Hello,
I messed up my wii by trying to install a theme and whenever it boots it just shows a bunch of colored lines going down the screen. After looking online I managed to find this guide: http://www.hacksden.com/showthread....Guide-for-Low-Level-Brick-(Full-Brick)-Repair , and was wondering if this was the only way to fix my Wii? I don't wanna do something overly complicated then need be so is this what I should be doing? Also if so does anyone know where I can find Xavbox Software v1.0.0.7? Dunno if its "unallowed software", but I can't seem to find it anywhere online.

EDIT: Forgot to mention I don't have priiloader or anything unfortunately. When I installed hbc, It said bootmii couldn't be installed.

That's hardware related. If you weren't able to install BootMii as boot2 and you didn't install Priiloader you're probably screwed. Otherwise you'll have to desolder the NAND from the console's board and re-flash it with a good one. You'll need your console's encryption keys to do that.

I do have the nand and keys. Seeing as the process includes multiple things I do not have, do you know of anyone reputable I could ship the wii to in order to flash the nand?

The theme messed up of you installed the wrong system menu version. The only way to fix it is if you can get into HBC, otherwise you might have to use a hardware flasher.

Hello. My name is Joey. I have modded quite a few wii's over the past few years and I ran into a problem with my friends wii, it fully bricked. Was trying to downgrade system menu and it froze forcing me to hold power button down. I forgot to make a back up of any sort and now stuck with this bricked wii. Any ideas or thoughts ? Any way I can get some help or tips

Read what you quoted. Your Wii is fully bricked as you said and will require external hardware to fix.

After getting Everything I think I can fix it, I just need some more help. I accidentally broke the ribbon cord for my infectus2 cause I'm a stupid idiot. The site I got it from has the cable(but super overpriced). Its listed as a FFC flat cable 15pin, 40 cm and the back says "WENXIN e230343 awm 20798 80c 60v vw-1 h". I haven't been able to match anything with 100% guarantee. Does this match the one I am looking for? This is a picture of mine.

    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.

    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.

    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @salazarcosplay if they made a prequel, it would still be about current issues, cause it doesn't make sense to make it about stuff that happened 30 years ago that nobody cares about anymore
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's too late
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the older south park episodes about particular issues usually age poorly since the topic is no longer relevant
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    an exception is giant douche vs turd sandwich, that's always relevant :P
