    Hacking Black screen, no AV, help? Also some general help would be nice as well if we get this working...

    That page for bannerbomb says that version is only compatible with 4.2, but I have 4.1. Is that outdated, or is that a problem, or...? EDIT: I went ahead and tried it anyway, I got nothing but a flashing disk drive light and a black screen.

    :O r u a wizard no but seriously that got it working, thanks a million Now I have a wii with nothing but the disc channel. It's 4.1U. What would you recommend I do? Before I go and try to re-soft mod it. Still a bit aggravating that bootmii won't load, would replacing the setting.txt have...

    I followed your instructions up until and including reloading the IOS. As it does when I try to boot directly into bootmii, the screen remains unchanged (but in this case at the select IOS screen with "reloading to IOS254" at the bottom) and the drive light is blinking about once a second.

    System menu didn't load, but cboot2 loaded the wad manager and I installed all the wads from the nand formatter pack over again. There's an IOS58 and an IOS61 in my wad folder too that came with the cboot2 files as well, should I go ahead and install those as well? What should I do now (or after...

    Well I saw that a few minutes late, and immediately after the SD card formatter finished, I put the NAND formatter files back on the card, back into the wii, turned it on, and after the correct it prompting proceeded through all the wads in a timely fashion, but now is either stuck on the last...

    WAIT. I tried the NAND formatter again and it got to the second wad, the one for IOS31, but appears to have stopped there. If it's able to progress through these, does that mean it's possibly going to make enough progress if I keep trying it? Trying the Panasonic SD card formatter now, once...

    FYI I know next to nothing about wii hacking so what may seem easy or basic to you requires hours for me to figure out, only to leave me wondering if I even did it right when it doesn't work. Trust me, I've put hours of effort into this stupid thing only to be denied on every front, so the...

    Sure, I'll try that. I have no idea what that would do, but but having no ideas is why I came to ask for help lol.

    Never have I had to learn so many new things to fix something... man, this is hard. Why can't my wii fuck up normally instead of some freak way where nothing will work? I'll be trying the NAND formatter again in a couple hours, followed by a few other suggestions if that is still unresponsive...

    Trying the nand formatter, I got it to start the installing process but it appears to be stuck on the first wad (the IOS17 one). Also noticed that it only displayed the first six numbers of my serial number rather than the whole thing, is that normal given the settingedit application I used...

    That may be a little bit over my head, I'm not even sure what it means to "compile" something in the coding sense.

    Those didn't do anything different for me unfortunately :/ Does anyone have any clue as to how I could use cboot to restore my wii? It's the only thing I have been able to get my wii to register so far...

    So i've gotten to the point that I'm just trying everything relevant now, and everything has yielded a black screen so far (haven't tried savemiifrii yet tho because from what ive read it requires a modchip which I do not have) except for one thing. I found someone else who appeared to hace had...

    Yes, it flashes twice. Thank goodness, I couldn't remember what I installed bootmii as. But I'm still not sure that I know how to get it working. Everytime I've tried to boot via bootmii the wii just sits there flashing the drive light. Anyone know why that is and/or how to fix that? EDIT...

    Got this wii a short while after brawl came out. Same year I believe, since I had one of those older ones that wouldn't read dual layer disks, so we sent it in and got a new one from nintendo causing us to lose all our data. The wiimotes ARE able to turn on the wii, but they turn off shortly...
