Hacking Trying to Restore Bricked Wii

[venn177]

So this happened once before, but not nearly as bad as this.

Whenever I start my Wii, it just gives me a black screen. I still have a nand.bin from right when I first installed BootMii, as I am overly cautious when it comes to things like this. The problem being no matter what I do it won't boot anything. I'm not sure if I have something wrong in my SD card, or what, but how do I get BootMii to run again so that I can use the nand.bin to restore my Wii?

Tried using this thread's ideas, but when I try to reinstall bootmii with a fresh hackmii, nothing happens, I don't think.

You have bootmii boot2, right? If yes, then get modmii and build config bootmii files with autoboot off.

sometimes people need to use the panasonic formatter (sorry I don't have the link, just google it). Ur SD card could possibly be one of the rare few incompatible.

If you ever can get bootmii working (from boot2 I assume) then run the MINI hackmii installer from bootmii. Yes I know it may sound gibberish at this moment, but if you need more help to understand then there is a whole community here that can explain it all in detail and help you fix your issue.

I've been using this SD card for modding for over a year now, so I know for a fact it's not incompatible. Somewhere along the lines I think I just broke something.

The problem with getting bootmii working is that in order to get bootmii to work I need to reinstall it through hackmii, I thought?

I deleted BootMii to try to reinstall it using HackMii, and now I don't have any of the BootMii files.

If you deleted bootmii from boot2 then you did one really stuipd thing and you are out of luck but if you only deleted the files on your sd then there is still hope.

Only deleted the files from my SD card.

So here's the updated dealio: I tried using modmii to get all the files that a virgin Wii would need, and boot from there, and I got nothing.

Seems no matter what happens, I can't boot my Wii.

You only need to get new bootmii config files...

I tried getting those from ModMii and using them, and the same thing is happening.

Using this I managed to fix it. I made the config files like that on a fresh install of everything from BootMii and it boots once before I have to recreate the config file.

Weird as that is, it'll allow me to restore it.

Edit:

Just finished restoring it, and it's still doing the same thing. You've gotta be kidding me ;_;

Make a new nand backup in bootmii, then format the nand.bin with giantpune's nand.bin formater. Then restore the new nand.bin. If that does not work you need to test for possible hardware failure, bad bluetooth module, bad wifi module, bad dvd drive.

Not finding that formatter anywhere.

Didn't work.

Same thing. How do I check for hardware failures?
