Hacking Wii Channels Black Screen

[Rheotron]

Hi,

I'm having a problem when I boot into the wii and whenever I try to access any channels the screen goes black and nothing happens. The lights remain on on the wii remote though.

Any ideas as to what I can do? I'm running 4.1E with hbc.

 

[xzxero]

what channels specifically?

HBC?
custom fowarders?
shop channel?

 

[Rheotron]

Um, every system channel. So, Mii Channel, Photo channel, shopping channel, weather channel, news channel. The homebrew channel and the disc channel work fine though.

Also, when I try to accept the agreement to allow wiiconnect24 the same thing happens, black screen. Any ideas?

 

[XFlak]

yeah, here's an idea... restore a nand backup

if u can still access homebrew... then u can still access bootmii

 

[Rheotron]

My NAND backup is only from after I started seeing this problem. I know, call me retarded, I didn't do it before.

I'm thinking it's something to do with the IOS. It's interesting because when I start the Mii and Photo channel I get a system files corrupt error. But all the other channels stated above just give me a black screen.

 

[xzxero]

update your wii using the update.zip from my guide
that should fix any IOS problems your having

 

[Rheotron]

I gave that a go. Everything installed fine, except for that now whenever I boot I don't get the press a at the health and safety screen.

thats not good.
sounds like a full brick now.
what did you install first?

 

[Rheotron]

I installed everything in the order that the guide suggested.

I managed to get it to boot once after I followed the guide so I did get bootmii installed. Thank god.

so you have a black screen wii
with bootmii installed
as IOS or boot2 or both?

 

[Rheotron]

both. It's not a black screen, just no 'Press A' at the health and safety screen.

 

[BBking83]

Do your channels work now?

That "no health screen" is a Preloader hack. Do you have that installed?

Must have just been what xzxero gave you...?

 

[Rheotron]

Nah, I couldn't get preloader to install, it said couldn't find the title or something. I just left it though because I had bootmii as boot2.

Also, it's not that the health screen doesn't appear. It does, I just can't press a to continue into the system menu.

 

[BBking83]

Aaaoooooohhhhh...

Yeah, I heard that before. And re-syncing does bugger all, hey?

I've read somewhere here of someone having remote sync issues but only in apps (WADmanager, I think) and he got it to work. Can't remember. Maybe try and search: "remote not syncing" or something??

sorry.

 

[Rheotron]

Nah, it's alright mate. Re-syncing doesn't do anything.

I guess I'll just restore my NAND backup back to what it was before and go from there.

 

[xzxero]

so the health and safety screen shows up but after you press A it black screens?

 

[Rheotron]

Nah, when it boots up. The health and safety screen appears but there is no "Press A" pulsing down the bottom.

 

[xzxero]

oh, then do a NAND restore then seems like your only choice.
