All done. But im pretty sure I did solder that point the first time around tho... I have deleted all the LOGS, erased MLC, and SCFM.img thingy. I am redoing the MLC process again to see if this changes anything. When the system is all done i will dump the logs again and see if anything changes

edit: oh btw, idk if its normal. But the light on my Wii U is always purple. It only turns blue during the installation phase where it blinks blue. Other than that my light is purple during initial setup of the Wii u too. Just wanted to mention that.

Good luck!

You can see in the video that you do put some solder on the pad, but it never looks connected to the R26 trace. So I just figured it doesn't need to be connected

Yes a mistake was made in the video. I corrected this using a pined comment on the video as someone else pointed it out previously. I will add it to the description of the video so that hopefully others see the mistake and don't get confused.

I have soldered the point on the NAND-AID to the r26 trace. I erased MLC and the scfm.img and installed the MLC from ground up. I processed through the inital setup like normal. But like the other times, I got stuck in a infinite loading after pressing "next" after being prompted to create a Mii... I Shutdown the console after a while and dumped the logs. I will include the .zip of the logs on this post. Hopefully there's something there giving away the problem.

Purple LED is normal. You have ISFShax installed. If you remove it the LED will go back to its factory setting of blue.

Logs are identical. So either they are the same log or nothing has changed.

Have you validated the SD Card is working by putting it into a computer?
This is a European Wii, you downloaded the European SLC/MLC Titles correct?

Since it still shows 32GB, I am suspicious that its not detecting the MicroSD Card you installed into the NAND-AID.

I did connect the NAND aid sd to my pc to see what it would say. And it says that the PC cannot read the SD before i format it. The first time i put it in the system i did format it to LargeFat32.

Yes, i followed your instructions on the video about downloading the files to my specific Wii U system (EU). I did the same with SLC titles.

Could it be the legs on the MicroSD reader are badly soldered? In the video you mention that EVERY LEG SHOULD MAKE THE MULTIMETER BEEP ()When touching the top of the card reader). is this true? Atleast thats how I understood it.

Based on your pictures I don't think the legs are the issue. When you insert the SD Card into the NAND-AID is it sticky feeling or does it go in smooth? Often times what happens is flux gets inside and prevents a good connection.

I usually dont add too much Flux so hopefully that shouldn't be the case. The SD-card goes in without issues and goes out. Its snappy and clicks with the locking mechanism.

The Wii U uses a proprietary file system. When you erase the MLC within the minute menu it should setup the SD Card & format it. Since it is a 64GB you don't need a plugin to use it in the Wii U. You can verify if this is working by formatting it on your PC to NTFS, make sure it shows the full 64GB size. Then install it in the Wii U and erase the MLC. When you place it back in your computer it will say it cannot read it. This tells us the Wii U is writing to your SD Card in the NAND-AID.

If this is true, then I don't think there is anything wrong with your NAND-AID. The issue must lie elsewhere. Try re-downloading the MLC/SLC Title files and placing them back on your setup SD Card. Perhaps there is corruption in one of the title files causing the console to hang at the Mii creation screen.   

I will try that then. Can i skip the SLC files? Since i can just update the wii u with internet right?

Grab both and include them.

I took a look at some other log files and there seems to be an issue with the Wireless. You did mention lag to the gamepad.

Did you unplug any of the 3 wireless modules from the console when you installed the NAND-AID?

My mistake, I overlooked an error. It would seem the Bluetooth Module is defective. Log file contains following error
00:00:11:319: BT: [Err] OHCI initialization failed - rv=0xfffffff6

Yes I did actually. I unplugged the two that has wires running along the black plastic cover. It was in the way so i removed both of the module. They should be correctly installed but what do i know. Is that a huge problem?

Yes console will freeze during boot if the Bluetooth Module is defective or missing. I would suggest making sure its fully seated in the socket and if it is and your still getting the same error then try using a known good one. 

Bluetooth module is the one at front of console with no wires. Easy to accidentally knock out of socket while working on the board.

I don't have more Wii U parts to test with sadly .. I will double check it again and see.

I did the full MLC and SLC titles install again and I get stuck on the same Mii maker screen. So my last hope here i guess is the modules if one of them are loose.
