Does it matter when you backup the nand.bin ? If you backup the NAND during the softmodding or like 10 days after, would the nand.bins be identical ?
Hacking Is there a way to verify that BootMii is installed as boot2 and IOS ?

Does it matter when you backup the nand.bin ? If you backup the NAND during the softmodding or like 10 days after, would the nand.bins be identical ?
not likely, especially if you played the system.
From the Description:
This is a command line tool. Copy your nand.bin into the same directory as the EXE and hold SHIFT while right clicking in the folder and selecting "Open Command Prompt Here". Then type:
nandBinCheck.exe nand.bin
and the NAND will be checked.
Followed by:
First the boot1 and boot2 are checked - on a Wii with BootMii in boot2 the message "Content Sha1 matches TMD" appears here, this is normal.
Next, the installed titles are checked (from the so-called uid.sys). Messages like "Ticket fakesigned" and "TMD fakesigned" are normal. In some cases the message "tmd RSA signature isn't even close" is also normal, e.g. with the system menu (00000001-00000002) or with custom channels. The message "NandBin::ItemFromPath ->item not found" only indicates that the channel in question was once installed, but was deleted again.
After that follows the setting.txt, which contains among other things the serial number of the Wii and the region. Important is the message "system menu resource matches setting.txt AREA setting."
This is followed by a cross-check to see if all the titles listed in uid.sys are installed. Messages like "was installed at the factory and is now missing" and "XY titles were installed before any user intervention" are normal here, as are messages about missing tickets and TMDs - this refers to deleted channels.
Now the final, important checks. The following messages should show up here:
"found 0 lost clusters"
"0 files had bad HMAC data"
"0 superClusters had bad HMAC data".
Messages about incorrect ECC blocks are normal, as long as there are not very many.
As long as there are no errors at the end, the dump is correct.

Honestly,I have no idea.
I have tried it with an clean NAND Backup and got no Errors.Only 2 bad Blocks.
Windows 10 x64 by the Way.

What command did you use to run it ?
Try to get rid or -all argument, and let it output to your terminal, not nand.log. just type nandBinCheck very-first-nand.bin and see how it works out.
BootMii also does check NAND backup when it gets created, It verifies the backup after It's been created. most of the time, It is fairly reliable.
In case you're not sure, you use NAND backups in situations where your wii is messed up so bad that you can't even try to fix. It's like making a Ghost image to recover your PC later with it- You usually make the backup after you freshly set up your hombrew system. but your system's status doesn't matter- You can make them after already messing up with it. As long as it wasn't bricked, backup is useful.
NAND will change, since it logs your playtime and stuffs and games will make saves to your NAND. but It doesn't matter since NAND getting changed doesn't mean your NAND backup is getting obsolete or unable to be used anymore. You just make a backup, keep it safe, and use it to start over when your Wii got bricked or something.

Good Morning.
I have opened a Command Prompt and run it with
nandBinCheck.exe nand.bin
Tested it again,same Result - 2 Bad Blocks (that is not unusal,completely normal).

2 things to note, first this: "Qt: Untested Windows version 6.2 detected!"
Second, make sure you have everything saved in a simple path. If u have special characters or something it sometimes gives errors with some tools (although I feel like giantpune's tools would be immune to such things)

Failed to load keys (otp.bin/keys.bin)
"Error setting path to nand object"Aha, now I see the problem- you didn't put keys.bin file in the directory.
Remember, They always go along. Wii's NAND is encrpyted with unique-per-unit secret key, and BootMii dumps it alongside your NAND. It's called keys.bin, and without it, your NAND dump is just 512mb of garbage values.
apologize, I didn't see that.
At this point I have to ask: Would you mind sharing it? It works on either alexander's machine, and my machine. It could be something went wrong with either your system or nand dump.
EDIT: before doing so, just one more suggestion. try to put the absolute path to your nand, not relative. I think the tool might be having a problem resolving it, still don't know why though.
