As of a couple days ago my Wii was working just fine. Able to play most back up games thru disc channel. This is what has happened since then. I downloaded Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles and tried to run thru disc channel. It came up as Res Evil 4 (which happened to be the last game I played), anyways it didn't work. Just froze the wii. Next day I decided I would upgrade from 3.2U to 4.1U to try to get NSMB working. Everything installed fine but when I put in any of my backed up games, i would get dvd load errors in neogamma and unable to read disc in disc channel.

Since this point, I have done just about everything possible to fix it which inadvertantly could have made things worse. It does not seem that I have bootmii installed anymore (as it no longer shows up in HBC when i hit the home button). I do have a backed up NAND on my pc. I've downgraded firmware back to 3.2U. Also I believe I'm running ois248 rev 14. Other than that, I don't know much else about whats going on in my wii. I did get it modded from virgin with little complications. I know I never had to use DopIos or any similar program to download and patch wads.
I still have homebrew installed. Also, when I go to system mgmt and try to access my SD card for channels, the wii freezes, which it never did before.

Thats about all I have. If anyone can suggest some ideas as to how to get this thing up and running it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Welcome,

there will be a solution for your problems.

The freezing part you´re referring to can be because of bannerbomb which is maybe on your SD card.

Did you use a specific app to upgrade to 4.1? Because most(or all?) apps which upgrade to 4.1 will install the stubbed IOS.

I believe the prog i used to go to 4.1 was

Firmware Updater v4.1 |
| developed by Waninkoko

In the HBC it said ' safely update to 4.1 '


I will try to install bootmii again and do the ios checks.

just tried installing bootmii with hackmii installer v.3 . says that no vulnerable ios found on this wii. this is the same error i always got (even when everything worked ) when i tried to update my HBC thru wifi every time my hbc booted up.

Install a clean IOS 36, then run hackmii installer again.

EDIT: Download the latest hackmii installer on bootmii.org

I said cIOSes. I know about Stub IOS60s. I made that mistake when 4.2 came out (thanks again bootmii!).

If he had that issue, his wii would have fully bricked upon updating to 4.1. I was confused, and was thinking you were trying to say that 4.1 stubbed his IOS249 because his backups no longer work. 4.1 included no such stub for cIOS.

Ok, I misread that one. I agree with you.

I get a similar problem. Have d2ckey, and played all backups ok. Followed xzxero guide fully. Now some games don't work, some do. Also, weirdly, GH Aerosmith (& some others) only works if I boot the wii with mario and sonic winter olympics in the drive, then change disc to GH Aerosmith. I'm pretty sure I didn't miss any steps in the soft-modding guide.
