Hacking Bricked PAL Wii under systemmenu 4.0

DSlnik · Apr 4, 2009

Hi there,

I accidentally bricked my Wii with Preloader 0.28 installed.
(Turned of the Wii while dumping a game on my hard drive).
what should I do?

Thank you

PS: I heard i should find the systemmenu wad for 4.0, but it is unfindable for the PAL version :'(

If you hold reset while booting up, do you get the preloader menu, if so from there you can boot into the homebrew channel and run a v4.0 updater which should repair it.

Edit: If you're on 3.2 just run any region changer and reinstall the system menu

Otherwise how far into the startup does your wii go, do you just get a black screen or do you get the health warning, if you get the health warning does it ask you to press A?

Yes, I have acces to the Homebrew channel by using Preloader.
When I turn the Wii on normally, just a black screen with "System files corrupted". The text of the black screen isn't very "clean" (looks like some bits of the image are missing and so on)
So I just install 4.0 again by using waninkoko's installer?

Yeah using the updater should install another copy of 4.0 system menu, which will fix your problem

Otherwise you could run IOS Downgrader (no need to do this if you have trucha signed IOS's), then run any region changer and install system menu 3.2

Just tried to use waninkoko's 4.0 installer, it immediately asks me to restart my Wii (after the press a to continue thingy)

Ok, this methord will work:

When you run any region changer in 4.0 you get an error on startup but it does work, I found it gave me the mismatching region error too as it couldn't read the system menu I was using, but after installing 3.2E it was fine

you'll just have to update to 4.0 afterwards

Do I install the hacks with anyregionchanger?

Yep, they are starfall type hacks so they'll give you recovery type functions. If your going to stright upgrade to 4.0 afterwards tho it doesn't matter as they'll get overwritten

DSlnik · Apr 4, 2009

Ok, it's downloading the files for system menu 3.2E

andrewhan4 · Apr 4, 2009

One thing to remember, once your done preloader will be gone, if you reinstall it run the hacks remover program first.

Thank you so much!

I take it you've got an internet connection, just not to your wii.

If you're on system menu 3.2 then you can fix it with wad manager and a system menu 3.2 wad for your region

If you're on system menu 4.0 i'd suggest that you find a wad for ios 30 v1040 and install that over the top of ios 30 first, ios 30 was stubbed for 4.0 as 4.0 uses ios 60 and I don't know how system menu 3.2 would cope with a stubbed ios

hack remover doesn't work on 4.0 yet...

but why don't you just install preloader 0.29 and try with booting from another ios... if ios30 works you could downgrade to 3.2 and remove ios 60 reinstall ios 60 and reinstall 4.0...
