Hi all

Been away from the wii hacking forums for a while now and a bit out of touch. About 2 years ago i unbricked my wii using an infectus chip and flashing bootmii to boot2, then used a nand formatter to recover the system files.

I have a friend who has fully bricked their wii without any protection installed (bootmii,priiloader etc)and is sending it to me. Its not as old as mine and im guessing he doesnt have the old vulnerable boot2.

Is there a newer technique to unbrick wii's with the new boot2 and no keys or protection?

Thanks for any advice

Dan

Actually the vulnerability was in boot1, not boot2.

no, no nand dump was made before he bricked it. is it possible to extract the keys using infectus from a dump if i remove the nand?

    i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt.

    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.

    Free release can have loopholes where they still make money through ads
