Hacking extract wii serial number from NAND?

[Nicap]

When i have the nand backup, can i extract the wii's serial from it somehow?

I did a search and got returns that showmiiwads can sort off do it. But when i extract the dump i cannot find the settings.txt
I can find a settings.xml, but that doesn't contain a serial.

Install it on a new folder

In your nand extracted folder go to

\title \ 000001 \ 00002 \ data\

and copy setting.txt to NAND_T folder

go to dos prompt (alt + r and type cmd), go to the created folder and type dec < setting.txt > decode.txt

A new file decote.txt will be created with these info:

AREA=
MODEL=
DVD=
MPCH=
CODE=
SERNO=
VIDEO=

You will find your serial on SERNO=

Thank you very much. It worked.

Thank you very much. It worked.

Sorry for my typos on last post (forum ate some of my inverted bars for some reason) , good to know you did it anyway.

setting.txt is editable. the SERNO in there may not be your real one

Is there also a Version for x64 Systems.
Its a 16 bit App -> x64 can't emulate 16 bit apps

I used DosBox to run it here. I think there is not.

dec.exe in NAND_T is buggy since the output is truncated for all pal wii (see the spoiler)

Spoiler

AREA=EUR

MODEL=RVL-001(EUR)

DVD=0

MPCH=0x7FFE

CODE=LE

Here is my version. It works for pal consoles, not tested for other regions.

If you want you can compile it online

http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/compile/

CODE#include
#include

unsigned long lolcrypt(char *stuff)
{
ÂÂÂÂunsigned long key = 0x73b5dbfa;
ÂÂÂÂwhile(*stuff) {
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ*stuff ^= (key & 0xff);
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂstuff++;
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂkey = ((key31));
ÂÂÂÂ}
ÂÂÂÂreturn key;
}

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
ÂÂÂÂint i;
ÂÂÂÂchar *buff = malloc(0x100);

ÂÂÂÂmemset(buff, 0, 0x100);

ÂÂÂÂfor(i=0; i

This will view/edit setting.txt

not sure if it works on x64

You're right, stupid me.
Months ago I've written a tutorial for comex nand formatter and I used SettingEdit already.
I'm getting old.

I have a NAND backup and Id like to look inside it.Its possible then to have a NAND extracted folder where I can see the folder structure of my NAND?Which toold would I use for doing this task?

Greetings.

Ok,thanks davebaol.My NAND backup was made with bootmii,Showmiiwads is able to read it or I need any tool like nand extractor?

Thx.

 

[davebaol]

Tools -> Extract BootMii NAND

I have looking ShowMiiWads and NAND Wii Extractor.It looks that the information that NANDWEx shows is better that Sho...And there is a thing that i dont understand referred to Sho.. .It says that a lot of IOS have 0 bytes.Is it a bug ?because if they have less of 1 Mb it would say 0,0... MB,isn'it?

Greetings.

PD: Can you explain me a little your program?I dont understand the origin of unsigned long key = 0x73b5dbfa; for example.
