Homebrew vWii's Wii USB Drive dosn't work anymore

[MarioSonicLife]

Hello, first of all, sorry if this question has been already answered multiple times, it's been a few days that i'm trying to find a solution but to no avail, so i'm asking it here.

Until recently, i've been using my usb drive that i was using with my wii, but i've had enough of pluging and unplugging my drive each time i wanted to play wii games so i installed UStealth.
It worked really well, until one day i plug it in my pc and it said something along the lines of "disk structure corrupted and unreadable", i thought it was hidden so i went into the UStealth app and it wasn't hidden, so i tried multiple things until i just gave up and formatted.
Then recently, i've been redownloading everything that i had and when i tried to plug it into USB Loader GX it froze at initializing USB device, i looked and apparently i needed to format to FAT32 (i was on NTFS and it worked before).
So i did and now it dosn't freeze but when i change the game filter (Wii, GameCube, Channels, etc...) it says "USB Device not initialized. Switching to channel list mode." so i don't know what to do anymore, maybe UStealth broke my USB, but why does it work with windows and weirdly enough, the USB Toggle 2.0 app on the homebrew channel but nothing else.
Sorry for that paragraph, and sorry again if it's a dumb question.

Thank you for reading

This is most likely a brownout issue, so how is your USB drive powered?

This is most likely a brownout issue, so how is your USB drive powered?

it's a simple usb stick, 64gb, powered by itself

 

[V10lator]

So I regret: It's not a power/brownout issue but using NAND as USB drives. Please check your stick with https://3ds.hacks.guide/h2testw-(windows).html

 

[MarioSonicLife]

Here's the output, unless i did something wrong, my drive isn't corrupted, good news

 

[V10lator]

"Warning: Only 15503 of 61119 Mbyte tested" sounds alarming. Anyway, will wait for more skilled people to reply on this.

 

[MarioSonicLife]

i think that it says that because i didn't format my drive, i have 15gb left

 

[V10lator]

You should backup the drive, then repeat the test with the drive beeing empty.

 

[MarioSonicLife]

i'll do that but maybe tomorrow, need to find where to back it up to

 

[MarioSonicLife]

Okay so, i formatted my drive and ran the test again, same result,

I tried a couple more things with the drive, nintendont recognise it and i can play gamecube games just fine, i have another drive with the same problem, gamecube games run fine on nintendont but usbloadergx freezes but because i use that drive for gc only i don't care that much but for my wii drive i have no other option

I can also run a syscheck if that helps

 

[V10lator]

Might be the cluster size. Did you format the card with 32k clusters?
See also this from wiiu.hacks.guide:

Notice Your SD Card will need to be formatted as FAT32. If your SD Card is not formatted to FAT32, use GUIFormat with 32k (32768) allocation unit size to format it.
Do not label the SD Card as wiiu or it will cause issues with homebrew.

 

[MarioSonicLife]

my sd card is FAT32 formatted and i just reformatted it with GUIFormat with 32k cluster size. I have the same error, but i don't think it's an app/SD issue since other usb drives work fine

@MarioSonicLife Post a syscheck here.
What version of usbloadergx are you using? Make sure it's the r1272 mod version.

 

[MarioSonicLife]

Sorry for the late response, had a power outage
Here's the syscheck, i don't know if you need the IOSsyscheck.log but i'll give it anyways

And i'm using USB Loader GX 3.0 r1271, where can i find the good one ?

 

[CoolMe]

Here's the syscheck

Your syscheck looks fine.

And i'm using USB Loader GX 3.0 r1271, where can i find the good one ?

Use this one.

 

[MarioSonicLife]

I remplaced my USB Loader GX with yours and i still have the same problem

 

[CoolMe]

I remplaced my USB Loader GX with yours and i still have the same problem

Does your USB flash drive pass the usb initiation screen or not? Which port is it plugged into?
You could try formatting it as wbfs with WiiBackupmanager, though GC games wouldn't work with it.

 

[MarioSonicLife]

it passes the initiation screen but when i go to filter wii games/channel it says "USB not initialised, switching to channel mode"
i'll try to format it to WBFS and that drive is for Wii only so i don't care if GC dosn't work, i have a separate drive for GC games plugged in my original Wii, though it dosn't work with USB Loader, only Nintendont, same problem

 

[MarioSonicLife]

I tried but Wii Backup Manager won't let me, it says "Error locking device, "5" access is denied"

You tried formatting it as wbfs and errors out? Then something's up with your usb flash drive..
If the error still persists, get a different usb flash drive or better, an external hdd with a y-cable.
