Hacking Help with non-responsive recovery menu

[toolfreak]

Hello, i had a softmodded Wii (using the simplistic mod guide) that worked well for a while. One day i turned on my wii and all i had was a black screen. I was able to get into preloader, from there i got into wad manager and installed Ios7064v6687.wad, then Systemmenu-nus-v481.wad, and then the rest of the IOS that came along in the package to upgrade to 4.2u. (9,11,12,13...60,61). and now i only have the black screen...i can get into the recovery menu, but from there i cannot boot anything, not even original discs. Any ideas that could help? thanks a lot in advance.

what kind of brick could have had the wii that didn't got fixed by installing a systemmenu and all the necesary IOS for it to work? and also, the recovery menu says 4.2 USA...

Well you definitely don't have preloader/priiloader installed anymore because you overwrote it with the new system menu s it was already stated.
The only way to fix this is to use a savemii or the savemii free method along with a modchip and a Brick fixing disc (see my sig).

My personal suggestion to everyone is that in this day n age having just a softmod or just a hard mod is not going to be enough anymore it's better to have both.
I have been using my wiikey v1 along with softmod techniques to insure 100% Compatibility and super brick protection.

I do have a little suggestion on a fix. After you do what I described above you can get the brick fixing disc that boots hbc and use the cIOSCORPS uninstaller app (does not matter if you did not install cioscorps) it will install/overwirite your ios's with the correct ones from Nintendo in one fell swoop and maybe correct your problem. Not a guarantee though!! (ps: ure ios has to be trucha bugged though)

Like i wrote earlier, i accessed wad manager and re installed the systemmenu and all the IOS...and still didnt work...so i wonder what else could be wrong with the wii? i mean, all the other times i had trouble with a brick i fixed them by re installing the systemmenu and the IOS...

maybe...but if the bluetooth module was damaged, would the recovery menu still show up?

Hey...it turns out that the bluetooth module was disconnected from the wii motherboard. I conected it and the wii came back to life. Thanks a lot!
