Hey Guys,
This is my first thread in this Community so please correct me if ill do anything wrong
So I had my Wii wanted to install Themes via MyMenuify
I had Priiloader and BootMii installed so I can recover from the brick if it would brick
and then it happend so I install the Wii Menu from Wii Mod Lite while being a bozo not doing a nand backup
Installed the Menu it booted and I had an other Theme I wanted to install and same thing brick problem was Priiloader wasnt starting up even when I reinstalled after the menu I dont know whats the reason because I got the Europe Themes because I live in Europe and my Wii is Pal so i thought it would all work
but nope bricked

Could anyone help me with my Problem?
Regards

Okay okay hang on, firstly, turn your Wii OFF and then while holding RESET, turn it back on.
Does Priiloader appear? It should, I'm just checking.
If so, try to go to the System Menu from Priiloader.

By the way, what model of Wii are you using? Y'know, RVL-001 has gamecube ports, RVL-101 doesn't. And when did you buy it?

Okay, try turning your Wii on normally, no holding reset this time.
Do you see ANYTHING? Like, is there an error code, or anything else that shows up on the TV?

Nope just a black screen
Huh. Well, that most certainly isn't normal. And you've already tried pressing A on the Wiimote, right?

Do you have BootMii installed as Boot2? If you do, then do you have a NAND backup from BEFORE you used MyMenuify? (It's easy as hell to brick with it)

Priiloader is gone.
======

BootMii in boot2 is needed to recover. Extract the BootMii files to SD and try starting with that SD.

Yeah in the past it work but now it doesnt when i HOLD it
Well, if you can't get into Priiloader, and the Wii System Menu is foobar'd, then your Wii is essentially a really really fancy paperweight, or a comforting companion to hold like The Bucket in The Stanley Parable 2.

AKA your Wii is in a better place now. May it rest in peace..

Damn gotta buy a new Wii but thanks for the help and time!
Did you verify that BootMii does not start when proving an SD card with the files?
BootMii can be used for repairing this even without Priiloader and without backup.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Indeed. I've been working on getting this Infecutus chip to work on my PS2. But after soldering, I realised that a plastic piece was missing from the power ribbon cable to the power and eject buttons.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Man, that's beyond my brain :rofl: I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Sounds good. I actually did soldering but like 16 years ago for school so uuuuh probably rusty haha
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Same here. I did soldering at school from a teacher who I honestly liked since he had plenty of good electronics experience.
