I'm thinking of replacing my theme on my wii. I know somewhat of what to do. but i'm just curious of what kind of brick i could get and how to recover from it. I have preloader installed. im on 3.2(U) with hbc. any help appreciated.
ahem...DeadlyFoez said:wolffangalchemist said:install bootmii as boot2 if you can (if not ios install will work too) and make a back up of your nand.
then you will be completely brick safe as far as custom themes are involved.
Dude, you fail to mention (or did not know better), that installing bootmii as boot2 or as an ios is a HUGE difference and will not "work too" is something catastrophic happens. There is an ios (I forget which one) but if you lose that then you ARE screwed if you can only install bootmii as an ios. With bootmii if you install as an ios, then yes you can back up your nand, but you cannot restore your nand especially if that certain ios is missing or corrupted. As far as I know, noone has attempted to try the restore nand function when bootmii is installed as an ios. Many have tried with bootmii installed as boot2 and it works great, but I would not attempt trying it installed as an ios.
I guess whats important to the OP first is if he can install bootmii on the boot2.
To the OP, if you can't install bootmii as a boot2 option, then dont mess with anything else other than things that are WELL documented and you have had the time to read other peoples situations to make sure you dont kill your wii.
You should be fine with that. One small note though. 3.2 themes and 4.0 themes are separate. Trying to install one on the other could very well corrupt your system menu. Make sure you know which is which, and if the one you want is on 4.0, be sure to use Waninkoko's firmware updater to update to 4.0.elmachin said:thank you all for your input. to respond to DeadlyFoez here's what i got

I still don't get why people just do things, before they inform themself WHAT they are doing....I always read up first...how this works, etc...it's better to know what you're doing...elmachin said:is it possible to just go back to the original theme that comes with the wii? or once i change the theme i can never go back?
