I feel like I've tried everything. I not that far into the guide at all. I've gotten to the point of Browser exploit where I put the sd card into the Wii U and type in Wiiuexploit.xyz. I've got the files on the SD card from the previous step formatted to fat32 with GUIFormat. I skipped the finalising sd card setup because that skips past the browser exploit page.

When I press run exploit on 5.5.X Exploit and hold B, the console just freezes up. I've tried clearing cookies, the browser save data every time, I've tried holding other buttons, tried holding no buttons. No matter how long I wait nothing happens and I reboot the console to do the same thing again. I just got the SD card and it holds files and like I said properly formatted with the right allocation size and I haven't renamed it at all either.

Is this step even necessary? Can I skip it? Does anyone have any advice for me? I've modded my 3DS but this is completely different.

After formatting the SD card, do I put it in the console to let it read it first then follow the guide, or do I just follow the guide and put it in later?

When I did the same for my 3ds, the guide didn't mention putting it in, but a 3ds folder was in the guide which is only there once you put it in the console. This guide doesn't mention it either but there's no other folder to in the Wii U guide to see if it has to be inserted first or not
