Hacking BootMii experts: Help clean up this myth!!!

NO YOU CAN'T. At the beginning of the nand, there's the information which file is to be found where. All files from priiloader belong to these. So if you restored about 5% of the old nand, that table points to the files from the old nand, while you have the files from the nand you want to get rid of. If you restore about these 5%, you have 0 usable and working files on your nand.

Who said something about restoring the NAND
I said you can boot BootMii IOS, not that you have any use for it

So you 2 are saying even if i use Priiloader to boot directly to Bootmii IOS, I will not be able to restore a NAND backup?

As xflak40 said, if you can load bootmii ios, restoring the nand is the last thing you need to do. The wii can be fixed, without much issue. The only use for bootmii ios is the backup your nand and keys, this way you could use a nand programmer to fix the wii if you do something really stupid. It also provides the benefits of cboot2.

I actually spoke with someone who was smart enough to run the comex formater from his ios install of bootmii. As you can imagine, it did not go as he expected it to.

I would say don't restore with bootmii IOS. Chances are if you CAN get into bootmii IOS, you probably have better ways of fixing it. If you really can't do ANYTHING else to fix it and the only other option would be to send it to Nintendo, then you might as well try doing it first. That shouldn't be too likely though.

^^ Best. Answer. Ever.

How can you A+B+X+Y without GC controller? My Wii doesn't support GC controllers.
