So........I proper bricked the vwii via using the wrong files that were left on the sd card from previous Wii hacking. I have no back up files either. Its dead. I accept that.
My Wii has been updating fine but now the 5.5.1 update won't update and now games have updates that won't install without the system update. I'm currently on 5.5.0.
Am I proper screwed.?
Error 106 - 3206 I think

AFAIK yes, unless you made a backup of IOSes (an optional step) as for now there is no way to use IOSes from other consoles or from NAND backup. I'm sorry

you can use vIOS from other people's backups as long as they are clean and are the latest revision iirc.

this is because of some Wii IOSs installed or vIOSs missing.
if your vWii can still boot and you can get some of the hack loading exploits working, you might be able to unbrick
what Wii IOSs did you install?

Here simple steps to know if you can fix your vWii. (Edit : This Q/A is outdated now that we can access vWii NAND from WiiU mode!)
Click "reply" to my post and fill the answers.
Reply to each question in order to find which is the last question you could reply.

1. Can you still run vWii ?
- no : sorry, it's a full brick.
- yes : next question

2. Can you run HBC?
- yes : run syscheck and post the result. follow the tutorial in my signature, don't post the wrong file! (Run the latest version, do not run your version. DELETE all your Wii SD card content or use a new SD card only for vWii)
- no, or not installed : go to next question

3. Do you have a USBLoader forwarder installed ?
- USBLoader forwarder installed : good, you can fix it.
- Other forwarder installed : You still have a chance, tell us which one you have and reply to next question.
- no : next question

4. Did you install vWii cIOS or wii cIOS ? and are they still available?
- no cIOS or IOS236 : You can't fix it.
- Wii cIOS installed : sorry, you can't do anything.
- vWii cIOS installed: you still have a chance to fix your semi-brick, go to next question.
- You don't know if Wii or vWii, or if you have any cIOS installed : we will have to check. go to next question.

5. Do you have a game disc compatible with vWii exploit?
- no : You will need one.
- yes : next question

6. Is your exploit game still working?
- no : try another compatible game.
- yes : you can fix your semi-brick as long as your game disc can be launched (you need the correct requested IOS working, different game use different IOS slot).

It's a full brick. Vwii black screen and hangs. There were Wii cios on the sd card that I didn't realise. I'm not fussed about the vwii more bothered about updating the Wii u. Is my only hope hoping that one day 5.5.0 will one day be able to spoof higher firmware

if you cant even enter vwii then you cant fix it sadly, just hope for 5.5.0 kernel someday to spoof to higer versions or iosu to unbrick your vwii until then your screwed.

when i launch brawl it just gives me the blackscreen and HBC is doing the same thing
i have my keys and nand backup
there was probably a mod of vIOS 36 (for brawl?) and vIOS58. do you have any other exploit games? (LEGO Indiana Jones, LEGO Star Wars, ect.)

no i only have brawl
do you have any fowarder channels installed? (USB GX, Wiiflow)
if so, can you access them? you might be able to save your vwii
if you dont have them/cant access, you might have to drop some cash on another exploit game and hope it uses an unmodified vIOS. the lego games go for dirt cheap these days anyways (Lego Star Wars is $10 USD at my local game stop)

if you're able to access a fowarder to boot homebrew, run this first and check the IOSes. Syscheck HDE

Are my questions too hard to follow and answer in order?
we still need to ask the same question, while you could have answered them all at once, and you still are not answering them.
If you don't listen to users who want to help you, you might break it even more.

You should answer Cyan's questions so that people can help you correctly, make an effort to be helped even if English might not be your main language.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.

    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
