It has become completely strange. My bricked switch gives 3 different error messages. In Hekate at CFW he gives a PKG2 error, in Atmosphere a key derivation error and in Hekate StockFW a PKG1 error. I am now wondering which of the errors is the right one that is causing the brick

Try turning on the switch normally if it's in a boot loop its bricked if not it's a corrupted file so you just want to reinstall the cfw I have done this many times now

It sounds like your files are just outdated.

It‘s in boot process then he is bricked. There don‘t helps reinstalling the cfw or similar. I need only a unbrick method there can fix this 3 errors

As long as it's a RCM switch he can only brick it if the soc fails or something similar

Restore a backup?

Well you can try using ChoiDujour to rebuild your eMMC.

Sounds like a familiar problem i had. Check the sd card in disk management to see if it's formatted IN GPT or MBR

Mine was formatted to GPT which wouldn't work on my switch and it threw these kind of errors at me

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii

    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
