I mean you said you changed from WBFS Manager to WiiBackupManager,your Steps please,what have you changed please.
Something has happened here when you said after that nothing has worked anymore.

Thank you.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
EDIT:

I looked over Wiiflow v4.2.1 and maybe this can help you on your Issue:

On your SD Card in the Folder "apps\wiiflow" delete the wiiflow.ini and restart Wiiflow.It should re-inizialize the Loader and gives you the Chance to select your USB HDD.

Good luck
Thank you.

Hello.

Thank you for your Update.
I am sorry to hear it is still not working.
I read again over your Description and I have a Question please:



What have you exactly done please ?
Which USB Device did you use ?
How is it formated please ?

Thank you for your Help.

i used a samsung bar 64 gig usb, fat 32 format, and i made a wbfs folder on the drive and used wii backup manager to put games on it, but when wiiflow loads i get a wiiflow loading screen for a few seconds then exception error dsi and it gets stuck in a bootloop until i unplug the wii
edit: i didnt think the other message sent sorry

There is no wiiflow.ini file for me

Nowhere on the whole SD Card ?

EDIT: Is there maybe a WiiFlow Save in the Wii System Settings -> Wii Saves ?

Thank you.

Maybe the issue it's the Samsung bar itself. I read it's a flash drive. Wii and flash drives, often, don't mix.
Can you try with a USB Hard disk or a SD card?
If you have no wiiflow.ini in your apps/wiiflow folder, then most probably Wiiflow was't able to create it. This may suggest that the Samsung bar is not supported by the Wii.

I believe you, but I would check with other storage devices as well, just to be sure.
There were other cases of USB sticks that suddenly stopped working properly with the wii.

He did some "Change" from the WBFS Manager to WiiBackup Manager and now it is no longer working.
I think something goes wrong on the "Migration" Process.

That may be as well. But when I hear of USB sticks I'm always super suspicious

Good to know,thank you for that important Info.
I thought WiiFlow/WiiFlow Lite Mod is unaffected from this "USB Stick Decease".

Sorry for the late reply, okay I will try that

Hi,
I'm trying to unmod my Wii in order to sell it. I've been using this video as a guide () but I'm not sure about the firmware version and region settings I should be using in Ohneswanzenegger.

I'm in Australia and my Wii model number is RVL001(AUS).
Being in Australia I assume I should be using the European firmware (4.3E) but I could be wrong.
There is also a few other settings that I'm not certain about when completing the settings.txt section in Ohneswanzenegger for an Australian console.
Any help would be welcome,
Thanks.

What are you trying to do exactly? You don't need to update the firmware of your Wii. One way to check if your Wii is modded, is by holding the "reset" button on the Wii while turning it on, you should see the Priiloader menu. If you did, congratulations, now you need to update some things, and go get an sd card if you don't have one.

i just tried to update it and it said that it couldn’t. abs mentioned SSID, but it’s connected to my wi-fi.

Is it not because the wii is modded?

Again, if you're trying to update your Wii there's no need/advantage in doing so, in fact there's a risk of bricking your system.

Did Priiloader appear when holding reset on boot?
