Homebrew Help! I think my wii bricked

[Servdogg]

I would not be personally inclined to leech off your neighbors wireless when using any region changer, ios downgrader, or wanin's 4.0 updater. If you get disconnected at the wrong time during these installs, I'm pretty sure you could brick. So better to do with a reliable connection. If you can get a hold of the wad for your system menu, installing that may fix your problem.

Have you tried to install the wad with wad manager 1.3?

Yeah I did, but when I boot up wadmanager it asks me to press A, when I do that on my gc controller nothing happens.

I guess in your situation, you might need a fresh firmware to do anything. You did say you can use bootmii right. You could try to run wanin's 4.0 updater (on your neighbors) and see if that fixes your problem. Even if it bricks, you should be able to restore the nand of your bricked wii to the state it's in now. So you'd be right where you started. No harm done.

Yes, only 1 problem. I need to setup that connection...

You might be screwed. In order to restore your wii you need either a) a backup of your wii's nand in a functional state, b) the ability to install wads to reinstall your system menu, or c) the ability to connect online to upgrade/downgrade.

You can't do a) because you made a backup of your wii's nand after it was already bricked. You can't do b) because you can't navigate the wad manager menu's without working wiimotes. You can't do c) because you need to set up a new connection, but cannot because you can't access the system menu.

You could try to get a different router and hook it up at your house. I'm not sure if a new connection will be needed to be set up, but it might work if you just plug it in like your old one. If you can't restore your nand, install wads, or connect online, I don't see how anyone could fix your wii.

What exactly did you do to brick your wii?

remove ios? remove system menu?

I'm sure wad manager can be compiled easily to support gc controllers...

 

[Servdogg]

It's already been compiled. Search for Wad Manager 1.4 Wii Ninja mod 2.

I repaired my router. I dont even know how I bricked my wii because I didnt install any wads, the only thing I did with my softmodded wii was installing apps in HBC using homebrew browser. That wadmanager 1.4 ninja mod thingy worked fine with gc controller, I just need to know how to (re)install system menu 4.0...

Btw is it true that 4.1 is released in euro and usa? If I could install that by wads, it might solve my problem... does anyone know about that wad?
