Homebrew I broke my wii software plz help

[tkhn23]

I think I made a big mistake a month ago with my wii
It had been moded for months then I got into installing wads I went to <site> and they had a wad that was wii menu 1.0 dev and I installed it and now when I turn on my wii it has a black screen and my wiimote pairs but nothing shows up.

Ps my wii is a original white wii with the latest version of the wii menu
Wii Menu (USA) (v1.0) (Dev).wad this was the killer of my wii

Edit here is the website
<Please do not link to piracy sites>

Wow, that game is becoming very popular lately.
How many folks have installed that wad this month only? 3... 5?

I'm curious to know what Wii Menu 1.0 Dev is about.
But seems like a puzzle game. Maybe a beat em up?

Anyway:
Do you have BootMii and Priiloader installed?
If yes, continue.
Do you have a backup of your NAND before you installed that game?
If yes, continue.
Restore your NAND with BootMii. Problem solved.

If your answer is no to ANY of those questions, then there's nothing you can do other than reinstalling the entire Wii Menu.

Weird!!

But yeah, exactly what he said. If you can get into BootMii you'll be able to restore your NAND (assuming you have a backup).

Keep us posted!

No I never backed up my boot nand when I went in to boot mii my wiimote disconnected

Are you at the very least able to access the Homebrew Channel via Priiloader/BootMii?

EDIT: I missed the part where it said you were in BootMii. The Wii Remote doesn't work with it, you use POWER to navigate and RESET to select for future reference.

You installed system menu version 1.0 (DEV) if you had priiloader before its gone now.

Quit deleting the site its for research purposes

What is priiloader

It's a semi system menu that loads before the actual Wii OS giving you access to recovery options in case the user installs games like Wii Menu Dev 1.0.

Again, if you don't have BootMii, Priiloader or NAND backup, forget it.

No

There must be a better way I don't care if all of it is gone I can replay all my games I can remod it
If there's a hard drive inside I'll rewrite it

Usually the better way is common sense.

Again, and I can't repeat this enough times:
NAND backup + Priiloader + BootMii

If you missed any of those, then forget it.

(Unless I'm wrong since my knowledge stopped at around 2010)

 

[tkhn23]

I just miss my wii

 

[boot3]

Just for clarity, do you have BootMii installed as boot2 or IOS?

 

[linuxares]

You need a programmer and a nand backup for that.

No you're quite right.

I'm curious if some odd youtube have spoken about the Dev version of the Wii since so many of late have installed it like... why?

It's free!

Pretty interesting if you ask me. There was an RC version of 1.0 that was uncovered from one of the Nintendo gigaleaks.

Another user that kills her/his Wii console and blames an app... Will they ever learn?

But anyway, unless you've had taken some safety measures prior of not using your common sense, you now have a bricked Wii.

Try following the instructions provided by many users on this thread and search for the same cases on GBATemp by other users in the same situation, hope you recover your non deserved Wii.

There is a way with donor nand from a working Wii. But not sure if Invictus even can be hold of anymore

And even then, with the prices that some of these websites are selling them for, it's cheaper and easier to just pick up a replacement console.
