Hacking [Help]Installed wrong system menu wad

[acrodex]

Hi all, I am wondering if someone can give me advice how to recover my Wii
I have a Wii with sytem menu 3.2U and I followed the "Modify /aNY Wii 4.3 & below" guide to upgrade it to 4.2U.
However, I accidentcally used the europe version file, namely, I installed System Menu-NUS-v482.wad instead of v481.wad
Now I semi brick it. I still can boot and get into HBC, but I can not access Wii setting menu (opera error)
I have bootmii installed as boot2 but there is no nand backup.

Is there anyway I can restore it to US version?

Thank you very much!

Let me preface this by saying I have no idea about stuff when it comes to bricks, but the obvious thing to try, would be to install the correct system menu with MMM.

You have a few ways of dealing with this, but there is only one workable way that I am aware of.

First off, before you do ANYTHING else, make a nand backup NOW!!!

Second, if you can not access HBC via BootMii, then Comex's nand formatter can definitely fix it.

The nand formatter will erase all of your saved games and anythign else installed (actually EVERYTHING else installed), but as long as you have the nand backup then you are able to retrieve your saved games from the backup and then put them back in place after the format.

It is risky, but as long as you have bootmii in boot2 and a nand backup then you have nothing to lose.

If you want more info on the formatter then ask, otherwise I wont bother posting all the info here.

That is the error I figured it would give (title with higher version already installed). Either of the below should work.

Go ahead and continue with the modify section, afterwards, copy over the correct update files, and try to install the system menu wad again with the wad manager inside MMM.

You can try dop-mii. I know it gives you an option to downgrade system menus, so I don't see why it wouldn't let you.

Error 1035 happens when you try to downgrade a titile useing an ios that does not have the proper patch. You should not have this error using cios249. What ios are you using when installing the wad?

You should install IOS60v6174 and then 4.1U.

Do it in that order and don't do anything else. If you do anything else there is a very good chance for you to brick your Wii.

Hey guys. I'm trying to update my 3.2U to 4.2. I'm having a little trouble though so maybe someone here can help me. Here's my issue. I'm following these instructions:
____________________________________________________________________
Update to 4.2
Run Multi-Mod Manager from the Homebrew Channel.
*Really important stuff here! Do not skip or alter steps in any way!*
While on the main menu, press right to go to WAD manager then press 1.
You should see IOS70-64-v6687.wad and System Menu-NUS-v48x.wad (NTSC-J = 480; NTSC = 481; PAL = 482).
Press A to install. Then press any button when finished.
Now go down to Other and press A. Then press 1.
It should say Selected 23 for installation.. press A to install.
*End.*
____________________________________________________________________

The problem is that when I go to install IOS70-64-v6687.wad and System Menu-NUS-v481.wad they both tell me that 1 file was not installed, and when I then go to install the 23 wad files in the "Other" folder only the last 4 wads install while the first 19 remain uninstalled, leaving my firmware unaltered. Does anybody have any suggestions?

Basically I'm having the same problem as acrodex. I see the same error message for the first 2 wads:

Installing 1/1: System Menu-NUS-v481.wad - Title (-1035)
Final Status = 1 did not complete.

I downloaded dop-mii like burritoboy9984 suggested but I'm not sure how to use it. Can someone please explain a little better what I should do? Thanks in advance.
