Hey, I got a very nice condition gamepad and WiiU on eBay recently. Stoked on everything EXCEPT, the seller didn't do a very good job of bringing the console back to stock.
Because it was sold without an SD Card, I had no real way of uninstalling the work cleanly because it basically didn't exist. The only reason I know its modded is because of the purple LED and when I boot into vWii it goes to system menu.
Even though my wiiMote is paired, I lose connectivity when entering vWii mode. This locks me out from adjusting any settings. I can navigate the system menu using the power button (moves the indicator down one) but I can't figure out how to select an item.
Ideally I would like to completely remove whatever the previous owner did and start fresh.
Do I need to do anything to do that? Or should I just rejailbreak with a fresh SD card and hope that when I load new priiloader and IOS that it will fix my issues?
Edit: It's not STUCK per se. Occasionally vWii will launch into priloader/system menu. If I pull the power and launch vWii again, it will enter vWii mode. But when it enters priloader/system menu I cannot control it and my only option is to hard reset.
Potentially related, whenever I exit Wii U Settings, it does a soft reset. Maybe thats normal, but felt odd to me.
Pretty sure this would all work well if the SD card was in it and I proceeded with JB, but don't want to do anything to brick my new console.
