Its normal.

When bootmii beta 1 came out they said that you could have up to 80 bad blocks and its normal.Nothing you can do about it.

I have 1 bad block

Ok I cody'd the NAND but I want to use this guide:

http://followingrevolution.com/guide/version32/yes.htm

instead of the one you posted (because I already installed everything) I just wanted to make sure it would work...

I just realy don't want to screw up anything...

 

[Quinn95]

Anyone?

Since you seem to have bootmii now installed to boot2 with a nand backup of your current state you CAN'T possibly screw anything up beyond recovery. Just go for it. If something does go wrong and corrupts your system menu or something you will still be able to load up bootmii on startup and do a nand recovery with that nand.bin file you have by clicking the fourth icon on the first bootmii screen and then the second icon on the next page.

ok so say a person installed bootmii JUST IOS...then bricked and had NOT installed preloader ect....How do you actually LOAD the bootmii menu from a bricked wii without installing to boot2....can it even be done ( I mean is there buttons to be held to do this? or?) i am just curious about newer wii's i mod for friends..I want to be able to clearly explain how to use this ect....

I have made a nand.bin NP 1 errored block ect but how do you get to the homebrew channel TO LOAD THE BOOTMII MENU from a bricked wii Without preloader or starfall or a autoboot disc...some way to read a DOL on a bricked console WITH BOOTMII...?!!!

Is it possible to make bootmii like preloader but WITHOUT ACTUALLY HAVING TO SETUP BOTH..

To me this would seem like a logical way for bootmii to function why not have the option to "hold home on wiimote while booting to load bootmii from IOS254 or whatever it was Wiipower said it installs to....can we make an app for this pourpose? by studying the WAD file of the homebrew channel DOL that contains the actual Bootmii loader?

bootmii is made to be installed to boot2. if you cant install to boot2, then bad luck. you can install as an ios, but (for the moment), its little more than a novelty. if you dont/cant install bootmii as boot2, then you have little to no brick protection. sure you can use it as a backup, but its no good if you brick. eg. if you are on 3.2 and want to upgrade to 4.0, but then decide you want to go back to 3.2, you can reload your nand backup with bootmii, but if you brick your wii, you cant get into the system menu, therefore unless you have something like preloader to boot into hbc, youre fucked. and even with preloader, you can still fully brick your wii if you remove every ios.
