Alright well, I've been unable to nagigate priiloader for the past few days due to accidentally syncing all my wii remotes to another wii. But I got a gamecube controller and got them synced back

So I used ohneschwanzenegger to create a clean 4.1 install for my Wii. Upon plugging it in, my Wii complained AGAIN that the dump was for the wrong Wii. So I loaded the unmodified dump that I'd just taken 5 minutes ago into bootmii and it said that one was for the wrong Wii too. So I konami'd, restored the clean dump, and it gave me a full brick. Still had Bootmii boot2 though, so I went in and restored the unmodified backup I'd just taken. This actually worked so I figured what the hell, and restored the original dump from before I went full brick. I'm back in black, though accessing settings is still something like a 50/50 proposition. Sometimes it crashes, sometimes it doesn't.

But while i was hunting for dodgy tiles in AnyTileDeleter, I noticed that it lists my Wii region as E. This is not an E Wii. I checked again after I did the final restore, still E. Why would it be saying that? Surely I would be locked out of settings completely if I actually had a region-based semibrick.

tl;dr the Wii works again, but is still sort of semibricked and bootmii complains that every dump I use is from another Wii, even though they restore fine. And anytiledeleter says my region is E. How confusing
