I've got an old Wii which only gives a black screen when turnt on, I've tried to change both the bluetooth module aswell as the Wifi. The wii was broken when I bought it so really this is just to test if I could fix it via the hardmod.

So my last idea to fix this wii is by taking advantage of my other Boot2 BootMii Compatible wii. Since Boot2 is stored without per-console encryption on the nand you can hardware flash another wiis boot2 aslong as the boot1 Version is the same. (Otherwise the hash of boot1 wont check out).

On the software side I've got most of the things figured out, however I'm still unsure about some software on the computer during the dumping.
From the start i figured I would use a guide stated on hacksden, however I soon found problems with it, first of all, the guide stated using an Infectus as NANDprogrammer, and yes I can buy an infectus that's not the problem, however almost all the software links are dead, and without them, well the entire Idea fails.

Then I got a new idea, based on the wii u nand dumping using a Teensy 2++, the methode is also used on the ps3 so it's a well tested methode. But... There are no guides on using A teensy on a wii, so my question here, it might sound stupid but does anyone know if I can use the pyhton nanddumping file given by the Kafluke's unbrick tutorial for Wii U for my Wii Aswell, or is that a nono? Since I know very little of the PC nand dumping part this is the last step I need to know before proceding with my experiment. @Kafluke @Leeful Perhaps anyone of you have an Idéa?

Many thanks for reading! Also I didn't really know where to place this thread, hacking or Hardware.

Honestly I just put together the guide. I purposefully bricked my Wii U so I could unbrick it and write a guide. I don't understand most of the development work. It was @EyeKey that wrote all the tools. Maybe he can advise

Oh okay, anyway, my real wonder is really just the python script, NANDway.py. If that is like nand specific or not, that's where I am today. The soldering part is from all the information I've managed to gather, is just a basic TSOP 48 chip, so the wiring will be quite similiar to that of the Wii U wiring, Except for RB2 and CE2 since they're specific for the wii U. Anyway thanks for pointing me to the right person
