Where did you get your copy of IOS30? Might it have been a stub? Also, why did you want to downgrade to 3.0?

4.3 can also run burned discs through NeoGamma, though most people use USB loaders now because they're far superior. What version of IOS30 did you install?

If you installed version 2816, then you installed a stub (essentially a useless placeholder). Without bootmii, Priiloader, nor a NAND backup, there is no way for you to fix this.

In some other thread not too long ago, somebody used a tool to dump a bad nand and write IOS versions to it. After writing them, he was able to flash the fixed nand back. It's the first post here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/miraculous-ways-youve-unbricked-a-gaming-system-or-other-device.428379 If he can't even turn on his console and doesn't have any way to boot though, I guess it's dead.

You should have installed the HBC boot or Priiloader in your wii before downgrading it, then you could have fixed this error easily, i don't know what you should do now. Try searching that thread Boogieboo6 was talking about.

After looking around a bit, it seems your Wii is unable to be fixed. Are you sure you don't have BootMii or Priiloader though? Turn on your Wii and hold reset for 10 seconds. That'll get Priiloader to work, if you installed it and didn't know it. Here's a post from a thread back in 2009.

"If you turn on your Wii WITHOUT an SD card in it, does it flash once, and then flash a couple more times really fast like a second later? If so, bootmii should be properly installed to boot2. If not, you did not install it to boot2.

If it is installed to boot2, make sure your sd card has the bootmii folder still named "bootmii" on the root of the sd card and has 3 files in it. Also check the bootmii.ini file in textpad or something and make sure it isn't set to say:

AUTOBOOT=SYSMENU
BOOTDELAY=0

otherwise it will skip the menu entirely. (If those two lines have a # sign before it, that's ok and it shouldn't autoboot anything.) By default it should say something like:

#AUTOBOOT=SYSMENU
#BOOTDELAY=5

which is fine.

If everything is set up like that and bootmii still does not boot on startup, then try backing up your stuff on your sd card to your pc and then using the sd formatter tool which I believe can be found in the downloads section here to format your sd card and then put only the bootmii folder with those 3 files in it back on the card and try again.

If it STILL doesn't work, your SD card is not compatible with bootmii and you will need a different card that is compatible."
If you somehow access either of these, post again and we'll try to help more.

If I remember correctly, some newer Wii systems cannot be downgraded to anything below 4.0, even if one does everything correctly. There is still no way to recover your Wii that I'm aware of.

If you turn on your Wii, did the Disc slot quickly flash blue?
If yes, then you have BootMii installed and you can rescue your system (with or withour NAND dump)
If you don't, then your Wii is dead and can't be revived unless you invest in a hardware flasher (idk it for sure)

it would be cheaper then to purchase a new Wii and NOT downgrade it again.

Read my post and DinohScene's to check if you have bootmii. If you do, download the bootmii files from this thread: https://gbatemp.net/threads/lost-bootmii-files.161873/
You could also check out ModMii as suggested by DinohScene. Do you get a SINGLE blue flash on start? Or is it rapid? According to what I read, it should be a single blue flash followed by many flashes rapidly.

You should have a Bootmii folder on the root of the SD Card, along with the app which should be on the app file. It should have (Bootmii.ini) on the file (refering to file on the root of the SD Card.)

Idk the exact files but it should be on the root of the SD Card to allow Bootmii to boot correctly.

I got these files within a download. But I forgot the source...
