Hacking Update bricked 4.0 with 4.1?

[K405]

Hi all,

I bricked (still don't understand how I did it, switched off & on) my 1st release version WII

It's not totally dead because I get 4.0 during boot when pressing "the buttons" on the GC controller at power on.

I tried the Nintendo recovery disc but (yes it's chipped with yaosm) but no luck

I know I'm stupid for not installing BootMii and creating a NAND backup... I know. I know. It happend a few months back and I don't want to send it to Big N just yet, as I will get a newer version Wii back

Anyway I want to try to update to 4.1 but I don't know which game/image I can use to do that.

So my question is does anyone know which game comes with the 4.1 menu update? (if at all?)

Thanks for reading.

*** Turned out to be a faulty Bluetooth module, so a hardware error

yes, Nintendo products can have hardware issues as well..

where is this world coming too

Now I can install BootMii in boot2 , Yippie

No game has the 4.1 update and probably won't for a few months at the very least. The highest system menu update any disc at the moment has is 3.4.

I don't know what that flag is from, but I'm guessing it means you have a PAL system and not NTSC. In the offchance you DO have an NTSC system and you can autoboot into a game, you could try autobooting brawl and using smashstack to run wad manager or something to install IOS60 and the 4.1 system menu wad or even run the hackmii installer itself to install bootmii to boot2 now and at least make a NAND backup at this point so it can't really get any worse at the very least.

Smashstack is only for NTSC systems for the time being though, but you'd probably have to wait less time for a PAL version of that than you would for a game with the 4.1 update.

good one.
if you dont have the trucha bug might as well call nintendo.
1-800-255-3700

and it doesnt matter they wont give you a new Wii anyways and every type of wii hackable so the model isnt even a problem.

Sounds like a banner brick. Did you install a channel right before the brick happened?

Get yourself a NTSC copy of SSBB, patch it to autoboot and use smashstack with it. Then run wadmanager or any title deleter and uninstall whatever is causing this.
Maybe install bootmii before doing this, though...

Try this disc http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IHOREMRO -it works on PAL and NTSC Wiis-. What you need is a chip, a Gamecube controller, Homebrew Channel already installed on your Wii, Waninkoko's IOS249 already installed -any version- and trucha bug on IOS60. Use the disc with the savemiifrii method. If it works, it will automatically launch The Homebrew Channel. Once there, use the apps to undo whatever caused the brick. If you're not sure try to use Wad Manager to reinstall IOS60 and your region system menu -4.0E/4.0U whatever it is-. Download them with NUS Downloader. If it is a banner brick, just use Any Title Deleter or Wad Manager to delete the wad you installed last time. Good luck!

Yes, I have a PAL Wii, I'm from the Netherlands, Europe. It's a low level brick I just get a black screen, none of my games boot, maybe it's a hardware failure? Although I find that very unlikely, Nintendo isn't Microsoft

Hmmm.. dunno what I will do maybe I'll just let it sit in the closet and I will hopefully forget about it and by the time I stumble upon the thing there's a game with 4.1

Thanks for your time.

Bannerbrick would give me this right?

I just get a black screen, the ODD does make some noise when inserting a disc.

sigh, another wii going to waste.

I agree with this, sounds like a banner brick to me sense it boots into recovery mode use the program bootme on the brawl ISO DVD9 version and see it will autoboot, even though you'll need the NTSC version his modchip should support region free yes??

no banner brick will crash your wii after you press A to get past the health and safety screen
since you have a modchip installed, use savemiifrii to run super smash bros brawl or burn an autobooting version of it and use smashstack to install the system menu wad

Dunno if I meet all the requirements but I will give it a try. Thanks!

No, I'm pretty sure I didn't install a channel.. but I will give your suggestion a try anyway.

autoboot will not work with SSBB NTSC , game will boot and give you error . autoboot is blocked there !

example, original DVD9 SSBB NTSC MD5 is : d18726e6dfdc8bdbdad540b561051087 = works fine
AutoBoot DVD9 SSBB NTSC MD5 is : 331b96703661121736cfc9c4d41d16b1 = will autoboot but give a error "please insert the Super Smash Bros Brawl Game disc"

if to use DVD9 SSBB NTSC d18726e6dfdc8bdbdad540b561051087 + Autoboot modchip it will give same error !
so looks like game test it self or something... and not like autoboot at all ( not ISO patchers and not on fly autoboot patch modchips ).

Is there anyway to run brawl on a banner bricked wii? I've waited for the smash stack hack to unbrick my wii, but now I'm reading that you can't autoboot this game, and seems it's the only one that doesn't autoboot, I feel really disapointed.... hopes someone gets this running

Turns out my Bluetoothmodule is busted!

I finally had some time to take the broken Wii apart completely and swap the bluetoothmodule from a working Wii and.... TADA! it booted ok

So I ordered a new bluetoothmodule from Ebay.

So if you have a black screen at power on, I mean no menu nothing, just black (after doing nothing out of the ordinary), try swapping the bluetooth module and/or the WiFi module, it's very easy to do, just be gentle with the mini connectors!
