Well, that's odd. Other than what jonthedit says I don't know what could be making to send NO signal. You could try letting it sit for a moment to give it time to start up and then hit power and then reset and see if the HBC magically comes up (that's what you'd push to get it to bring if the homebrew channel if bootmii DID come up on the screen)Well they're in the right place and I tried 2 different 2GB cards so... I don't know why it doesn't work. Can you think of anything else?
okay, that's coolNever mind my last post. I tried a third SD card and it booted
okay, that's cool
NOW
need to figure out exactly what's broken to be able to fix it
Do you happen to have any gamecube controllers ?I'm at the homebrew channel right now, but I have one problem. None of my Wii remotes can connect to the wii for some reason. Any ideas?
Do you happen to have any gamecube controllers ?
Homebrew can't sync a new controller and whatever you removed must have deleted the system settings ... but JoostinOnline is really the expert in that area.
Yeah, you need some way to control it or you're not going to get much done.I don't have a gamecube controller... But there must be something I can do right? I'll try to concact JoostinOnline too then if we can't figure it out.
Yeah, that'll do it. I think if you un-install one system menu WAD it'll get rid of any system menu you happen to have installed, no matter which one you had installed. Also, the IOS that the system menu uses is also on the list so even if you had the system menu it still wouldn't work.Anyway here is a list of what I might have possibly removed (Probably 99% of them):
1OS236.wad
cIOS16-v257.wad
cIOS30-v6174.wad
cIOS36-v3094.wad
cIOS50-v4889.wad
cIOS60-v6174.wad
cIOS70-v6174.wad
cIOS80-v6174.wad
System Menu-NUS-v450.wad (I did have System Menu-4.2E-v482.wad installed already though)
IOS38-64-v3867.wad
IOS53-64-v5406.wad
IOS55-64-v5406.wad
Yeah, that'll do it. I think if you un-install one system menu WAD it'll get rid of any system menu you happen to have installed, no matter which one you had installed. Also, the IOS that the system menu uses is also on the list so even if you had the system menu it still wouldn't work.
By any chance is there anyone who'd be able to lend you a GC controller?
Or even going out and trying to find one cheap. Your game saves might be worth the money if you can find one cheap enough.
I'll keep thinking :/Good that you found the problem. But the controller problem is going to be the tough one. I don't think I know anyone who still has a gamecube controller and if I order anything it will probably arrive to late as I'm leaving for vacation tomorrow... I will still try to find one, but if you could come up with something else that would be awesome.
Anyway if I DO need to get a gamecube controller I'll have to do the rest of the fixing tomorrow (It's almost 2 in the morning here and I leave in the evening so I'll have time). If you could post the rest of the instructions for after I figure out how to navigate through the homebrew channel that'd be even more awesome.I'll keep thinking :/

I was also going to ask how I could safely perform the data transder but I guess that can wait. Thanks Maxternal for the huge amount of help, I'll be here for another hour searching for other solutions, but if nothing is found I'll be here tomorrow with a controller.
There's the source of all Wii remotes not working. When you uninstall the System Menu, remotes won't sync. You can use bootmii as boot2 to load the Homebrew Channel (or cboot2 to load homebrew directly), but the remotes won't work. As to why that is, I don't have the slightest clue. Everything related to remote registration is in the shared2\sys\SYSCONF file, which isn't touched when you uninstall the SM.Yeah, that'll do it.

I'm not sure why I stopped looking into it. I probably got distracted by an ice-cream truck or something, then moved on to something else.

Well, let's hear it. All I want is to perform the data transfer and it looks like I don't have too many options.
If you don't mind hacking your vWii, the easiest thing to do is just make a NAND dump, extract everything with ShowMiiNand, then install it on your vWii.
