Hacking Question about recovering from perma-brick

[Zendeavor]

Okay so I've just really been reading around.

But say, for example, I bricked my wii completely. Like, full-brick.

But my system is 3.2U with Starfall already.

So, if I got bricked and I loaded up files on my SD as wads, like maybe original IOS files, a legit sysmenu wad, just the things I need to reset my wii back to something like factory 3.2U settings.

Would I be able to hold Y on a 'cube controller and load up TP and perform the hack to start up a wadmanager boot.dol, then browse through and install the recovery files? Or maybe pull a controller apart and hold up+down+left+right on the d-pad to boot up?

I'm mostly just confusing myself here. But I think I stated it clearly enough for you to answer me.

By perma-brick, do you mean removal of the ios that system menu uses or the system menu itself?

In that case, no software solution for you...

well what is the most severe brick i could recover from on 3.2u/starfall?

banner brick
any low level brick you would a Nand Flasher and a dump of your Nand.img

I corrupted my system files last week - i had just installed preloader (thank god) and i was able to just book into homebrew and install systemmenu-3-2e.wad and it resotred the system menu perfectly - its a great tool !!!
