Hacking i BRICKED my wii

[Einherion]

Hello Amazing GBATEMP community.

i managed to brick my wii last night using Yet another mod manager(?). i was under manage priiloader, which i thought i had installed, but didnt due to an error in patching ios56.

in the mod manager, whose specific name i cant remember but can look up as soon as i get my hands on the sd card (at gfs place, i was under manage priiloader, which had 3 options, i chose option number 2.

now my wii is bricked. however i do have preloader installed. how do i go from here/ what info do i also need to include?


thank you so much for your time and i am eagerly awaiting your response.


(its only half my wii, mine and my gfs, we paid half and half... so i really need to fix this)

Hold RESET on wiiboot.
Go Launch Title -> Homebrew Channel
Run Wad Manager and install IOS70-64-v6687.wad and System Menu-NUS-v48x.wad (NTSC-J = 480; NTSC = 481; PAL = 482)
When you boot back into the homebrew channel install priiloader

Normally it's the HBC option that stops working, by telling it to launch a title and then selecting HBC it then works.
You could just try running wad manager from preloader though.

oh mine auto boots to PREloader. thats why i never hold down reset.

okay, so i couldnt get to either homebrew channel or anything from preloader. my only options are:

system menu: obviously doesnt work or i wouldnt be here

homebrew channel: doesnt do anything, comes up with error message. let me know if you need to know what it says.

installed file; didnt do anything, error message i think (idr)

load installed file: this brings up boot.dol i think and some other thing.. dont know what either of them are. i guess they are on my sd card.

system menu hacks: this works but doesnt seem to be helpful.

settings: also works but doesnt seem useful.




so what do i do now. and please talk like i dont knwo what im doing.

thanks.
i have my wii in my room. and thanks to everyone for their time and advice. i really do appreciate it.

Ein.

if you CAN boot a boot.dol, grab the dop-mii v13 boot.dol and throw it in the root directory, launch it, and use it to install a system menu (assuming you have a wifi connection).

The launch title option is in Priiloader v0.4+

Load a wad manager .dol and install the wads (offline) or use DOP-mii .dol to install them (wifi on wii).

Load/Install file -> Press 1

would you please elaborate.


dop-mii v13? where can i get this? and will i also need a system menu already downloaded? i cant get online with my wii on campus. but i can if i go off campus, but that severely limits my resources. what all do i need before i trek to a friends place?

 

[dn_angel000]

DOP-Mii v13 can either b downloaded here of FileTrip!! lol U can down the SM WAD at the We Hack Wii site and also make sure u also get the SM IOS and the correct version as well or u will brick!

 

[Einherion]

Again, thanks for your time and info.

What if for some reason, Priiloader refuses to load?

If you don't have bootmii as boot2...you're in trouble.

 

[RyuKisargi]

I'm pretty sure I have Bootmii as Boot 2 as well.

I remember setting it to that when I first modded my Wii.

There's no USB key or something that can just say "HEY START"

 

[HBK]

Alright, can you try booting into that and seeing if it works? You need a NAND backup to restore though.

 

[RyuKisargi]

How do I boot into that?

I know holding the reset button when powering on is supposed to load you into Priiloader, at least, that's what it does for me.

It's not loading Priiloader, however.

And I might have one, if not, they're findable, right?

Unfortunately, if findable means Googling and downloading a NAND dump, that is not possible. Each Wii is unique in terms of NAND dumps.
