Hacking Unbrick Your Wii (Banner Brick)

[RjT]

With 3.3 you will need to make an autobooting Zelda Disc and just swap the HBC installer dol with wad manager on your SD card, and then remove the offending channel u installed that caused the banner brick.

just a quick question does this work with a banner brick with 3.3 firmware or only the 3.4?

It should work as long as you can get the pink fish disc to boot then I don't see why it wouldn't.
People with 3.3 and under I think have other options then can try before this but if those options fail then this is your last hope.



what are my other options i have a 3.3 bannerbreak with a wiikey v1 chip the hbc installed

I used my Gamecube controller to navigate the menu.

I used the DriveKey as well and it worked fine for me so it should for you as well.

I did not test this on a 4.0 Wii but it should work the same as it did on 3.4

Make a video when you try this

 

[chuycrc]

NOTE: 4.0 will need IOS16-64-v257 installed. 4.0 comes with IOS16-64-v512 and is patched not to allow Pink-Fish-Disc ( Nintendo's Offical Wii BackUp Disk v1.31 ) to work. Remove IOS16-64-v512 with AnyTitleDeleter and install IOS16-64-v257. This should be done before a brick


how did i now I have IOS16-64-v512 ...if I have de v4.0 of waninkoko I have IOS16-64-v512?....
if I install the drive key And enter to da recovey mode Did I can use any title del?

Going to try it out right now, for I have a 4.0U banner bricked Wii. Updated through Wankio
Question: Will any modchip work? I mean, mine reads discs flawless, so I guess there's no problem?
I can get the little firmware number to appear, using my Wavebird.

I accidentally deleted all my IOSs from the wii and now (of course) it won't start...do you think this method would work to bring it back to life?

u can help me?
here my Wii was with brick, i used the disk (wii backup disc) and i deleted everything as VI in tutorial, and now when i don't really care is direct black screen? What to do? If i try to install the devs disk from an error - 2011. You could help me?

Hey,

I think my Wii is banner bricked. It goes to the 'Health and Safety' Warning Screen and gets stuck on there. I'm thinking about buying the DriveKey modchip and then fixing it that way.

Do you think that it's banner bricked and if so, will this method work?

Can I use the Pink fish disk (USA region) for PAL(E) Wii?

 

[Hkari]

Can you autoboot a disc if it's getting system file corrupt errors? If you could, couldn't you load up the Twilight Hack, and uninstall the .wad?

Not everyone will beable to autoboot a disk like that so for those who can't it's Pink Fish to the rescue!

You want to burn it to a DVD not a CD

I Banner Bricked my Wii its Firmware was either 3.2 3.3 or 3.4 I had twilight hack done and homebrew channel installed but none of the safety programs that would of saved me from bricking my system. I have bought a Drivekey and was told in my posting that I made on the forums here that itd work but I just wanted to be sure and ask here too. Will it work for me 100% If I follow the Guide exactly as it is written??
