My apologies if this is not the correct section for posting this.
I have a friend who tried to softmod his wii, however failed in some regards, and we followed up (stupidly as we had no idea) by factory resetting the wii. He had the homebrew channel installed, plus some sort of dark custom wii theme along with some homebrew titles I cant remember.
Now, the system is at its factory version (I cannot remember the numbers, I do not have the wii currently in my possession) and is absolutely unable to update. Why? I believe its something with the previous homebrew installed blocking the update or something of the sort- if I can get my friend to try to update again, I'll post the error message. Note that the homebrew channel is now gone along with all of the other channels related to it.
A thought recently came to mind (the wii has been like this for quite a while now, but I've finally gotten around to really digging up information on this), that being that if I managed to install homebrew on the wii, I might be able to update the system back to 4.3 (U) and fix it/or uninstall all other versions of homebrew and the other crap.
Sorta long story short; am I able to install another homebrew version to uninstall the other, and then proceed to update the wii back to 4.3U? We have no plans on sending it to nintendo for them to say "Sorry, its modded- you shouldnt have done that" or some crap like that.
