Hacking Black screen after Health Screen

[Sabin_Figaro]

Taken from the Savemiifrii post:

I have a wii that shows a black screen ffter the health warning. It's 3.4U, it just bricked while playing.

NO MODCHIP
NO preloader
NO bootmii backup since it has bootv2

There is no banner brick. There is no weird channel installed, only HBC and Neogamma. And they show just fine on the maintenance mode. Heck, I just played some Galaxy on Neogamma. The person that uses this wii is clueless on the hacking scene, does not even have a sd card

The thing is, it doesn't work without maintenance mode and it's pissing me off.

And holy shit, it just booted by entering maintenance mode. I can go to the HBC and neogamma.

It fully works! But I want it to work without that maintenance mode trick, shall I format?

Updated to 4.2u..... new system menu is up using Clipper's guide.... but only works on maintenance mode wtf black screen after health warning. System menu on options is 4.2u, Maintenance Mode does not show SD card menu, so it's rolling back on a old System Menu?

Updated using DOPMii

Updated shop to v19, it shows a white channel on the system menu but it works....

This is really weird

UPDATE: Tried the mailbox brick fix, no dice

If it is working in maintenacne mode, it could be a mail brick. Try-

Det1re's Mailbox Brick Fix.

1. Copy "apps" and "fstoolbox" to your SD card root and overwrite if asked.
2. Startup the Wii and boot HBC (you can use BootMii, Preloader or the Maintainance mode)
to do so.
3. From HBC, run FSToolbox r50 and follow the on-screen instructions until you see your
Wii's file struct (import, meta, shared1, shared2, sys, ticket, title, tmp).
4. Navigate to shared2/wc24/ and replace any file with the one from SD by pressing PLUS.
5. Navigate to shared2/wc24/mbox/ and do the same there.
6. End the app and restart the Wii. You will get a message that your Mail account is broken
and will be restored.

Doing the steps above will remove all your saved friends and all messages from your
Message Board.

Or try a system format, which would remove all your saves and channels.

...and then tell us if it works, so I can try it again.

Installed Priiloader, does not work. Still works on Maintenance Mode

Tried that twice, nothing.

I have reports that a RESET may fix it. I may need to delete priiloader first and I don't know if it's worth the risk. Also, if I reset I will kill HBC and I don't know if I can use bannerbomb on maintenance mode, or if I may get a full brick.

If the person wants to take the risk I may do it. But so far it's too much to do.

Question: Can I delete the shop channel?

Yes just get anytitledeleter/mod

Do NOT format the wii. All that will do is make it worse. Also, do not remove Priiloader.

Bannerbomb does not work in maintenance mode since the SD card menu is not available. Indiana Pwns will still work though.

As for your shop channel, yeah, you can delete it. It's title ID is HABA. You can delete it with AnyTitleDeleter, or get a wad of the shop and uninstall that in wad manager.

DEFINITELY sounds like a mail brick.
perhaps go into settings in maintenance mode and make sure WiiConnect24 is off, then reboot normally and see if it boots...

 

[Sabin_Figaro]

WiiConnect24's options cannot be accessed on Maintenance mode

ah thats.... unfortunate... and odd. why give a maintenance mode if you can't maintain the Wii XD

 

[mauifrog]

You don't need to uninstall priiloader to do the format, it should be fine. That caused issue with preloader, but AFAIK the issue is fixed with priiloader. Also, the format will not remove priiloader, so you can use it to reinstall HBC if needed. You have a good chance that the format would fix your issue.

Your only other option is to reinstall the system ios and system menu, use dop-mii if you like. But this usually does not help when the wii functions in maintenance mode, and it will remove priiloader but dop-mii can restore it for you.

 

[Sabin_Figaro]

The only way to restore HBC is thru Bannerbomb and it doesn't work anymore since maintenance mode does not have SD menu, and I'm (Stupidly) on 4.2

You can reinstall HBC by loading HackMii Installer with Priiloader.

If for some reason you don't have Priiloader, use SmashStack (for USA consoles), or Indiana Pwns (for USA or PAL consoles).

Is this a dol file or a disc?

I think its a disc, hmm maybe dol, because priiloader can only load dol's and elf's n'such. i also got an idea for you to load it, if you can load it up with matenince mode then go to the homebrew channel and install priiloader and load the dol and save ur wii. If its a Disc use savemiifrii to save your wii.

 

[linuxares]

Try to reinstall all the IOSes for your system menu. See if one of them are corrupted.

 

[Sabin_Figaro]

Already did. It was on 3.4u and now is on 4.2u thanks to dopmii. No dice

Savemiifrii it's worthless without a modchip...

Could it not be a missing setting.txt???

 

[Sabin_Figaro]

Could it not be a missing setting.txt???

Tell me more good sir

 

[wes11ph]

Tell me more good sir

if the wii still boots up, then the setting.txt is still there. the only problem you have is you cannot go to the menu normally.
while you can still access HBC you can still recover this kind of problem.

you can load wii backup disc 1.31 using multi boot. you don't need to go to RM to load it there. just install a cios first.

and never ever remove priiloader, it is the last thing that will save your wii.
