pffft are y'all really that foolish, you should be able to get a clean copy easily since we have the vWii key and someone made a tool to get titles from NUS so you can just get a copy now, you should be able to just install the titles from iosu since doing a system update works for vWii titles too, I remember a bunch of old threads about how vWii bricks broke system updates too

Oh? Who's that someone if i can ask?

Well, at least the Wii U menu is fine and works like a charm.

Just the vWii is screwed.

I dumped the NAND.

I'm just thinking about moving on and going to Wii U Homebrew (I been doing the Wii U Homebrew )

I'm gonna just wait for a NAND restore.


Thanks for helping everyone in the thread.

this is what i would do
use NUS to get a fresh system menu base app
since you cant load hbc use wuphax but have it load mymenuify elf
install the app

1: compile Dimok's iosuhax with the CFW option (make cfw), load it to get access to the vWii partition.
2: Use FT2SD, FSDumper, FTPiiU to dump the bricked vWii files to SD card/your computer.
3: Extract your previous working vWii backup.
4: Compare both in Beyond Compare.
5: Find which file was edited/replaced by the theme. Likely it is just 1 .app file.
6: CAUTION: Use FTPiiU Everywhere to restore the broken file in slccmpt01 with a working copy from your working backup.

Make sure you are only replacing the file on the vWii partition. Do not touch anything else. FTPiiU is dangerous if used incorrectly because it lets any FTP client write and delete files in your NAND.

Well, i extracted my semi-bricked vWii NAND, and i think the theme put on EVERYTHING.
Welp, should i just replace the files that are red or no?

Also, just put the working slccmpt01 on the root of my sd card?

Well you see... We just don't really know, yet. I'd recommend you to wait for more, instead.

Nah, just gonna let this thread die.


My Wii U now is slowly dying of oxygen and i'm getting a new one soon.

Not because of hax or anything, just because it's on it's last life now.

So, gonna just stop commenting on this thread now, don't want to see any notifications on it now.

At least i'm getting a new Wii U very soon.

My Wii U with the Semi-bricked vWii, is not looking great.

So, i'm done with this thread.

Instead of going impatient, why don't you just wait? someone and maybe myself are trying to see if indeed we could fix your brick with my theory from the other day :/

Nah, like i said, not gonna do the fix anyway, getting a new wii u since my other one is pretty broken at this point (you should see on how messed up it is) had my other wii u for years, 'bout time i get a new one anyways.


And i knew it was gonna start dying.

So, it's fine dude.

Just not gonna comment on this thread anymore. Maybe i'll check the thread if i ever do.

My other Wii U is dusty and pretty broken on the inside after i hit it by accident.
(luckily, it did work up till this point)

So, it's all good now.

I'll stick around to the Wii U scene.

Lol, this thread is funny.
This is fixable. Your channel panel has been patched with wii stuff. It will not work as this is a virtual os. The nice thing with vwii is we have access beyond it so dumping and installing can be done without hardware. In wii days you needed a dumped nand to flash back to the wii via hardware. If the OP wants my help they will need to upload the good dump of their nand, the bad vwii nand dump, and some keys. Then we'll talk about installing it back.

Navigate inside the folders, try to find the app the theme edited.

Edit: The anwswer was on the forum all the time. https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-vwii-theme-injector-inject-themes-into-vwii-system-menu.452046/
The vWii system menu app can be found on your Wii U in this folder:
/slccmpt01/title/00000001/00000002/content/

On NTSC consoles, you're looking for 0000001f.app
On PAL consoles, you're looking for 00000022.app

It looks like the Github was deleted and I'm not sure how to go about getting it back, was literally called "NUSD-vWii"

darn it, why did they remove that. cause seriously that application would be helpful. So I can some what more safely tinker with vwii wiiu, but I'm not taking my chances, yet. Bricks aren't my thing.

I wonder if the OP fixed her vWii. Now we know that fixing it doesn't even require a NAND backup. You just have to obtain the original Wii System Menu app and overwrite the modified one using WUPclient or FTPiiU Everywhere. In other news the DarkWii Red theme is working awesome on my box. Make a copy of your Wii System Menu app for an easy fix should something be incompatible and start trying themes! Apparently all the DarkWii themes by Wii Theme Team should work.
