Hacking Bricked wii?

[Nepeta]

Ok, well. Yesterday I downgraded from 4.0u to 2.2u and then my friend came over with The conduit (great game) and he popped it in, and right after it finished updating it went to a black screen. We waited a couple minutes, then turned the wii's power off by holding down the power button. Now it just boots into a black screen. Is this a brick or a common problem, and what can I do to fix it? am I fucked?

I'm getting that with my Wii. I hope we can fix it

Did you put a disk in and have the same situation or did you just randomly turn on to a black screen? just wonderin lol.

N**b!

Why would you downgrade? If your going to upgrade after each new game that comes out?
I don't see any reason to downgrade if all the basic things you want you can do with a trucha bug 4.0
Load ISO, Wads, Bootmii, Preloader.

Well you updated using an official update which for the Conduit is 4.0 I think.
Now you system menu is corrupt and theres no way you can fix it!!
Unless you buy a modchip.
But I wont explain any further cause your not going to buy it.

Also the guy in the second post your a bigger n**b for using a NTSC Update than the PAL update you where supposed to use.

^ Wow that was incredibly helpful...

Was it perhaps an out of region update? In that case its a region brick.
If the wiimotes don't sync its a failure in the bluetooth device.

If you don't have preloader or bootmii, your both screwed. You'll need to buy a modchip or savemii. (Unless Savemiifrii works)

Dude, I spent a half an hour trying to install a backup loader so I wouldn't have to update. I couldn't even find a working wad installer so I got a wad manager which gave me errors.

I had bootmii. Then I updated to 4.0 and lost it without noticing and I downgraded to 2.2

How did you lose it? You can't delete it by updating...
Or did you delete it off the SD card?

Also, if I can ask, why 2.2 and not 3.2?

There's a program called "BrickBlocker"
It blocks the updates from disc.
Also you are clearly a new guy so theres really nothing that you can do without sending it to Nintendo to fix.
Or buy a modchip.
Also you could have just used the backup loader dol, if it was too much trouble going to HBC to run it.
Its annoying but its better than getting a Wii Bricked!

I made a previous post to this guy and I have tried the HBC backup disc because I have a Wiinja 2 modchip which has become very useless of recent. So I decided to use NeoGamma, and when I tried installing a couple of wads and uninstalling them after finding out they didnt help, I get this black screen

Ohh it's saved on the SD card? Well I didn't delete it but I have a micro SD that I use and I lost the SD Card adapter so yeah.. I use my 128mb sd card now. Also, the only downgrader I found was for 2.2- it was Waninko's. Well it had 2.0,2.1, and 2.2

Also, I have the money for a modchip if I have to buy one. I know for a fact its much cheaper than Nintendo's repair center.What modchip do you guys suggest, and I would need to know how to install it

EDIT: I have bootmii on another SD card so if I find the SD card will I be able to fix my wii without getting a modchip?

 

[Nepeta]

Bump?

 

[dustloop]

I think we are both screwed

BootMii does not work this way.

 

[Nepeta]

well I found the SD card it was on so yeah..

 

[Nepeta]

Bump? I found the SD card bootmii and everything was on

 

[tj_cool]

Run bootmii
If you have a nand backup, restore it
If not, downgrade again (Use bootmii to launch HBC)

Thanks man! can't believe I didn't think of that!

And you might want to use the tools in this guide to downgrade or something while you're at it since you seem to only be finding really outdated things or something if all it had was 2.2:
