Hacking ios36 currupt

[zap284]

so yeah. my dumb brother updated to 4.3 which of course wiped all my custom stuff. all the ios, homebrew channel, preloaders, everything. gone... now this is where i failed. i had started to reinstall everything i lost. after a while i had most of it back... but i couldnt get coverfloader to work. i needed a trucha bugged ios36... so i installed one i found online... next thing i know my wii wont do anything. it wont load games, it wont load homebrew, and i cant load dol or elf files from the sd card menu (it gives me error #004)

yes i looked up all the obvious fixes such as reinstalling ios36, updating, and reformatting.
they either dont work or i cant try any of them because i have no way of loading anything...
so right now my wii is kinda semi bricked. i can do stuff in the system menu... but nothing else. it always either restarts my wii or gives me the black screen of death... and yes. i tried the black screen fix

i just need a way to run SOMETHING so i can start trying things again...
does anyone know how to flash a wii? that might work.
i know i can fix it myself once i get my homebrew channel back.

for future reference, i dont have the money for a modchip, my system menu is 4.3, and its ntsc-u
any ideas and suggestions are more than welcome. please help

So, your on 4.3 without Homebrew Channel and you cant run games to rehack it?
Do you have Bootmii/boot2? Do you have a Bootmii backup?

like i said. the update removed all traces of homebrew except the ios of course...
i guess ill try installing it. most likely ill get the #004 error

Yes, but did you do a NAND backup with Modmii before this?

 

[zap284]

no i did not...

also the attempt to install bootmii was a failure

Do you or your friends have any games on this list? (RETAIL NTSC-U)

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's
LEGO Indiana Jones
Super Smash Brothers Brawl

 

[zap284]

Does it still work on your wii? Its like your last chance....

 

[zap284]

nope. as previously stated my ios36 is corrupt and im unable to run games or apps. im not exactly looking for a quick fix here... i was more looking for a way to restore a nand backup or run an app without using system files, which are corrupted...

i really dont know. im desperate >_<

and dont say its bricked cuz its not. as a last resort i wait until 4.4 comes out or bannerbomb works on 4.3

Diffrent games uses diffrent IOSes.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl uses IOS36.. that you corrupted.

Can you get your hands on another game in the list?

4.4 might fix it, bannerbomb is closed.

 

[zap284]

iso versions? easily... but im guessing you mean retail versions... i dont like the idea of spending money but yeah. i can rent em from blockbuster or something.

your saying other games should work because only my ios36 is corrupt and not the others?... makes sense. ill go try some other games and report the results to make sure it has a chance of working before i spend money

EDIT: yeah most games worked just fine... i guess now i have to go rent lego indiana jones or something eh? hahaha. well thanks for the help. ill head to blockbuster this weekend

Please try to use the guides here next time so you dont end up in a discusion with me.

First, THERE IS A CHANCE. I remember I had some same problem.

Clear the System Memory trough the options in the wii menu. That help, first try to update that may work...

So, non of your games work ? Its not just IOS36 thats corrupted then.

Have fun waiting for 4.4 or 5.0.

well hey now. im not giving up just yet... can i do anything with a burned cd or something? maybe theres a dos prgram i could put on my sd card or flash drive.

just some way to downgrade a system menu might do the trick
