Hacking ios36 currupt

[giantpune]

did you try booting a game from recovery or maintenance mode? seriously, look at the names of these 2 things! booting a game in recovery mode requires a modchip, but you can try maintenance without any modchip.

Am I the only one thinking that zap284 is just smash_dude (or another troll)? I mean...the story starts out believable, but as soon as a solution starts to come up, mentioned things change just enough so that whatever offered solution doesn't work. At first it was ios36 that didn't work. Then it was "any" ios. First he reinstalled everything. Then he doesn't have the HBC. First he thinks a future firmware will save him...then he changes his mind when people agree with him.

I bet that if we'd send him a fully working and hacked wii, he would manage to screw up the thing while unpacking it.


...and let's not forget some hilarious pieces of attempted geniusity:

-if nobody has any more ideas i might just start programming a virus to wipe it clean... maybe a dos program to import a nand backup which i can probly get somewhere online...
-ive had very limited success with bannerbomb on 4.3 believe it or not...

 

[zap284]

hey cmon now. while i do enjoy trolling. i miss my wii ;_; and i was serious about the virus to wipe it clean! i have a masters in computer programming and ive done it before with older systems... its not that wierd

and yes i know im a complete idiot and screwed up my wii pretty bad... but cmon now. and yeah i do believe 4.4 will save me! it would replace my busted ios with new not screwed up ones... right now im pretty much just waiting for indiana jones from the library... if that doesnt work im pretty much screwed... and yes i was fairly vain to think that bannerbomb on 4.3 would work but i was really close to getting it to work and i thought it might be a chance to save my friggin wii... cmon man. im desperate here. im ready to try pretty much anything xD

also how do i run a game in maintanence mode? ive never heard of that

Once you've finished writing the wii virus, do you think you could help out with finishing DIOS-MIOS and write a Sega Dreamcast Emulator? The scene could do with talent like yours! Where did you get your masters?

Come on. If you can code a virus, you also know how to search.

 

[kylster]

there is a nandformator on filetrip i believe comex makes it as a last resort but this is format everything on your wii.

aaah... i dont have alot of experience with that stuff... quite frankly i dont even know if i could write a virus that would work on the wii. it was just an idea. if i would pursue that idea it would require a ton of research... which im reluctant to do until i see if indiana jones works or not. if it doesnt i might, but otherwise yeah.... as for helping with dios-miossss.... maybe? if it pays i might but if not i really have no interest in it... sorry

Come on. If you can code a virus, you also know how to search.
fair enough. searched and tried it. didnt do anything.

aight ill look into that too. thanks


after feeling like a complete doofus for thinking bannerbomb would work on 4.3 and not realizing i cant do anything until i actually LOAD it... ive done some more research and ive come up with a few more ideas. tell me if these might work and your opinions there of

1) reformatting in a different language
(might replace the busted ios, whichever it might be)

2) copy a preinstalled homebrew channel from an sd card onto my wii
(this is probly my favorite idea at the moment. if its viable could some1 post a preinstalled homebrew channel for me? ^^; theres like none on the internet)

3) hoping indiana pwns will work when i get it tomorrow...
(if it does im good. if not then theres not much more to this idea...)

4) coding a virus to wipe the bad ios, then update the wii which will replace the missing ios
(takes alot of work and im not sure exactly how i would go about loading it... probly more of a last resort)

5) hexing an app to work under a different ios
(i need to find an old any title deleter first :\)
(i cant load it even if i found one and got it working)

6) nand formatter
(how am i expected to load it with no games working to exploit and no bannerbomb because of 4.3?)


so what do you guys think? if none of these work ill probly give up and go to a repair shop

 

[OverjoY]

I would say option 4 coding that virus is your best option and then mail it to your Wii or do you know another way to infect it?
Maybe booting an infected app or enable autoboot for the SD-card will do the trick!

 

[zap284]

or enable autoboot for the SD-card will do the trick!

how do i do that without a loader, preloader, or anything like that?

 

[OverjoY]

Exactly! You'll need to find a way to boot anything before you can think about what you wanna boot and to bad the Wii hasn't an autoboot function on board. (I thought you knew that by now)

Edit:

I mean: Scratch option 4!! You can't infect your Wii if you can't run anything and if you find a way to boot an app you won't need a virus to trash IOS36

Edit 2:

Also scratch options 1 and 2.

 

[zap284]

why option 2? shouldnt that work?

1. No. Format doesnt touch the IOSes.
2. No.. You cant insert a new HBC without being able to run it with exploits in games...
3. No... You already told us no game work, why would Indy work? Its just a game like all others.
4. No.... Simply... NO.
5. No..... You have no apps to edit, and you cant install any.
6. No...... Nand formater demands a exploit in a game to run.... And it should never be used. It has a brick chance and makes your wii loose all your payed games from Shop Channel.

Stop trolling, its boring.

When your console won't work at all it makes sense that someone might be willing to take some losses to get it working again. Don't be rude, the fella just lost his wii.


Install someone else's NAND backup.
Your Wii will become a clone of their Wii.

e: oh wait you can't load stuff that's right!

Mayhaps you can hack together a WAD installer in place of the hackmii installer ISO, install a mod chip to your Wii's drive, and install IOS WADs that way?

 

[giantpune]

assuming this guy is not trolling, what makes you guys think he knows what he is talking about? why do you assume he is right when he says all his IOS are bad? what seems more likely...
1) every single IOS has magically bee broken except the system menu one
2) this asshat has simply broken his system menu so it wont boot games

duh, #2. this is why i say to try booting games from recovery & maintenance modes. and you can go ahead and ignore the "Oll mi IOSez R kurrrubt". unless he specifically did something to mess them up, that simply doesnt happen ( unless you create a 1337 virus to run in Wii's DOS mode or something ).

Dont you need a gc pad for that ?

 

[BBking83]

smashdude made a new account...

 

[zap284]

the hell is wrong with you people. im just trying to fix my wii and you guys keep calling me a troll... if you guys dont want to help or think its impossible than just say so instead of being jackasses. ever heard of "dont feed the troll?"

Mayhaps you can hack together a WAD installer in place of the hackmii installer ISO, install a mod chip to your Wii's drive, and install IOS WADs that way?
i dont like the idea of buying a modchip... blarg... i guess ill look into it

dude. dont be a moron. i told you i already tried using maitenence mode. it did nothing... and yes i know it was stupid but i was updating all sorts of ios with dop mii when the wii was bricked, thats why theyre messed up. i told you all this before if you would actually try reading. its not magic jackass

so when you guys are done flaming maybe you could post an actual suggestion. unless indiana jones works ill probly give up and get it repaired...

 

[icecold]

Its cheaper to buy a new one, Nintendo will find your softmod. ;D

Wait for 4.4 if Indy doesnt work or buy a autobooting modchip.

6. No...... Nand formater demands a exploit in a game to run.... And it should never be used. It has a brick chance and makes your wii loose all your payed games from Shop Channel.

Just to clarify:

I´ve used Comex Nand Formatter on my wii bootmii@boot2, dumped setting.txt file from nand, formatted and installed everything from the scratch using sm41.wad (System Menu), and succesfully could re-download all my games i´ve bought before right from Wii Shop Channel.

-

Now on topic:

You obviously aren´t a coder. You might know that in order to run a app you must have the 'bridge enabled', which can be exploits, bypass checks, buffer offset reloads, etc-

Be sure you get first a modchip, then try to run games from maintenance mode (4-pad button pressed once, using a Retail Nintendo Gamecube Controller connected at 4P, while turning your wii on)

Your chances now are probably: see if you ever had bootmii@boot2, or get Yugioh SD, or a modchip.

Don´t even think about NAND reprogramming.

i didnt
yugioh is pal wiis only. mine is ntsc-u
i dont have any money

i finally got a foothold to work with i think!

i got the pressing the dpad on my gc controller to work. it shows my firmware version when it boots... so what exactly can i do with this? ive googled around and all i see is people saying to get a newer game and it will update your firmware... can i do this with kirby epic yarn and reinstall 4.3? maybe get an out of region game and get that firmware?... i dunno what to do with this new foothold xD

i sifted through all the idea people posted and only these would really have a chance at working...
1) wait for 4.4
2) indiana jones might work
3) anything involving money. (buying a modchip, buying a savemii, etc.)
