Hi there everybody,
I want to apologize in advance if this question has been asked before - I searched high and low across google to find something that could maybe assist me with this, but to no avail.
Basically, as the title of the thread implies, I want to make my 4.3U Wii back into a clean, mod-free state - or back into a virgin. I didn't really want to hack it initially, but when I sent in my Wii to get repairs, I was unfortunately unable to retrieve some of my old virtual console games that I had bought for it, so I modded it so I could install some VC wads of the games I lost.
I did this about 1.5 years ago, so I don't remember what I installed. I'm thinking it was probably just the Homebrew Channel, and the WAD manager (or whatever app you need to install VC wads). The method I used to install it was the letter-bomb method (at least I think that's what it's called) where the installation is sent done through receiving a letter on the Wii Message Board.
Anyway, I won't go into detail, but I would really like to make my Wii a virgin again - that is not have any trace of mods or anything. I know I'll lose the virtual console WADs I installed, but it's worth it at this point. If there's any simple way to do this, through formatting, updating the system, etc, I would be immensely appreciative to anyone who could help me. I should say I no longer have the capability to access to the apps homebrew channel(I'm still able to open it, just not do anything), as the SD card I used to install it originally is long gone, and I no longer have a method in which I could write mods to a new SD card. So, if there is a way to restore my Wii back to it's factory state via some other method, that'd be great to know!
Again, thanks so much in advance to any help I receive.
