Wii U 5.5 Kernel exploit has been leaked
The Wii U Kernel exploit for 5.5 that has been left right and center of discussions on the Wii U scene recently, was just leaked a couple of hours ago on GBATemp. This exploit lets you run Loadiine (Wii U backup launcher), Cafiine, and a bunch of other cool tools. The exploit is compatible with (at least) firmwares 5.5.0 and 5.5.1
Developer @NWPlayer1234, one of the people behind the exploit (along with Marionumber1) has confirmed the leak is the real thing. It’s a full fledged exploit and people have already been confirming they can run Loadiine and other tools with it.
The leak happens a few days after NWPlayer1234 “suggested” someone leaked the exploit. It turns out one of the exploit’s handful of beta testers who had access to the file probably took the suggestion a bit too seriously.
Download and use
You can download the Wii U 5.5 Kernel exploit here.
Instructions are sparse, but here’s what we could gather from NWPlayer1234:
1) reverse folder names
2) delete that dumb WithLove.png
3) install java 8+
4) java -jar HaxServer.jar
And, last but not least, NWPlayer1234 posted video instructions on how to access the file from your console and run the exploit, then how to run loadiine from there:

To summarize:
- Reverse folder names from the download
- Install Java 8 or above
- Make sure port 80 is not in use (e.g. make sure to quit Skype if you have it on your computer!)
- Run hackserver.jar, and make sure it runs correctly
- in a Dos command line (“cmd”), type “ipconfig” to get your computer’s ip address
- on your Wii: enter your IP address followed by /hax?kexploit31, for example http://192.168.0.1/hax?kexploit31
- Click on done and load the page to run the Wii U 5.5 kernel exploit
To run a tool such as Loadiine:
- Get the latest Loadiine nightly from the repository
- Copy the content on your SD Card in wiiU/apps/loadiine.gx2
- Backups on your SDCard need to be prepared as explained on the Loadiine Readme
- Run the kexploit10 binary (http://youripaddress/hax?kexploit10)
- Run loadiine
Please report success/failure!
NWPlayer1234 is releasing “how to” videos as I type this so check out the developer’s twitter account below for more details.

I cannot get loadliine to load no matter what I do, I have got both the hexploit 30 and 10 exploits to run no problem, however when I launch loadiine I get an error saying “could not load file /wiiu/apps/loadiine_gx2/loadiine_gx2.elf ” I have placed the elf exactly there so it should run no problem, ive downloaded the latest version of loadiine and had no luck, inside the wiiu/apps/loadiine_gx2 folder is just the loadiine_gx2.elf file, I have tried including the www folder and even putting all the www files in the same directory as the elf…no luck.
any help here? im so lost and this is starting to *** me off
So ive been at this for 3 hours and so far can get both the 30 and 10 exploits to load perfectly…but nothing else, loadiine when loaded with kexploit 10 says “cannot load file wiiu/apps/loadiine.gx2/loadiine_gx2.elf” and when loaded with the kexploit 30, I get slightly further but get “race attack failed” every single time and it launched wiiu settings.
doing the same with homebrew launcher, with either exploit I just get “cannot load file” by the web browser, im so bloody lost here and all tutorials seem to skip over 5.5.0 like it doesn’t exist
If you’re having issues :
Don’t self host :
Goto http://www.loadiine.ovh
Scroll Down : Copy both Loadiine, and Homebrew launcher downloads to SD Card
Visit loadiine.ovh in the wiiu browser. Click submit button. You’re done
omfg thank you! that fixed it! I dont know why I couldn’t self host but who cares!! thank you!!
Every time I try to do step 1 my Wii U freezes. Using 5.3.2. I have both Loadiine and HomeBrew Channel installed in the SD:/wiiu/apps/ folders.
When I try on my 5.5.0 Wii U I can load Loadiine but when I launch a game I get an error saying there is something wrong with my system memory with error 160-2201.
I can load Virtual console games on my 5.5.0 Wii U no problem. I just can’t load Wii U games.
does anybody know how to fix error 160-2246 from coming up when loading a game in loadline?
I wish devs would have enough interest to release native emulators on Wii U
I currently cannot get my Internet working and cannot use Loadiine/Homebrew Launcher even after doing the Illuminati hax exploit with “kexploit10,31”
Can anyone give me any tips, I’m still getting Internet Issues when trying, I am using the latest version of homebrew launcher 1.4 and have tried “loadiine.ovh” but website won’t work
I’ve also tried changing DNS settings also, only the IOSU illuminati H4X works atm
