Priiloader won't boot from SD card

[z0mmb]

Hi!
I changed the theme with MyMenuifyMod, everything was great..
But then I tried to change the menu music with it as well, and now I can't get past the first "health and safety" screen, there is no A button either, im stuck in there.
I tried different Priiloader versions, holding the RESET button (different ways), but nothing happens. Boots only that "health and safety" screen..

if holding reset when booting doesn't load priiloader, then it isn't installed (unless the reset button is broken). How exactly did you try different priiloader versions? That isn't possible if you can't get passed the health and safety screen...

If you have bootmii installed as boot2 u should be able to access it if you boot up the wii with an sd inserted that has a properly set up bootmii folder saved to it: http://static.hackmii.com/bootmii_sd_files.zip

If you don't have bootmii boot2 or priiloader, then you really messed up, and the only thing left to try is savemiifrii \ bluebomb to get back into a homebrew environment. Or using a nand programmer like an infectus to restore a nand.bin backup (if you have one)

I don't know about boot2..
Different versions of Priiloader - i mean- copying Priiloader content to SD card for boot.
also bootmii files, but no one boot of them.
but thank You anyway!

What you're copying to sd is the priiloader INSTALLER. This needs to be launched on your wii and told to install priiloader to your Wii's internal nand/memory before it is accessible. It would be nice if all bricked wii's could be recovered by just copying files to SD without any preparations done in advance, but sadly that's not how it works.

If u copied bootmii files to sd and started it up and bootmii did not load, it means u do not have bootmii installed to boot2.

At this point, Google up savemiifrii and see if you can access the recovery menu (using a GC controller, which you may need to partly disassemble) and from there u may be able to autoboot a disc, then use an exploit like bluebomb (requires Linux and Bluetooth). If u can access a homebrew environment, u can recover. Otherwise your wii is toast.

Next time follow a proper softmodding guide/method like ModMii or wii.guide to ensure you have adequate protection in place before messing around. Sorry, I wish I had better news to deliver.

Thank You for answer! now i get it about that Priiloader!
Can you recommend a tutorial / link about autoboot disc and bluebomb?

Savemiifrii step is done? Screen showing your current version appeared?

Not yet. I am looking for where to bought GC controller..

Controller must be genuine as I remember. Also I hope your Wii have GC ports for it.
As for bluebomb "guide" I think you can use information from this one: https://wii.guide/bluebomb
tho it's mostly the same as at github page: https://github.com/Fullmetal5/bluebomb
Here the most interesting thing will be what will be your boot.elf

I have GC ports.. (model RVL-001(Eur))
But know i'm thinking more about Bluebomb, if there is no need for GC controller?!
I Just need (i think ) to get fixed (reinstall) theme file (or cIOS slot).
If Bluebomb option can get access to a homebrew channel then I could also repair the damaged file?! am I right?

For preloader or priiloader you'll need any wired gamecube controller in port 1 (doesn't have to be a genuine one, but wireless might fail you).
For bluebomb: don't connect your wiimote untill it booted your software and you need it.
Use a wiimote without the motion plus.

I'm actually not sure if bluebomb would work from the health and safety screen that u are able to access... Probably not, but worth researching

i did all as shown in the Bluebomb's tutorial with Linux ubunt . The first step succeeds with the " sync button" on the console, but then it gets stuck in "awaiting response from stage0", and nothing happens
