I've seen it on gbatemp and two videos posted this year. Give it a shot if you have the time to call or mail. Good luck all
@@retrobros9684 How do I go about doing this? I can't seem to find anything about Wii U repairs on Nintendo's website.
@@dylanmeyer4840 So to make a case with big N, you have to sign into their Nintendo site. At the bottom are repair links. If the issues is solely the error code they'll honor a fix, they'll try and ask for money for shipping both ways.

Did you get the error because of Cbhc (coldboot haxchi)? If yes I also did and I feel so stupid however my mom ordered me the raspberry pi Pico so I can restore my wii u and I might also have installed cbhc so I could delete some files from my wii u's NAND with my pc using WinSCP and FTPiiU_everywhere because I used NUSspli to download games for free but I accidentally downloaded the install files to NAND and it's completely filling my storage my wii u is the same model 32 GB of memory capacity but I'll format it to factory settings does your method fix a wii u that has been bricked because of CBHC?

I just got the master sword in Twilight princess HD ✋😔
P.S:i saw the CBHC app there and I realized the wii u probably came with this error because of Cbhc and the previous owner sold it so someone could probably fix it and keep it for themselves because I also installed CBHC In my wii u and I got that same error and since you fixed it your method could probably work with my case right?

Ty, i just used my wiiu 10 times in 7 years and after playing one mario game, it gave me the error code when i tried to change game discs. Im fking pissed off!! Its dead af and i babied this console as a collector
4:49 to me, I feel like it might have coldboot thing installed so factory reset might be bad
I’m still new to this what would you recommend doing then?
@niesz ah just noticed
It does indeed have CFW installed
Don't uninstall the title that has the warning sign or it might brick it
Ah, I see that's why it didn't boot
I think it needs a payload to boot or something?
But oh well I guess you fixed it by changing the boot to the wii u thing
Whats the software you used as a capture card?
Depstech. It is for android. You can find it on the app store
Please help, my wii u has this error code only when trying to make a new mii or play a wii u disc game. Original wii games work just fine. Is it still safe to mod this thing?
Its most likely not safe for modding as its already corrupt and you need a nand backup to fix it at all
The other poster is correct I would be looking for a new consult at that point
The repair video itself is fine, I definitely want to try this RPi Pico debrick option myself, but the music during the waiting periods is horrendous. Not only is it rap, but it's so annoyingly loud compared go the regular talking.
Yeah man, _horrible_ choice in music.. I had to skip through that nonsense, unfortunately.
Sorry, I am new to RUclips and still learning a lot. I need to get a video editor because I am not a good one.
You had cbhc on there, the brick is related to cbhc
Hello robed repairs I have a error code idk if ur familiar with it whenever I booted up smash bros or any other game like yoshis wooly world it goes to a error

I recently brought batman arkham origins twice off Mercari and I'm getting error codes for that game for some reason
I tried this fix with mine, no dice. Really sucks.
I wish I had the same luck some other commenter had about calling Nintendo and getting a replacement. I tried calling their support about the issue and their response was basically, "The only info I have is what you found on our website. There's nothing we can do as far as repairs go."

Does this work on ios?
I don’t think so. iOS is iPhone right?
This is all well and good but why the dreadful music?
I only get access to royalty free music. Unless I find someone who make free music that I can put in my videos it is all i have

I love how nearly every single Wii U brick is due to CBHC. People not reading the instructions right. The app is literally named "DO NOT TOUCH".
Im not much into the modding if the CBHC is modding but would you mind explaining to me what that is?
I have not tried the CBHC mod. But not everyone is very technical
@@SadielHrz Cold Boot HaxChi was the old way of softmodding the Wii U. It use to be the only way to permanently mod the Wii U (the browser hack would reset when you rebooted). The problem with CBHC is that you needed a game from the app store. If you deleted or moved the game you would brick your Wii U. Thankfully CBHC is obsolete because of Tiramisu. With Tiramisu there's no real danger of bricking.
if i had deleted my browser history youtube never wold have reccomended this wii u error code fix! Should consider going into tags and typing everything under the sun to get it RECCOMENDED if you havent already...
Thanks for the advice. I have no idea how to make this happen. But I will try.
@Robed Repairs I flashed a bad version of coldboot which is 99% intact, should I try this or isn't it even worth a thought? sorry to bother and thx for any help, edit it doesn't even fucking boot 🎉 just for info
I would give it a shot just to see what it does. They consuls are pretty cheap right now.

Thanks
To bad we cant just ...copy the app on an USB and then plug it in at the start.
I know I wish that was possible to. Or just run the operating system from USB.
Anyone else getting worried watching this video? I am the sucker who bought 100+$ worth of Virtual Console GBA and NDS games recently.
Nice. I hope you fix them all
Wiiu is best
Yes
Wow, I thought wii u's with this error were a dud. I guess not.
This is only if they had a failed softmod. If they got this without a softmod they are dead... Until someone comes up with a way to replace the bios, or other software on a wii u to bypass it.
Gary is a Guy from Germany … bis name means Gary or nothing!

Just ordered a raspberri pi, if this works :D
Cool

The Wii U failed in it's time in the limelight however, now it's an emulation beast.
Well
1. Bricking a wii u is an accidental mistake that can happen to anyone
2. People still play on a wii u because the either can't afford a Nintendo switch or either they are confortable with the wii u
3. I don't know
4. I say the same
@@niesz You are truly wise.
It's only a last gen console.
