Hacking Error autobooting systemmenu! Could not open boot file!

[wiilover28]

Please can someone help me. I have Priiloader v0.7 (r138) installed on my Wii. When i want to go back to the system menu, it says like the title of this post.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks

This looks like either you deleted your IOS70, or system menu 4.2, or your Wii got corrupted. What happens when you try to access the Homebrew Channel?

I can access the homebrew but it doesn't show anything, just the bubble screen thing.
And then yesterday another problem came, I can't access the USB when I try to open USB Loader GX.

Hello.

Is your SD Card ok ? That maybe explains that you have no Applications on Homebrew Channel.

 

[wiilover28]

I have no SD card, should I add one in?

That is requiered for the Applications like USBLoaderGX.

I think you have maybe a greater "problem".

Please be so kind and try to post a syscheck from your Wii:

(@Cyan i don´t forget you to mention.)

Then we can see if your Wii is softmodded correctly and then you can proceed with ModMii.
But please first your Syscheck.

If you don´t able to post it at the moment (in case of a to low Posting count) please browse around in the great forum,maybe someone needs YOUR help too (and increases your posting count).

Thank you.

Ok I'm gonna buy an sd card and will post again maybe tomorrow or the day after that. How much space of an sd card to do this?

homebrew can be placed on FAT32 USB, but I always recommend using an SD card for homebrew (apps/ folder on SD) and data on usb (iso, roms, etc.)
it'll prevent issues you might have if you are using only usb and no SD.
some homebrew have SD card hardcoded too, so it'll not work with usb at all. (I'm not sure about syscheck, maybe it works with USB? in doubt, just use an SD card).

you can use a small SD card, no need of 256GB!
just go with 16 or 32GB SDHC card, instead of SDXC which might not work.
you really don't need a lot, even 2GB or 4GB is enough, but not sure you'll find any.

Alright thatks

I encountered another problem, when I want to do a system check, I can't open the HBC. It says "Error autobooting HBC, maybe title not installed?"

you said you could acces homebrew, what did you do since that post? did you try to fix the console by yourself or by following a youtube tutorial maybe? these are the worst decision ever.

Hello.

I see you are on PRIILOADER 0.7.I remember an that issue whilest the ID is not added in that version.
Please use the load title menu to boot it.

And maybe update the Priiloader to 0.8.
(you can use @XFlak ´s ModMii for that)

yeah sorry i forgot, what do i do next?

 

[Cyan]

if you can't boot either system menu, or HBC manually (not autobooting) following what Alexander said, there's nothing you can do using software method.
the only solution is to flash a backup of your NAND using a hardware device, but you need a NAND backup.
either you made (and kept) a NAND dump when your console was working, or you have your console's private keys and you can generate a clean new NAND using a tool on computer.

if you don't have a dump, and don't have your console's keys, there's a last thing you can do : throw that console and buy a new one.

 

[XFlak]

If it's an old wii that's capable of installing bootmii as boot2, you can inject bootmii directly to boot2 using a nand programmer. I've seen DeadlyFoez do it with his infectus

Edit: still probably not worth the effort and investment for most ppl who aren't DeadlyFoez, lol. So I agree with cyan that ultimately if you can't unbrick using software, it's easier to just buy a new console instead

It beacuse there no system menu on your wii (When you launch update and then you got this error)
