Do update your system first to 4.3J using Multi-Mod Manager or by downloading the WADs from NUS Downloader, then update the rest here: https://wii.guide. Changing the region can brick your system if you're not careful, so always make a backup of your Wii first using BootMii.

• Download "Multi-Mod Manager": https://gbatemp.net/download/multi-mod-manager.13015/
• Drag-and-drop the "MMM" directory to the "apps" folder located on the root of your SD card.
• Launch the HBC then select "Multi-Mod Manager".
• Navigate to 'Manage System Menu', then select the latest System Menu to install (ensure that its your OWN console's region).

Quick question, the wii didn't had any SD on it, should I just create a new app folder in new SD & move file init?

Yes. Format the SD card using SD Card Formatter or GUIFormat to FAT32 32kb, then create a new folder called "apps" and drag-and-drop the MMM folder in there.

where do I get this?

Download NUS Downloader, then get the latest IOS80. I cannot provide links to download IOS modules because of obvious reasons.

Run "NUS Downloader" then select 'Database' > 'IOS' > 'IOS80' > 'Latest'. Check the 'Pack WAD' option and download. There should be a new folder where your WADs are located.

Was the "apps" folder on the SD card, or has it corrupted? You need to reformat the card, then copy the files again if it has. Check the card using h2testw to see if the capacity returns successfully.

The thing is homebrew was there without an sd, it was already init when I got it, but there was no sd inside the console, maybe I need to do homebrew process again?

What do you mean by this? Was the homebrew stored on another device, such as an USB, and that the SD card didn't override it?

There was no other device & no sd, homebrew was there without any other storage, I did the homebrew installation, now it's on the main menu again

Homebrew was there as on the SD or the channel? If its on the HBC menu, then it should be alright.
