What did you screw up your Wii with?Hi I have a bricked Wii it's really important because it's the only Wii that can install boot2 I want a tutorial for fixing it anyone help?
Wii dev modeWhat did you screw up your Wii with?
Seriously? Just throw away a device that is out of production for >10 years and don't think twice!Jokes aside they're so cheap it's not worth losing your mind over fixing one
Downgrade possibilities for gaining another color shell.Maybe get the black or red one if you had the white one just for the novelty factor *****
dude are you for real, this console sold 100 frickin millions unitsSeriously? Just throw away a device that is out of production for >10 years and don't think twice!
Then there is this part of the title:
"without losing its data"
Downgrade possibilities for gaining another color shell.

So sad people keep recommending replacement as the first (and only) step. True is that many software bricked Wii consoles can't be revived by an average user. No harm trying available methods though.
Yes I'm serious!dude are you for real, this console sold 100 frickin millions units
What an aggressiveness!No one tells people to break their devices in stupid ways and then expect easy solutions to their mistakes.
Okay. I try my best to deal with it:Deal with it.
I hope you realize that replacing the NAND chip is possible right now. This is just a standard chip. The soldering work on the other side needs skill. How should this change with an imaginary new fantastic chip?If you want an alternative solution, wait another 10 years for an universal nand chip replacement , easy to desolder, flashable and compatible with all existing wiis ,bricked or not.
Unfortunately, unless you knew this and prepared for some weird reason (and I don't think anyone has made a practical EEPROM editing/backup/restore homebrew), boot1 has an anti-downgrade check that compares the header version with the one in EEPROM - and sdboot is version 0 (and as we know, boot1 is hash checked and boot2 is signed)To my – incomplete(!) – knowledge files from the big leak, SD boot, can be used to revive any software bricked Wii (trashed software on NAND) with a hardware flasher.
Still hoping for a modified boot1 to become viable .Unfortunately, unless you knew this and prepared for some weird reason (and I don't think anyone has made a practical EEPROM editing/backup/restore homebrew), boot1 has an anti-downgrade check that compares the header version with the one in EEPROM - and sdboot is version 0 (and as we know, boot1 is hash checked and boot2 is signed)
If you have the OTP you can use Ohneschwanzenegger (Who? Came? Up? With? That? NAME!? I cringe every time writing it down) to create an empty (like stock) NAND image.I don't remember if there is a way to dump the physical NAND on WII and offline editing, could be a way to repair this brick?

So using a Programmer is a solution to unbrick the console keeping all data?If you have a programmer, sure, you can backup the nand that way (you'll want an updated backup anyway for the bad sector list, remember this is unmanaged/"MTD" flash)
You can always backup the nand with a programmer (...unless the chip is broken, but it seems this case is "only" a wii menu with no/stub IOS case)So using a Programmer is a solution to unbrick the console keeping all data?
yea... dude... or gal, or whatever, idc, the point is it makes no sense to treat a Wii like a super duper rare holy grail from 700 years ago, I can guarantee you that throwing away a single one will make exactly zero difference in the world, or even its future resell value. If it was a Wii U that would be a lot different for a number of reasons.Yes I'm serious!
Too many people share your opinion and some series of the Wii started failing. "There are so many of them!" is a pretty stupid thing to say. Each one thrown away for no reason is one less. Should be obvious… dude
