Hacking Did wiikey updated wrong accidently.. need help..

[CDRacingZX6R]

I updated from the SMG disk before there was the new firmware release from wiikey. I know, I'm a tard. I tried to update the firmware using the new disk. Got all the way to the part where it was 100 percent, and said update successful. Restart the wii and now it wont read disks. Any of them.

I tried to use the recovery disk, but it doesn't appear to be reading it. (1.9b recovery). This is how im doing it, just to make sure Im doing it right. I turn the wii on, eject whatever s in it. Then put the recovery disk in, and hit reset. Then allow it to sit up to 3 minutes. Then when I attempt to put any other disk in, still nothing. Am I doing something wrong here, or is it simply not reading the recovery disk.

Ive made a few more to make sure it was not a disk error and burned it at speeds of 1X, 2X. Still nothing.

Can someone tell me how to fix this and get this update back on track?

Some more background (I didnt update to 1.9b, and only had whatever the original firmware is on the modchip).

Thanks for anyone who is willing to give some time.

have you tried running 1.3?

 

[CDRacingZX6R]

Tried running 1.3, even filechoped it to gamecube size. Still no go.

Is the procedure Im doing correct? Turn on, eject whatever is in there. Put disk in, reset and let it sit for minimum of 3 minutes? And its supposed to recover right?

Only thing I can think is maybe some how I killed off my wiikey. I guess maybe I should switch to D2CKEY, since the updates seem to be easyer to install. Sucks though cause im poor.

The updates to D2C aren't easier to install, there was no update for D2C in regards to Galaxy, it just worked.


Did you get to 100% at the end of testing, or 100% at the end of full update? It should have had a homer simpsons voice if you did.


The best bet for people doing these updates is using a gamecube controller, that way, you just press a button on it when prompted, and eventually the system resets and it updates no problems.


I updated 7 systems yesterday, some from people who had used the Galaxy update beforehand and had no issues.


If anything, i reckon people who dont use a cube controller, are pressing reset at the wrong time, or double pressing it.


Updating Wiikey is as easy as it comes, i don't see where the problems are coming from.

I updated and got the 100 percent but no homer simpson voice. It just said 100 percent. I let it sit there for 10 minutes before restarting. Once I restarted it and tried SMG it said "unable to read disc, consult owners manual". So I tried other backups, and still got the same error.

It appears not to read any disks now, and sometimes when I put a disk in, it spits it out, takes it back in, and spits out completely.

I've tried the recovery disk. Assuming I did it correctly, and I still get the disk error. Thats why Im wondering if I somehow killed off the wiikey.

Is there something I can do to get this thing reading disks again, so I can try to update it with the gamecube controller? (I used the reset button last time. So maybe that didnt help).

Any advice would be great. Ive made about 20 coasters so far.

Nevermind, I got it to work. I was using a bad media for updates. I saw other people say it worked for them so I never suspected it. Out of desperation I went to target picked up some new media and worked first try.

Thanks

Hi CDRacingZX6R,
I am having a similar problem as you, however my wii stopped playing backups after I deleted the "???" channel.

In any case, which was the media that you used? Also did you pad the iso for the recovery disk? and after the 3 minutes did you take out the disk before turn on and off or vise versa? (I know that last one is a bit stupid but just I've been trying everything >_>). Media I have tried are Memorex DVD-R burnt at 4x, and Fujifilm DVD+RW burnt at 2x and 4x.

I have a US wii with wiikey 1.9b and used config 1.3. Wii is updated to 3.1u.

Seatech 30, do you know what was this (one ?) "???" channel, and how did you delete it ?

And yes for most people I have seen having problems to update genuine Wiikeys, most common problem is :

Using BAD media (when switching to Verbatim 16x -R burnt at 4x, everything goes fine)

ledav007, I have no clue what the "???" channel is, I just figured it was some random garbage in memory, so I decided to delete it. I had just DLed the metroid prime preview channel when I first noticed this ??? channel. I deleted the channel from withing the data>channel management menu. The channel actually holds a blank spot in the wii main screen. That is all I know about it. Mine was 7 blocks, I believe I read elsewhere someone had one that was 10 blocks.
