@marcan@treehouse.systems @sven @Rairii @foone Say what you will about the Wii's security, but at least BroadOn had figured out that OTP needs to be read-only by that point.

@Jhynjhiruu @marcan @sven @foone virage2 being rw on ique player lol

did anyone actually exploit that successfully?

@Rairii @marcan@treehouse.systems @sven @foone As of a couple of weeks ago, yes! ...though, we managed to brick two more consoles in the process, since the kernel code that normally writes v2 is broken.

@Jhynjhiruu @Rairii @marcan @foone wait, they had a writable storage and pretended it was OTP and stored their first stage bootloader hash, etc there? lol

@sven @Jhynjhiruu @marcan @foone yes. I think broadon thought it actually was OTP, or meant to make it such in hardware and just *forgot* lol

@Rairii @sven @marcan@treehouse.systems @foone The intended factory setup procedure was write dummy image with jtag to get it to boot -> launch kernel -> kernel writes final image and locks out writing, I think. They forgot the last, and most important, step.
