Hacking Wii freezes on data management/save data

[Dumont]

I don't know what caused this but the last thing I did is I deleted some games/channels from my SD card. Now whenever I run my RB2 backup using softchip and try to play a DLC song, it just freezes on the loading screen .

data in your SD might be corrupt
u might need to format your card

 

[Dumont]

But my wii hangs in the wii memory save file page, does that mean I have a corrupted wii memory as well?

 

[kimikal27]

u didnt say that before
it does seem that way yes
u can try to update it by nintendo and then follow the mod sticky

 

[Dumont]

Wouldn't that update brick my wii?

 

[kimikal27]

no
just follow the guide

I already renamed it but it still continues to freeze. Is it safe to use the stickied update to 4.2 guide? Do I need to perform other steps before that if I'm coming from a soft-modded 4.0

 

[wes11ph]

don't rename it, delete it.
maybe that way we can figure out what's happening on your wii

 

[cobleman]

sounds like you might be useing priiloader or preloader and you are useing 249 as your system ios or any ios except the 1 for your system menu

I haven't accessed my priiloader for a long time. I'm not even sure whether its installed.

Things I did before this happened:
Installed IOS to make instruments work.
Installed softchip, hermes v4, uloader, cfg usb loader, downgraded usb loader gx
Deleted some channel/games installed on my SD


Do you guys think if I just updated to 4.2 using the stickied guide, it will work again?

 

[kimikal27]

yes it will work

I remember having this problem a while back. So if a wii system update doesn't work what i did was format my wii and it was fixed. Make sure you back up your saves.
