I can only sync remotes @ the official Wii Menu. I navigate preloader to the wii menu using a GC controller, then sync remotes @ the wii menu

 

Could you tell us how you bricked your Wii?

edit: Well i'll give aquick guess going off of your recent post sense i'm logging off
to me it sounds like you've removed your setting.txt

try running http://wiibrew.org/wiki/System_Setting_Replace_Mod and re-install you're setting.txt after installing it if your wii still isn't fixed try then re-installing your system menu IOS and the system menu
starting with its IOS, remember if your only using preloader and not bootmii then re-installing your system menu will remove preloader and could leave you completely bricked if this doesn't fix it

 

IOS249 has absolutely nothing to do with The Homebrew Channel.

The Homebrew Channel is compatible with gamecube controllers.

What IOS are you choosing for the installer?

 

are u using any "attachments" on the Wiimote, like chargeable batteries or something?

 

Do you have a second wii wiimote to try i had a wiimote that when i went into HBC the hand would go upside down and go oppisite way to what you pointed it (and yes the HBC channel was not upside down) the wiimote was buggered

 

Both the wii remotes that I have do not wok on the channel. Thanks for your suggestion anyway.

 

its the huge letters in my sig
how can you miss it?

 

I have the same problem as shaq. I was running 4.1U and tried to install cIOS53-trucha.wad via Wadmanager 1.5. I haven't used my wii for months, and couldn't remember if this was the right way to update the system so I could play New Super Mario Bros.

I have a D2CKey, and boot2 installed, and backups of my NAND when it was 3.2U and 4.1U.

Unfortunately I cannot boot to the Wii System menu, but can access bootmii restorer v0.6 via the SDCard. I can access HBC 1.03, however my wiimotes (all four of them) will not sync, so I cannot re-load wadmanager to try to uninstall the IOS53-trucha.wad file.

I restored successfully to both 4.1U and 3.2U, but still cannot access my system menu, and cannot get my wiimote to link to HBC. My HBC does connect to the internet and tries to download 1.0.6, but I can't click "ok" as my wiimote won't work.

So far my Wii is bricked, despite being able to load my NAND backups. Any tips?

I'm thinking of buying a classic controller and seeing if I can control HBC, but unsure if uninstalling that updated cIOS53-trucha.wad will repair my system menu. I though the NAND backup would restore any damage that I had done, but not so

 

Not sure how serious you are - fortunately I don't have any candles, otherwise I'd probably give that a go. Unless I can somehow navigate the menus in HBC so that I can get back into wadmanager to uninstall the cios53 (or install an alternate IOS), then I'm stuck being bricked.

May have to find a mate with a gamecube controller, or buy one to see if I can recover. Lucky I have bootmii installed in boot2, or else I'd be totally bricked.
