People can't follow simple instructions, so there's nothing to do to help them.
they think they know better and don't have to read, reply or follow instruction even if they don't succeed to do what they want without help, and think they don't need to to what we suggest even if they are asking for help.

I really don't understand the reasoning here.

some users are just destined to brick their consoles.

My answers

1. Can you still run vWii ?
-Yes
2. Can you run HBC?
-No: I deleted it thinking I could just reinstall it
3. Do you have a USBLoader forwarder installed ?
-No: I have downloaded one but don't have it installed on my vWii menu and keep getting an error when I attempt to install it.
4. Did you install vWii cIOS or wii cIOS ? and are they still available?
-I'm not sure: This is where things get complicated, previous to my deleting the HBC, I was trying to install the proper cIOS for my Wiiflow app to work correctly, but I wasn't well educated on exactly how to do so, I think I have damaged or corrupted my IOS58 and/or an important cIOS file and that's how my problem was born.
5. Do you have a game disc compatible with vWii exploit?
-Yes: Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Smashstack exploit)
6. Is your exploit game still working?
-Yes: The game disc itself and the exploit both are working

You have been told repeatedly to stop Hijacking threads. Why will you not start a thread of your own?
If you cannot follow the simplest of instructions, how is it others will trust you to do the more difficult stuff.

https://gbatemp.net/forums/wii-u-hacking-homebrew.248/create-thread

And, also, I believe you were being helped in PMs by a knowledgeable person of this forum but all that info is private and we have no idea what you have tried and succeeded with or failed at. That is the risk you run when you try to get help only through PMs.

Excuse me? Wasn't I supposed to post my reply to Cyan's post here? I thought I was supposed to post my relpy here on the forum and wasn't aware that I was supposed to send it to him privately, I will go do that and tell everyone here to ignore my post and get rid of it. Again, not only am I new to GBAtemp, but I'm also new to forum sites period and not very knowledgeable about how, what, where, and when to post, SO I CAN ONLY APOLOGIZE FOR MAKING MY MISTAKE AND WILL FIX IT, BUT PLEASE DON'T BECOME AGGRAVATED WITH ME, I AM NOT TRYING TO HIJACK THREADS, I ACTUALLY HAVE PEOPLE HELPING ME NOW, I SIMPLY MADE ANOTHER MISTAKE OF POSTING WHERE I WASN'T SUPPOSED TO, IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN, from now on, I will keep all my matters on my own started forums, if needed, and I will keep all my matters with other users private, that was my intention to begin with. Pardon me if I'm sounding harsh and over-sensitive, but it was just another honest mistake and I don't want or need anyone becoming upset with me (I know it may not be your intention to sound harsh, you just sound upset to me, maybe I do need to 'grow some thicker skin'), now I know I'm wasting the thread and your time by posting this further thread. You won't have to worry about hearing from me on this forum or any other again.

That response is childish and trollish and extremely disappointing.

If you are trying to anger me it will take a lot more than that to do it.

If you are truly ignorant of how a forum works and have read all the faqs and help pages and still do not grasp how forums work, you will be unable to fix your problem here.

You are NOT the OP(Original Poster or Original Post)of this thread. This thread is to help ,specifically, Andrewbinns with their problem.
If you open a new thread of your own, THAT WOULD BE THE PLACE TO SEEK HELP WITH YOUR PROBLEM. I cannot be any clearer.
Also, Please do not PM a moderator without them requesting that you do so.

Look, the last thing I want to do is irritate and anger you, that was the point of my response, I genuinely apologize for being a little over-sensitive, I just wanted to make it clear that it was not intended that I make it seem like I was posting here to get others from this forum to help me and I'm still learning how to make appropriate posts. I think this is just a misunderstanding and I really don't want it to get any worse, my previous post was meant for Cyan only, hes helping me out and he asked me in a PM to answer those questions and that's just what I did, I should've just posted it in the private conversation I started between him and I. The way I went about my response was wrong, I know I'm a total noob, so all I ask for is patience, that's all, can you forgive me?

You want to boot "syscheck" by using wuphax method?
I'm not entirely sure it will work fine, as wuphax is written specifically to load the hackmii installer.
Doing random things without asking if it's safe can be even worse !

but you can try. it seems you like trying things.
the syscheck is in my signature, since .. always.

Do you know what you are doing? which file you have to replace?
If your vWii is bricked, you can fix it in Wii mode, no need to use WUPHax. but.. well, I don't know what you want to achieve.
I can just guess you want to run syscheck by launching Miimaker on vWii instead of launching hackmii installer?

holy crap this thread is a mess
He appearently uninstalled hbc and can´t run smash anymore because he fucked up his vwii cios with wii cios
I also would try to reinstall HBC with wuphax and try to run it its worth a try if you cant boot smash anymore

Good luck btw

if he replaced vWii IOS with Wii IOS, 58 is replaced.
if he still has a clean vWii IOS, then he should just Wuphax directly without trying to run syscheck from it.

I haven't read anything from users fixing their vWii brick by replacing IOS app with FTPiiU yet. I don't know if it's working fine or not.

Yess you can, you need to rename the boot.dol file to boot.elf
But im affraid that i will fullbrick my vwii so i just downloaded fstoolbox, i've never used it before so can you explain me what that is?

booting syscheck probably wont do anything bad to youre wii u

to explain wuphax it backups youre miimaker chanel and installs a modified one
after that run wuphax with the boot.dol you want to load probably hbc installer or syscheck
posting a syscheck here is the best you can do atm.

please dont do anything else than trying to get a syscheck

fstoolbox is to dump youre nand you wont need to dump youre nand its fucked up anyways atm ;)

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

oh before i forget a syscheck just lists all youre installed if youre able to get this list you probably are able to install good vwii ones over the wii ones youve installed atm thats why syscheck is so important

Just try wuphax homebrew installer or wuphax syscheck we need the syscheck anyways to try to help you out of youre problem

boot.dol file to boot.elf
That's the thing : elf and dols are different.
that's why Fix94's "boot.dol" inside the miimaker is a "elf loader", to load the "boot.elf" of hackmii installer located on SD card.

Maybe you can replace that "boot.dol" located inside miimaker with the boot.dol from syscheck. I don't know what will happen, at worst it will not work, you can restore the original miimaker by running wuphax again.
Though, syscheck requires AHB access, and I don't think Miimaker has it. that's why I said it might not work on my previous post.

I don't know if WUPhax is replacing the tmd too.

I've had FTPiiU not work when uploading files. It'll just mess with the data and *boom* the file doesn't work.
Uploading them with wupserver seems to work. may just be unlucky though.
