It's been a long time.I tried using my Wii U at about 00:00 last night and I was getting the same error message and problem. Hopefully it will resolve itself but my patience is pretty low when a majority of features are disabled with no choice in the matter. Across two systems as well.
My WiiU firmware is 4.0.1 or something ancient, I tried updating and it had hung on 1% for aaaaages, I ended up turning the machine off. On reboot, it says I need to update and when I choose 'update' it will then freeze when it sends me to the system settings. I think I've borked my machine 
Cancelling the update and then choosing any of the icons, like Browser, eShop etc will also make it hang :/

Did you turn it off while it was downloading the update or while it was installing?
downloading the update iirc.

It's working again for me now.
A long-expected update, great. I still can't help but be saddened at how excited people get over such a tiny addition though... we Nintendo fans really are deprived when it comes to anything regarding interesting new OS features.
Last time anything interesting happened was when the 3DS added those new Miiverse games... and those aren't even free (yes, I bought them
)

Same. My bad mood has subsided (for now).
Hmm...can you still reach the "Download Management" menu? If you can, see if you can delete the ongoing update download, if it's there. Maybe try starting the console without an internet connection.

I am so happy right now.
Reggie really does read GAF?
Many of us have been bitchin' about the lack of folders for over a year now.
The thirst was real.
Thank you based Nintendo.

It took forever, but I am glad to have it all on one page. Now to organize my 3DS...
I think I could, there wasn't anything downloading. Also tried booting up without an internet connection, it would still hang when trying to get into settings etc.
I've put in MK8 which asks for an update and left it on the 'getting update screen' before I left for work, we'll see when I get back if it worked. Thanks for the suggestions.

Yes. Just leave the system alone for a day or two and it should auto download the firmware update as long as standby mode is enabled in the settings.
You can also cancel the first dialog if it prompts you to download the update, and then it downloads in the background.
Yes , my last update installed by standby.
Yep. My Wii U was already updated before I saw this thread. Only thing I had to do was agree to their TOS again and was ready to go.

Hooray there is a fucking change log.
Question. Home menu layout is different for each user. I take it this extends to folders, yes?
So now that we've got folders out of the way can we sort out the data management problems. I just want to way to have all my saves always on the NAND and leave the external drive for updates and games rather than the everything related to a game has to stay in one place and if you want a backup save on the NAND you have to shuffle files around or something that it currently goes (I hear this is how it goes, getting external drive soon).
*-When you make a purchase Wii U checks thing like so: Free space, funds to buy. On the 3DS the order is funds to buy, free space.

You would think they could put an automatic substitution in for the ones that look like numbers. It already automatically changes case...(unless it is not like the 3DS, which is entirely possible*)

Yes, the system will automatically download the update if you leave it alone a couple of days.

Can't you connect both?I thought you could
You'd loathe the Wii (I did too tbh) aside from channels I don't recall a single thing ever changingA long-expected update, great.

The time wasn't on the home screen originally. It was added later.
or the SD card menu (boot games/channels from SD instead of flash memory)
They blocked the Freeloader. :-/
Cool, now I can put all of my Virtual Console games in one place.
It's a bit of a strange flaw that you can not only not access anything internet-related on your Wii U, but also on the 3DS AND the Miiverse web-page because of the new terms and conditions and error codes preventing you from actually agreeing to them.

I agreed to them on Wii U, but thanks for saying the 3DS is the same issue as well. Going to make sure to agree right away since I want Smashy-Smashy at 11 CST.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
So, just switched on my Wii U and all the folders I'd arranged last night have gone... Sigh.....

Yes and that's normal. They leave once you start the updated games the first time.
Same goes to the "download/update completed" message on the gamepad btw
When i switched mine on this morning it was down without me pushing a button.

Yeah i suppose, i have all those icons on the last page, i like to have all the game ones showing on the first screen.

Awesome update. I SHOULD be using folders, but I probably won't. They do look a ton better than 3DS folders though. At least they show up the label, unlike 3DS folders which only show one letter until you hover over them. I have like 5 pages of stuff, so I may end up using them.

Fully agree that this NEEDS to be added.

No... The menu's just arranged like it was pre-folders. I've got to put all the files back in them again....
You're on the same user?
Or guess not. College has a download speed of 8mbps and a upload speed 3.4mbps
How big is the update?
According to Gaf ~410MB

Yep. I've just put it all back into folders now lol.
Oh well, I guess I'll do it then. Thanks.
Thank you very much, I'll get on it as soon as I leave work.
That said, I still think that it would be a good feature - being able to back up save-games manually/seperatly should be a standard feature and not too hard to implement, considering you can already move savegames from disk based games.
