After I used Light Mode, lots of my channels on the vWii wouldn't work (CTGP-R, Riivolution, etc.) Is this because of the IOSs that were restored during the process. Is there a way to get them back?

Hey @GaryOderNichts , I used vWii decsfeinnator to try to fix my vWii because when I used wuphax to inject hackmii, the Mii Channel made the whole console crash. Luckily I had a nand backup of the vWii, but restoring it did not fixed the problem.
The problem: Every channel makes the console crash, also booting a disc.
I used vWii decafeinnator at first to try to restore it in a pinch, it didn’t worked ( Tried specific IOS/App, light mode and agressive mode).
Then tried to restore the Nand, since it was clean from any modification. Also did not worked.
Do you think you could help me ?
(It also seems this problem was present before even touching the vWii mode, but it should be fixable right ?)

I've tried vWii Decaffeinator and not even Aggressive Mode fixed my vWii. In case you're all wondering, every time I try to launch my vWii, my TV screen turns black and stays black completely while my Wii U gamepad screen just takes me straight back to the Wii U menu. Because of this, I have no way of playing my Wii games or VC-injected Gamecube games.

So quick question regarding this tool, does this tool only allow you to restore vWii without a nand backup or does this also allow you to restore with a backup? I wanted to know if I should have vWii Nand restorer tool or if I can also use this with my backup?
