Is it a semi-brick? Case that settings can not be accessed but otherwise fine.

 

[SaQr]

Use app called anyregionchanger and update to 3.3J. Then, use the anyregionchanger again to get back to 3.2J.

 

[SaQr]

could u please explain more into details?
where can i find this application? and how would i know the number of the update?

 

[skawo96]

1. Get Homebrew Channel
2. Get Any Region Changer

Select to "downgrade" to 3.3J.
It will unsemibrick your Wii.
Then select to "downgrade" to 3.2J.

Yes.
Do you have a SD card reader? (You have to connect it to PC)

 

[SaQr]

actually its micro SD but i've got the SD adapter and a memory reader and its already attached to the pc ..

 

[skawo96]

So then...what are you waiting for? Download HBC JAP iso, burn it to DVD and put in your Wii.
Unless...you have 3.3 firmware...but now how will you check it

 

[SaQr]

ok ok

#1 how could i check which firmware my wii has?
#2 its still unclear to me, but shall i make a folder called apps in the SD card and put the wii load folder which i found in the homebrew file in it?

thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks for ur pacience man!

 

[skawo96]

ok ok

#1 how could i check which firmware my wii has? Well actually you can't now. How long ago did you update?
#2 its still unclear to me, but shall i make a folder called apps in the SD card and put the wii load folder which i found in the homebrew file in it? Yes. Root of SD card/apps/geckoos/*dol or elf file here*

thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks for ur pacience man!

Or damn. Do you have a backup or legit copy of Zelda TP?

 

[SaQr]

Dude, the best way to fix semi bricks is by using semi brick fix discs

just google semi brick fix, get the update of your region and burn it, boot the disc and it will update.

He have 3.2 firmware already, so disc will do a diddly squat.

and why do i need SD memory card n what should i put it it?

 

[SaQr]

The semi brick fix disk dont need an SD card. All you need to do is get your region update and burn it with the iso....i think
