Hacking please help in fixing bricked wii

[Kevin578]

I recently ran dop-ios and installed a patched version of ios60. then, there's a message saying the system files are corrupted. can someone please help me fix this? if it's any help, i have preloader installed, the homebrew channel, and a wiikey modchip.

more info: there is no health/safety screen, just the corrupted files message. also, the message is sorta pixelated, and doesn't load completely.

re install preloader and it should go away.

Did you not read the instructions that came with the new dop-ios?


Marc has released Dop-IOS v6. Dop-IOS lets you download and install any IOS from Nintendo servers. You can also apply the trucha bug to them. Is there a brick risk using this? Yes, Any application that modifies NAND can brick your console. Be careful when you are going to 'dop' the IOS that your System Menu uses. A power cut during installation can brick your Wii. Also, don't try to 'dop' IOS60 if you are using Preloader, because you can get a brick.

I missed that warning

sorry

but how do i reinstall preloader? i missed my opportunity to reinstall it after i quit out of dop-ios and turned off my wii. now, when i turn it on, it just displays that error message and i can't lauch the homebrew channel through the system menu. if i can boot into the homebrew channel, i can reinstall it. Is this still possible?

hold down the reset button as soon as you turn on your wii.It will load preloader.Then boot into HBC and reinstall preloader.

 

[Kevin578]

yup, that fixed it!

thank you! I'll be more careful in the future. luckily this brick wasn't too serious.

No problem.

A lot of people had the same problem when system menu 4.0 came out.

They installed 4.0 then preloader,then the patched ios60 to play vc/wii ware from sd.

When they should have installed the patched ios60 before installing 4.0


I did it as well.
