Normally the install should go smoothly. I've hacked like 6 Wiis and a couple Wii Us and I can't say I've ever come across this issue.
Some WAD managers might not work (specifically older ones that don't include the AHB patches needed for trucha signed content) but the fact that you can't get any of them to work, not even d2x cIOS Installer and IOS236 Installer which should definitely work, is very strange.
If you could just get one trucha bugged IOS/cIOS installed that should enable all WAD managers etc. to work, but that would require that at least one of those installers/WAD managers actually work.
I don't really have any suggestions right now, but I will be watching this thread.

You said you have BootMii as boot2. You may be able to use cboot2 to boot into a WAD manager and install a cIOS.
cboot2 is a pretty old method but essentially what it does is allow you to run a cIOS without actually having one installed, and boot into a homebrew. That should give you the needed access to install whatever you want.
I have successfully used cboot2 before to recover a Wii I thought was doomed. I don't remember if I had somehow managed to brick the Wii or I had just lost homebrew access on it, but it did have BootMii as boot2 (but no NAND backup) and I was able to fix whatever I had broke thanks to cboot2.
