[Bug]: Wii U Error Code 102-2402

What happened?

No matter what I do, I always get "Error Code 102-2402" after logging in/creating new account on my Wii U. After that I can't even remove account from my console, as any interaction with account ends up with this error.

At some point everything worked, then I changed the region from JPN (was 5.5.3J) to PAL (became 5.5.5E) and even login stopped working after that. I checked issue #10 and rebuilded MLC with SLC and login/registration started working! But any interaction after that gives "Error Code 102-2402"

I tried:

• deleting apps using vwii decaffeinator and updating them setting
• adding Nimble
• nigtly builds
• factory resetting console
• SSSL version
• SSSL version on vanilla dashboard (without Aroma running)

But nothing helped

What did you expect to happen?

I expected for it to work🥲

Ok, so after some research on the Discord server, I fixed the problem

You can get this error in two cases:

1. You have a missmatch between the actual console serial number and the one written in sys_prod.xml
2. You got banned on Pretendo Network for cheating (permanent ban, the only way to fix this is to get a new console)

To fix the first case, here's a quote from AirCookiee from discord:

assuming you're using a fully HB'd console, with the latest version of aroma installed:

1. Flip your console and note down your serial ID, it's the number that appears on the white sticker at the top
2. Install ftpiiu manually or through the HB store
3. Press L+Down+Select(-), go to ftpiiu and set "Allow access to system files" to true
4. On your computer, get any FTP client you want and connect to the IP/port shown in the ftpiiu screen
5. Navigate to /storage_slc/sys/config/ and download sys_prod.xml
6. Open the downloaded sys_prod.xml and ensure that the codes in the code_id and serial_id fields matches what's written on the bottom of your console, if they don't, you found your problem; replace them with the correct serial and save the file
7. Upload the fixed sys_prod.xml to /storage_slc/sys/config/, overwriting the previous file when asked to
   7.1 (optional) Download the file again and check that it matches your changes, if not, go to step 6
8. Disconnect from FTP, set "Allow access to system files" to false and reboot your wiiu; Pretendo should start working once you log in to your account

In my case, the sticker on the console had wrong serial and the actual serial number of my console was on a warranty paper in retail box.
