Need some Advice, I bricked my wii. Heres exactly how I bricked it.
I followed these two guides to try and softmod it.
1. http://my.afterdawn.com/larrylje_redwings/..._entry.cfm/3809
2. http://my.afterdawn.com/larrylje_redwings/..._entry.cfm/3810
I completed guide #1 and up to and including step 5 of guide #2. Once I installed preloader, I tried to return to the system menu and it would only display the preloader boot screen. I just see 4.1 USA in the bottom left when I turn on my wii now. I can get to the preloader menu (explained below)
I didn't check the serial number on my wii it is an LU65 Wii which the guide reccomends not using. My bad, I believe this is what caused the brick
Heres the limitations of my brick:
If I put a wii game in my console and turn it on it will boot into the game (only tested with wii sports).
If I put a GC game into the console it does not boot into it (tested with SSBM)
If I hold the reset button I can bring up the Preloader menu, get into Home Brew Channel and Boot Mii (Installed as IOS). It seemd I can't revert my flash with the image I saved earlier, I get this error message from BootMii:
"BootMii not found, too dangerous to continue! If your SD is corrupt or restore is interrupted, you will be unable to boot to fix it."
Any suggestions on how to remedy this? Would I need to install the old System Menu through WAD manager? Is this risky to do with LU64? Has anyone else bricked their Wii the same way?
Thanks in advance,
let me know if you need more information.
