So is there any way at all to fix my semi bricked Wii or am I a lost hope. All I have on my Wii is the Boot2 or whatever that activates on startup and in the Homebrew channel I just have the stuff you told me to put on there throughout the guide.
at least I'm not the only one
I'll try it and let you know if it worked

yea it shouldve worked since the guide uses the v3 of hackmii installer

i need to update that.

but anyways you should use the new hackmii installer to update bootmii and make a new nand backup.

After doing the part 1a] it says succes but its not downgraded and when I try to do this

1b] Run Trucha Bug Restorer
Choose IOS15 and press A. (Important)
Wait till it says Press 1 then press it.
Choose IOS36 menu. In there use these settings:
Install IOS to slot (36)
Hash check (trucha) YES
ES_Identity YES
Nand Permissions YES
Then press A on install patched IOS36.
Everytime it says "load IOS from SD", press right twice to make it say "load IOS from NUS" then press A

Doesnt work. Any help? also it freezes many times when Im trying to instal something .is that fine?

Still can do the step 1b]. after the step 1a it says the it was downgraded but then when I do the step 1b at the end it says

ES_AddtitleStart returned: -2011
You need to use an IOS with truxha bug.
That's what the IOS15 downgrade is good for...
IOS36 Intsallation failed.
Press any button to exit.
Is it because I have the 4.1?

Any help here?

Nevermind. please someone punch me. I was putting IOS35 all the time not 15:blink:

you sure your do this correct?

the first time you run TBR, you choose "no IOS reload"
the second time you run TBR, you choose "IOS 15"
the third time you run TBR, you choose "IOS 36"

sounds like you didnt choose either no IOS reload or IOS 15 on one of those steps.
