Hacking Get rid of banner brick on 3.4 without TP Hack

[pspmte]

Ok i have had an idea IOS16 is that a key to a door on the recovery disc can ios 16 run the trucha bug

Its not on anything but the recover disc could we make an ios16 wadmanager disc

BTW zelda in auto boot crashs at the nunchuck screen does nothing after that

 

[fellaw]

Sounds good, IOS16 indeed has the trucha bug. Hopefully it will work. Hear from me soon.
Nope, didn't autoboot at all.

BTW zelda in auto boot crashs at the nunchuck screen does nothing after that

Scrubbed or unscrubbed?

 

[pspmte]

Unscrubbed

Darn ios16 dis not work then

 

[jaimepwnz]

well u said that mario tennis boots right?

If thats the case, then why wont u try patching zelda to run using the same ios as mario tennis uses and then use tp hack to downgrade to 3.2

not sure if changing that makes the disk trucha signed but its worth a shot

hey there pple

i have a wii which is on 3.3e atm..i havnt got starfall installed and do not hav a mod chip...any suggestionz on wat i cud do 2 get my wi bak 2 lifee?

plzzz cud someone tell me a way ov gettin around this...thank u soooooooooo much

 

[pspmte]

u need a mod chip and savemii

Have u got the tp hack still on your system?

you need to auto boot zelda and run wad manager

 

[timwong7899]

i have autoboot zelda tp and modded wiis 3.2u and 3.3u. However i do not have zelda saves on them...all the autoboots iso that i downloaded and burnt doesnt seem to work on this 2 wii....errors and refer to nintendo manual operations always comes out....
however all this autoboot discs does work on un bricked wiis.
i do not have the pink fish disc and savemii.
so how do i got about installing tpsaves onto the bricked wiis.? or is there any autoboot disc out there than can makes these bricked wii into the system recovery mode?

 

[pspmte]

Tim do you have a modchip?

Ok easy one 3.2u we can fix that easy use wad manager Auto boot to fix this
Or wii music and Auto boot that so 3.3u installs on the wii that should get you back up and running
Use the game cube controler to get into recovery mode


Ok now you 3.3u thats bricked, you need to get the wii into recovery mode
Now i put my 3.3e wii as you can read in this thread to 3.4e buy Auto booting Mario Tennis
But you could try to use Auto 3.3v1 from a game AnCrossing ect


Hope you get them fixed

In a few days TT might release BootMii, so anyone will be able to restore it's wii: say goodbye to all brick ^^

 

[xzxero]

so has anyone tried it on a 3.3u system?
or am i gonna have to be the first?

 

[harjitsd]

i have a wii on v3.3e and have a banner brick from installing a bad channel wad.
I have tphack and homebrew channel installed but i have no way of gettin my wii back to life again so far

please could someone helpp meee! thanks in advance (Y)

You sure have Twilighthack still installed? In that case, all you'd need is a modchip and Zelda with autoboot enabled, because 3.3e does not allow to boot trucha signed disks directly. That way you can use twilight hack to start Wad Manager or AnyTitleDeleter from SD, in order to remove that faulty wad. Alternatively, you could twilight hack to install preloader and then use it to start the HBC, enabling you to start other homebrew, too(e.g. Wad Manager).

The method described in this thread is different, though:

Update the Wii to 3.4 with an autoboot- and PAL-patched Mario Tennis Jap. Then it's possible to boot the Wii backup disc via SaveMiiFree and delete all user-related stuff, including faulty channel wads. Your Wii would be semi-brick then, but that's easy to recover from.

I have a black screen at 3.4J, I tried pink fish disc at recovery, the disc spins and the 3.4(JPN) text disappears, the disc continues to spin but all I get is a black screen.
Wii unit is modified with wiikey.

What do you think I can do from here? or can anyone can test if pink fish disc works on your 3.4J

 

[Zolotor]

I still cannot run the pink fish disc. Can anyone on 3.4J please test if it's working?

 

[fellaw]

Does the version in lower right corner disappear, or keeps the disc just spinning all time? Maybe wrong region. Which one did you use? Try to patch the disc to an opposite region(of not already J) using RegionFrii or a Hex Editor(Offset 0x003 as Unicode, see here: http://www.wiibrew.org/wiki/Wiidisc )

I tried 2 patches:
1. Hex edited the line 010E01 to 010J01, then save it as new ISO file, then burn the ISO.
2. Did step 1 above, then run Region Frii and change New Region to JAP, update ISO, then burn resulting ISO.

Both of these patches, gives me a black screen. The version in lower right corner disappear and the disc keeps on spinning.

Should I do another one: something like leave it at 010E01, but just patch it to Japan region using Region Frii?

BTW, just to be sure I am using correct files:
1. Pink Fish ISO CRC32 = 655CA219
2. Pink Fish ISO Hex Edited 010E01 to 010J01, Resulting ISO CRC32 = 554EC5B9
3. Pink Fish ISO created in #2 above, then Region Patched to Japan using Region Frii, Resulting ISO CRC32 = 1DCAE6D8

Can you please verify i patched it correctly or got the correct untouched pink fish iso to begin with.

RegionFrii edits the same byte as you did manually, so it was pretty much useless. Try patching to 010P01 (P=PAL). Reason: The symptom sounds like you've got a PAL TV, not being able to display an NTSC signal. Original pink fish is NTSC, and also your JAP patched version. Are you sure you patched from 010E01? to J? because E isn't listed anywere as valid region code.

Actually running Region Frii does not change the Region ID but rather change the Region Code. Hex Editing it is the only way for me to change the Region ID from 010E01 to 010J01.



These are the steps I did using Region Frii (refer to images above).

1. Image 1: Open Pink Fish ISO via Region Frii v1.21, this image shows Region Frii saying ISO doesn't look like Wii ISO.
2. Image 2: Once the Pink Fish ISO is opened, as you can see the image says Game Code = 010E01 / Region ID = E / Region Code = USA (01)
3. Image 3: Changing Region Code to JAP and update ISO.
4. Image 4: Prompt to change Region Code from USA to Japan
5: Image 5: Once the ISO has been updated to Japan Region Code, re-opening the file now shows,

Region Code = JPN (00) / Region ID = E / Game Code = 010E01

as you can see Region Frii did not change the byte 010E01 to 010J01, it only changes the Region Code and not Region ID.

So hex editing is the only way for me to change the Region ID.

Again, can someone please check if I have the correct Pink Fish ISO to begin with, CRC = 655CA219

Sorry, I fiddeled up the offsets. Nevertheless, the checksums are all ok. Currently I don't have a clue why your patched iso from third step didn't work. It's correct assuming you have a Wii originally being japanese. What modchip do you use?

Btw., I dumped my PAL pink fish again, to review the offsets. I never changed 0x03, only 0x4E000 to have it running on my PAL Wii. Therefore I don't think changing 0x03 is even necessary. Have you tried just patching 0x4E000?

First off, I updated my wii from 3.2u to 4.0u using the tutorial from http://www.yafaze.com/wii/4.0updateguide.html

I have a Wiikey 2 modchip installed so that should allow autobooting.
I can use savemiifrii and its says 4.0 usa on the bottom corner.

I was able to play my trucha signed manhunt 2 before I bricked it.
My wiikey has updates blocked so when i can borrow my friend's wii I can change that.

Is there any possible way I can unbrick my wii?
I can't get any discs to boot at all right now but none of them are configured to autoboot.
I already went through 5 discs on failed attempts.

Any help is greatly apprciated.
