You wouldn't happen to be the person from the craigslist ad asking for help, would you? Something tells me you are.

 

[kaitlin459]

its version 4.3u

i did look at modmii i even downloaded the installer from the mod mii site i just dont wanna brick my wii im new to the wii modding scene modding a wii for me is different than modding an original xbox

 

[Thomas83Lin]

Using ModMii is the preferred way, so you will be fine using that.

 

[kaitlin459]

what are the chances ill brick my wii using mod mii

 

[C_o_d_y_]

If you're so worried about bricking it, even though it is hard to do unintentionally, take a look at what Preloader does. I'm pretty sure ModMii installs it by default.
What Preloader does is load before the Wii's operating system. This allows you to restore the NAND (the Wii's operating stuff) should anything ever go wrong. You'll have to backup the NAND first, and that should be one of the steps of ModMii.

use modmii and use the wizard in it it will give you a guide to follow it is easy to do so you will be fine

There is no way to brick Wii with the ModMii program. And system version is no matter. Just read carefully directions ModMii is give and you are okay.

"Wiibrand"

Basically this is what I did when I bought one last year:

Updated my Wii to 4.3
Installed HBC via LetterBomb
Installed Priiloader
Used BootMii to backup the NAND

Once you get to the BootMii screen you're kinda homefree once you've got your NAND backed up. Very unlikely to brick your Wii really unless you go installing WADs or messing with the iOS but that comes after backing up the NAND.

how do i back up my NAND and where on my SD card do i put my NAND

 

[kaitlin459]

ok i compleeted the modmii installer and i saved all the files it created and or downloaded to a single empty folder on my desktop now do i put the folders and files it screated onto my 2 gig sd card or what im confused the custome tut mod mii created doesnt tell me where to put thoes files that the mod mii wizard created

it told you as you went through the installer, by default it told you what where SD card files and if you selected to option what where HDD file, for someone so worried about bricking you seem to fail at reading instructions ModMii tells you

try this tutorial! it's what i did to softmod my wii.

also, you want to install bootmii as boot2 (if you can, sometimes it will not let you) as it will help with any possible future bricks. after you do that, get priiloader, it will also help with any future bricks, plus backup your NAND and keep it in a safe place.
