Wii U update 5.1.0 error 162-3006 Please Help. ;_; 50 tbt reward.

[Danielkang2]

I tried contacting nintendo, but they had little info on the error code. They told me they need to repair it. But 100s of people are experiencing the same error. So I don't want to take the hassle of repairing it. The error code happens when it reaches 80-100 percent. Do any of you have the same error? Please help.

Try starting the update through the "start game" menu instead of the settings. It should prompt you to update before playing any software.

I tried EVERYTHING. resetting router, update through download management through settings and through start game menu. It always fails when it gets to about 99 percent.

Oh. That was what I had to do. Sorry to hear that

Nintendo thinks it's a hardware problem... I don't think so.

I'm so stressed. I really don't want to send it for repair.

If you've tried the majority of solutions out there, then you might have to really consider sending it in. It sucks no lie, but it's better than trying untested solutions or having a bricked console.

 

[Danielkang2]

That is true. But there's 100s of people that have the same problem and trying to find a solution. And Nintendo REALLY needs to patch this.

I'm considering sending it to nintendo if nobody comes up with a solution in a month. I have 2 months left in warranty.

The only way they could fix this is by allowing people to download the update software to a USB and update via that. Sounds like an issue I have with PS3, for some reason at 99% it corrupts or takes forever over wireless, but if I download and install via USB it updates.

I got a question, I used to download updates just fine. If they make a new update let's say 5.1.1 and i try to update that. Will the update work?

Maybe? It could very well just do the same thing and I wouldn't bother waiting around for Nintendo to push an update.

 

[Danielkang2]

Ok, I know what you mean...

50 tbt seems pretty low for saving your wii u from oblivion

 

[Danielkang2]

Well... People could just help me. Also I have warranty on my wii u. I don't want to send it in for repair. >_<

 

[LambdaDelta]

if you have a warranty on it, why wouldn't you send it in? that's exactly what they're for

 

[Danielkang2]

I live on the island of guam which is besides japan so to send it to American Nintendo it'll take about 40 days to come back to me. It's SUCH a hassle.

 

[CR33P]

then don't complain and leave your wii u the way it is.
useless.

 

[Danielkang2]

Well it's not a YOU HAVE TO DO IT IN ORDER TO PLAY GAMES kind of update.

I just wanna see if anyone can come up with a solution. If not I'll send it to Nintendo.
