Hello guys,
I just modded my first Nintendo Wii. I installed the homebrew channel together with the usb gx loader (that I like very much btw). Now I want to install a WAD manager to install the forwarder that will place the loader directly on the home screen. Only thing is, I tried to backup my NAND with BootMii, but verification fails at the end, so I don't know if I could un-brick my console in the case things would go bad, and I don't want to risk a brick just not to push a button more. Also, it fails because something is wrong on the old hardware: I get like 4 bad blocks (should be normal) + 4 uncorrectable pages (not so normal), don't know if this means I should be more cautious than normal, but either way...
My question is,
Can a WAD manager installation brick your console? Does it write directly to the flash? (As I understand, those should be the dangerous operations)
I suppose the USB GX loader forwarder is safe to install too, right?
Also, if you have any advice on how to backup my NAND and overcame the verification failure, it would be much appreciated.
Note: Sorry if I'm making dumb statement. As I said this is my first mod attempt.
