USB Loader GX Says “USB Device Not Initialized. Switching to Channel Mode.”

I have installed The Homebrew Channel and cIOS on my original white wii. USB Loader GX used to work, but now it doesn’t and I have no idea what changed. It is in the right USB port (The one closer to the outside) and is formatted in fat32, 32kbs format. However, whenever I open the application, I get the aforementioned error (USB Device not Initialized, switching to channel mode). This also happens whenever I subsequently check the ”Wii Games” box. The strangest part of it is when I open WiiFlow Lite, I get no errors; it loads right up super easily. However, I would like to use USB Loader GX because I then have GameCube support via Nintendont, and I am able to have one drive for my Wii games and one drive for my GameCube games. I am using two Sandisk flash drives, one of which is 16GB and the other is 8GB. I know that flash drives aren’t the best choice, but they are all I have and buying a USB Hard drive isn’t an option for me. Plus I know that they have worked before, so I don’t think its compatibility issues. Everything is updated, and I have seen many other people having this problem, however none of their solutions worked for me.

I would greatly appreciate any help.

Thank you in advance!

 

@alexander1970 I tried the other port and got the message “Waiting for HDD 20 seconds left”. Port 0 is the one on the left if you are directly facing the Wii, right? I am using the same port you circled in your image..

 

@alexander1970 Yes, I have been using that one. I also tried downgrading to r1268 but that didn’t change anything.

 

@alexander1970 I tried both IOS revisions, and both had the same error (also it was already set to 249).

Here is my SysCheck:

@alexander1970 I can also just swap out my two drive and use wiiflow lite and Nintendont separately if there is nothing I can do, like if using a flash drive simply won’t let me use USB Loader GX.

 

@alexander1970 thank you, I will try that. I have (Hopefully) one final question, how do I install it? I downloaded the file but it doesn’t look anything like my current USBLoader GX folder, and I’m not sure what to do with it.

@alexander1970 never mind, i downloaded the source code by mistake. My bad. Sorry.

Unfortunately I am still getting the same error. I am just going to combine my GameCube games and Wii games onto one flash drive and use wiiflow lite.

 

Of course. Thank you so much for your help.

 

@alexander1970 I found a new 32gb flash drive in my house and used it because I needed more storage space, and USB Loader GX immediately worked with it. It was the same brand, same type, the only difference was the storage. I had an 8GB Sandisk cruiser slide, which didn’t work. I then found a 32GB Sandisk cruiser slide, and it worked perfectly. My last question was is there anything that I should definitely not do if I want this to keep working? Thank you.
