Well, I guess I bricked my wii while using USB Loader GX,
I installed Wii Sports on my HDD, selected play, then, I think it might have accidentally the whole wii.
When I press the power button it boots to black screen, then, nothing
can't seem to sync my remote but can boot the wii from the power button on the wii remote
Wii was on 4.1 or 4.2 U
I did have bootmii on boot2, so i guess the wii could be saved? if so, HOW?
also, priiloader was installed, not sure how to fix my problem!

could anyone help me ? THANKS

Can you boot priiloader when you hold the reset button when turning on the wii? If yes, which IOS is priiloader using?

Try putting an SD card with the bootmii boot files on it (If you don't have them on your computer at least somewhere you're an idiot) and see whether Bootmii boots. If it does and you have a NAND backup just restore

OK... please insert your sd card to your PC, go to the bootmii folder and open bootmii.ini. Now change from "AUTOBOOT=SYSMENU" to "AUTOBOOT=HBC" and save the file. Reinstert the SD Card and start the wii again.

put the bootmii folder u got when u installed bootmii onto the sd card and turn on the wii, it should take u to the bootmii menu.

If u are missing these files/folder, run the Bootmii configurator in NUS Auto Downloader (see my signature), and it will build it for you

If you can access bootmii, u will be fine, otherwise u may need to use infectus

OK... you also have a bootmii.ini file now? If yes, open it and REMOVE the lines "AUTOBOOT=" and "BOOTDELAY=" save the file, reinstert the sd card and start the wii again.

You need to have the bootmii folder on the sd card root. In the folder should be armboot.bin, ppcboot.elf and bootmii.ini. To make everything sure delete the contents of the bootmii.ini and only insert:

Save the file, reinsert sd card and start the wii.
