Smash Wii U [Sm4sh Mods] New Wii U Patch 5.5.2 and the browser exploits

[11volt]

The new Wii U update has fixed the Kernel and SDCaffiine exploits which you need to use to load mods.

It now leaves you with the error code 112-2903, and says:
"Could not load video.
Try reloading the page?"

I have a feeling that this may have come about due to the mods' exposure at some tournaments, especially Nairo Saga.
Is this the end of the modding scene? Do you think there is still room for exploits?

Unfortunately by the time i saw this it was too late and my wii u auto updated to the new version. A tweet from someone who seems to involved with loadiine https://twitter.com/gamerzcorp/status/887375272970006529 does make it seem like they are looking for a solution as well as shows many other victims. It sucks but is not something new to the modding community. I hate not having mods for a while and seeing promising content effected like the melee fighting wire frame mod but the modding scene will not die and will fight back to come out stronger in the end or at least i hope so since that is all i really have for now.

The update doesn't patch the kernel exploit. It patched the webkit one. And those are whole different. You still cannot load mod tho, since the browser cannot more run homebrew....

AFAIK You can use homebrew if you installed haxchi on 5.5.1.

Is there a way to install the 1.1.7 update without installing the new firmware?

Yep, I just found that today and got it all working right. Eat that, Nintendo! My mods are still intact.

Not sure if anyone here is interested in updates on this but saw this on gamebanana today that may hint towards a new exploit being found with the crunchyroll app.

I'm sure all the people who didn't change their DNS settings and have 5.5.2 would be very much interested... or at least they should. Being able to change music, in game text and characters and items... you can make it your own game!
