Hacking Bootmii NAND restoring

[_acid_]

Does any1 know if i use bootmii to restore to a older NAND will it downgrad it to 4.2(i updated to 4.3). and will it change EVERYTHING on my wii to the copy even cIOS's and IOS's i messed with?(i made my wii able to use neogamma r8) plz tell me your answer in detail

It will restore your wii too the same state it was at when you backed it up.

Possibly, from what I know the NAND is just a dump of the wii's internal memory at the time you backed up the NAND.
So I guess it would restore everything to what you had on your wii right before you made the NAND dump...I've never restored my NAND before so that might not be the case

 

[WiiJohn]

Yes its as people have said, it restores to backed up state.
I have done this several times going from 4.1e to 4.3e for testing.
Only thing to note is make sure your SD card has the the same apps as when you backed up, or some HBC won't work.

thx 4 the answer. what about nintendo points that were spent before the restore?

 

[elimist]

I don't think restoring your nand will change that because it is not stored on your console

can you use another wiis nand on a different wii?

can you use another wiis nand on a different wii?

Yes, if you know both console keys you can use Betwiin, but its not guaranteed to work. (Must meet certain conditions)

 

[VashTS]

you can but it must be converted. i believe betwiin is the app to convert nand dumps. but i believe you need the keys from the "different" wii.

can you restore a bootmii dump using bootmii ios? ive always wondered but never really asked or looked. i remember seeing that in the hbc update changelog, you need to use the konami code to enable or something...

Would it be possible to edit your nand copy?

 

[XFlak]

You can edit an emulated nand and run it using sneek (or uneek+di), but you wouldn't be able to flash that edited & decrypted nand to your wii using bootmii.

is there a way to restore a NAND copy to the wii it's from when the wii has been formated?

is there a way to restore a NAND copy to the wii it's from when the wii has been formated?

As long as you have way to access Bootmii.

What?

I used the darkwii theme but i changed it back to default menu. but now i can't do a bootmii restore with a older NAND dump. it says its from a 'differenrt' wii. Can betwiin help me?

 

[XFlak]

that has nothing to do with your theme. It sounds like a bug made with nand dumps from using Bootmii beta 3 and below.

Download this: Bootmii-KEYFIX.zip

Then fix your NAND.bin to use the correct keys by running the bootmii-keyfix executable in the same location as "NAND.bin" and "keys.bin"

 

[_acid_]

so i only need my old NAND dump and nothing else?

 

[XFlak]

u need the old nand.bin, and keys.bin

if ur missing keys.bin, u can just get it from bootmii, since the keys.bin for your wii will never change
