Hi, pls your help.
I received a brand new Wii at V3.3 so i started with:
1.- Bannerbomb and installed Homebrew Channel (latest), could not install BootMii as boot2, and i didnt install as IOS either.
2.- Then used TBR to patch IOS36 (didnet need to downgrade IOS15
3.- HomebewChannel (upside down) but any way i managed to run Wanin Upgrader to 4.0 (ended fine)
4.- Started Wii and runned Bannerbomb aging so i installed Homebrew Channel againg (on top of IOS61) and now it was normal again.
5.- Used wanin Updater towards 4.1 and ended fine.
6.- Everything was OK and installed IOS 249, 222 and 223 , everything fine again.
7.- Used IOS60 Upgrader and used Options No for Installing 61, Yes for IOS60 Patch IOS60 and No for Shop Channel. ended fine
8.- back to Homebre Channel and now selected to install Preloader 0.29
9.- Preloader installation ended fine.... BUT it just hang when supposed to reboot in 5 seconds...never did

I turn the Wii Off and it has never come back again just the black screen of dead, Hitting reset does not work either...

I guess but i am not totally sure that IOS60 Upgrader bring me the STUB IOS60 and that killed me.

Any ideas pls.
Any means of recovering?

I think you bricked your wii the same way i bricked my old one. Im pretty sure you were meant to install preloader, then install IOS60, then install preloader again. i remember i said theres no point doing that, and installed ios60 first and then bricked after preloader installed. i'm not sure though dont take my word for it, but im pretty sure your wii is gone.

yea, you were supposed to install preloader, then IOS60, then when you rebooted it would have said "system menu corrupted" this is where you would have rebooted into preloader and reinstalled preloader

if your system menu gets corrupted ie from a bad wad file, you can still get into preloader by holding reset on boot, its good brick protection but by all means not a guarantee...bootmii is the way but like you said and I'm in the same boat, you can't install to boot2...

Just curious, but why do you have to install prelaoder first? What does do to prevent the brick?
Click to expand...

I suppose installing preloader before IOS60 helps because it attaches itself to the SM and in this case you can still activate it via reset...

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s

  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot

    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
