    Hacking Worried I've possibly bricked my Wii

    UPDATE: bad_ad84 has fixed my Wii (and fortunately because I had backed up my NAND, I guess it made things a lot easier for him) and I've sent him the payment for the repair so I should get it back in a few days. At the end of the day, I just want to say how grateful I am for a forum like this...

    Hacking Will there ever be a CFW that doesn't require a downgrade?

    I'm curious as to whether there will ever be a CFW for PS3 that would allow the user to play PS1/PS2/PS3 backups as well as homebrew from within an internal drive or an external one. The reason why I ask is that the ones I've seen so far aren't too bad, but at the same time they mainly involve...

    Hacking Worried I've possibly bricked my Wii

    I'll definitely be keeping the SD card within the Wii itself as well as making a new NAND backup (for which I thank God I backed it up in the first place on the SD card! ). I never knew that compatabili9ty and speed were better on a SD card than a external drive although I take it that...

    Hacking Worried I've possibly bricked my Wii

    That's definitely good to know and of course, I take it that it's definitely safe to install homebrew again through the Homebrew Channel on the SD card and on a external hard drive (I'm thinking of getting a new 1TB USB-powered 2.5" hard drive for Wii backups and homebrew) as well...

    Hacking Worried I've possibly bricked my Wii

    Thanks for assisting Bad_Ad84 with the cIOSes that he needs. I take it once these are installed, the cIOSes won't need to be updated for quite a while? That's what I like about the forums here. Even though there are a few trolls here (then again, every forum always has at least one troll), the...

    Hacking Worried I've possibly bricked my Wii

    Bad_Ad84, I'll be sending you a PM concerning the Wii itself as I definitely would like you to fix it if you can. By the way, which part of the UK do you live in? I live in Runcorn near Liverpool. EDIT: Can anyone recommend a good cIOS for Bad_Ad84 to use with priiloader for more recent games...

    Hacking Worried I've possibly bricked my Wii

    It's a PAL one from the UK if that's any help... In the meantime, I'd like to say "Thanks" to those who've offered me advice so far. I'll give the ModMii another go tomorrow morning and see how things go from there with the bootmii files.

    Is there a particular folder I should put them in if I download them from this site?

    Hacking Worried I've possibly bricked my Wii

    Before the Wii got supposedly bricked, I remember seeing two bootmii icons on the Homebrew Channel amongst the homebrew that I could select. I modded my Wii practically a year ago so I can't exactly remember what the Hackmii installer said about installing bootmii, unfortunately. Out of...

    Hacking Worried I've possibly bricked my Wii

    There's two bootmii icons installed on the Homebrew Channel; one of which says something about bootmii as boot 2. Sorry for asking all these questions, but I've never had something like this happen before and I'd rather try everything possible before taking it to a repair shop tomorrow.

    Hacking Worried I've possibly bricked my Wii

    I've held the RESET button for a minute straight after pressing the Power button and it still didn't work.

    Ah, I thought you had to hold it for 5 seconds... *sweatdrop* JoostinOnline, would you say that it's safe to hold the RESET button for at least a minute...

    Hacking Worried I've possibly bricked my Wii

    petspeed, I tried your advice and it didn't seem to work. As for the cIOS files, they were on the memory card that I copied from the 'COPY TO SD' that I created when I was using ModMii on Friday. I confess that I've never heard of a problem like this before, a Wii not working after installing...

    I'll give that a try and see if that works. Thanks for the advice!

    Hacking Worried I've possibly bricked my Wii

    I installed WiiMod trying to get some Priiloader mods to work (Which I couldn't find) and after that, I did a batch install of cIOS files. Once I did that, I exited back to the Homebrew Channel and pressed the Home button to check whether the cIOS I set previously would work with Xenoblade...
