Soo, i have Korean Wii (unfortunately D4 Drive) that was bricked, i bought it working ofc changed region to JP, but i (stupid) did Factory reset, so it was bricked (003) and without any BootMii or any modchip, what are my options here? I'm considering buying Dvd drive (D2B) i found it for 9$ i think, and I'm going to do (YAOSM ) Modchip with PIC 16F630, so it can run burnt disc, so my question is this the right direction for this? Or there's another solution?

Not exactly what you were asking, but a factory reset wouldn't result in 003 brick. Did you do anything else? Like maybe do an official update or install anything else?

In the future I suggest u use modmii to either softmod, region change and/or update system menu versions. Even if you had done just 1 of these 3 things using modmii your brick would have been avoided.

I'm asking for solution my brother, factory reset followed by update i think, lol because i wanted to change my language from Japanese to English, i missed up real bad, can you offer me a solution? I already spent 10$ on PIC and some other wirings and stuff so i can program my PIC to Soldering it on Wii

If u can get into a homebrew environment then it's cake. I don't think SaveMiiFrii or bluebomb will work in this case, although I think with some tweaks bluebomb might be capable. I've heard that there are a bunch of different bluebomb "stages" compiled for different games on that mariocube site. If u can launch into any of those games in theory u can launch the corresponding bluebomb stage to launch homebrew. Bluebomb needs Linux and Bluetooth though, I've actually never even attempted it personally.

To fix this u can either install modmii's recommended ios80 wad (which is actually a patched version of ios60v6174), and/or use koreankii to remove the Korean key from your seeprom. Both are super easy if u have homebrew access.

U could also restore a nand backup if u have one from before doing the update, but without bootmii access you'd be reliant upon using a hardware flasher like infectus.

A new/used wii is probably cheaper than trying to get an infectus though.

Edit: I know more about brick prevention than brick recovery though. With some luck someone else might have some other more viable ideas for you

Good luck

I appreciate your help very much my friend ❤️, if there's something it can help me on this subject please send me a link or tutorial or something, if it requires Laptop, i can turn my laptop to.linux and i have Bluetooth in my laptop, if it needs soldering i have the skills, if it needs DIY I'll do it, if it needs DVD 📀 I'll buy one, anything doesn't require something to be bought I'll do it in order to save this console, I'm buying DVD Drive (D2A) and Some PIC microcontroller so i can program it to YAOSM

before it bricked,the menu is under 4.3?if it under 4.3 ,you could try use disc to update,i dont try that!
This is bad advice for many reasons. If you install a system update that doesn't match the region of your console, you can permanently brick it as a result. If the Korean Wii still has the Korean key in the system, and that you had already homebrewed the system without removing it, then there's no way of recovering without using Mario Kart PWNS through recovery mode.

    @kijetesantakalu042, Well the ironic thing about Terraria is that it was my game. I have over thousands of hours into the game. If there's one game that defined my childhood and can still carry me on through my multitude of coping mechanisms, Terraria would be there for me. It's just not that much because the game's vibe after 1.4.4 changed for the wrose
