Hey guys. Just talked to nintendo. they said they would fix it for free. I have a question though, how do i COMPLETELY make my wii a virgin? I can't have homebrew obviously. And I need to make sure any custom IOS'S CIOS,MIOS, dumped NAND, ect, is ALL gone. I'm a little scared they will see it... Is there any really REALLY deep tickets or info I should be notified about making sure that's fixed?
That might be a problem,
and generally it's not recommended because if you do something wrong you could brick it.
It's really hard to hide some things from Nintendo.
The programs you use to do that can also cause bricks if you use them wrong.
Basically, you'd have to
- If you EVER had PriiLoader installed you need to uninstall it and there's an evidence eraser app you'd need to run.
- If you had BootMii as Boot2 you'd need to install the latest version over it.
- Use AnyTitle Deleter or the UN-install function on a WAD manager (NOT the memory manager in the System Menu) to delete
* all IOS above 200
* and all channels that you've personally installed from a WAD or a homebrew app (including the HBC ... SAVE THIS FOR LAST)
- (If there's anything you've previously uninstalled with the System Menu you'd need to remove the evidence it leaves behind for those with AnyTitle Deleter.)
Reinstall a clean copy for all your IOS to the latest version including the stubs (with something like DOP-Mii, perhaps.) and this includes the stubs over 200 as well.
Even with all that, I can't be sure Nintendo still wouldn't be able to tell.
again, IF YOU REMOVE ANYTHING YOU SHOULDN'T IT COULD BRICK YOUR WII, so you've been warned.
I would also anonymously ask Nintendo if "for some reason" (Don't say anything specific) the warranty ended up being void, if they would still send it back to you. Just to make sure.
You could say something like "I don't remember ever having dropped it or spilled anything on it or anything but just in case you determine the warranty's void, I DO get my Wii back, right?"
Once again, usually this is risky and not recommended but that's basically what I'd expect you'd need to do for it to look like it hadn't been tampered with.
