hey guys recently i found out how to use wads use backups and all that type of stuff. After i got done putting some wads on my wii, an error message would come up about 2 minutes after each time i turned my power on. After trying to fix it, I got a message saying my wii had lost system files and now it does not work! Every time i turn on my wii it shows the same message but now its really scrambled so you can't even read the message....does anyone have any suggestions on what to do??? I tried the gamecube controller thingy but it didn't work...either cause i dont have what i need on my sd card or cause im using a wireless gc controller to do it....HELLLLPPP

thats a banner brick. You probably installed a bad .wad file.

do you have preloader or bootmii? What system menu do you have?

And, how did you try to fix it?


Oh yeah, and the recovery mode (the "gamecube controller thingy") only works with a wired gamecube controller.

More info please. What wads did you install or uninstall? Can you still boot at all to the system menu? Can you get into homebrew channel? Do you have preloader installed? Or bootmii with a nand backup?

You have BootMii? As boot v2? and Preloader?

Simple:

-Turn on your Wii
-Hold immediately Reset
-Go to HBC
-Go to WAD manager
-Delete the Wads you've installed (but please only Channels)

1. turn wii on either hold reset and get to preloader, boot HBC or Wadmanager, uninstall .wad file that killed your Wii SOLVED

2. use bootmii to get to HBC and do same SOLVED.

the wads i did install were mostly n64 like super smash bros., pokemon snap, cruisin usa, mario kart 64 etc

If realy all .wads were only VC/WiiWare games, then do it like above said...

You dont have to turn it on and press reset, You can just hold reset and press on until the menu shows up

then reinstall your system menu, get hold of SystemMenuv289.wad i believe is 3.2U i know v290 is PAL.

and reinstall with WADManager if that doesnt work , you can use Mod5a of AnyRegionChanger that will reinstall 3.2 and all associated IOS's.

also a offline version in MiiWii pack.

Hold reset immeadiately after booting up the wii to boot into preloader. Once preloader boots up it should say "IOS v60" and "Systemmenu v417" in the lower left corner. See if your wii says these things too and report the findings.

if it doesnt say IOSv60 on the bottom left of preloader, then go to settings and change the IOS version to 60 and press save settings. Press b to return to preloaders main menu and press A on system menu. it should work.

have you ran IOS Downgrader or trucha bug restorer before? if you havent, load one of them from the homebrew channel.

after its done (make sure theres no errors. if there are, do it again) get AnyRegion Changer from wiibrew.org and load it. According to your region, install system menu 3.2 and press go. It should say USA above if you have a ntsc wii.

wii should work again.

(note: you need internet for these!)
