Hacking Wii Brick with access to recovery mode and BootMii

[UgaAga]

Hi,
when I boot my wii, I get a black screen. I checked the bluetooth module and it seems to be ok. When I insert the sd card BootMii is loaded. I tried to install a new nand from scratch with comex nand formatter (3.1E) but with no luck. I'm able to access the recovery mode and when inserting a disc with higher a version it installs it (savemiifrii shows 4.3e then) but the screen remains black. What can I do?

Thanks

From bootmii, are you able to access the homebrew channel?

If not, run the hackmii installer's bootmii.elf file from bootmii's sd menu

I can't load hbc. If I load the bootmini.elf from BootMii.org the screen turns green and nothing happens.

Dump the keys, and make a fresh nand using ohneschwanzenegger, then install it. Good luck!

Thx, what should I take for boot1&2?

 

[XFlak]

Those aren't touched during a bootmii nand restore anyway

I created a new nand with the keys and used the boot1&2 from the dumped nand. I "installed" the new nand but the screen remains black.

I'm able to load the hbc installer bootmini file but I can't press 1 because I bought the wii without wiimote and I wasn't able to sync it with my original wiimote

When you are at the blackscreen, try syncing your wiimotes. If it's a video mode issue, the wii should still be running behind the blackscreen

I was able to rescue the wii. Thanks for your help! Much appreciated!

Great to hear! Out of curiosity can you share/confirm what you did to get it working in the end?

Yeah, it's a little embarrassing. I double checked the bluetooth module. I think it wasn't really stuck in the first place.
