Hacking Wii maintenance mode

[Opium]

wow this fixed my half bricked pal wii.

kick fucking ass.

This is pretty huge news, can you please explain to me what you did?

 

[auyongtc]

Everyone, please disregard what modshroom128 is saying about unbricking Wii with it until we have any real confirmation. I believe he's just passing gas.

If its true about the Shopping Channel running a FTP server in maintenance mode, that is MASSIVE news

This was already known a long time ago from what I recall. Hackers discovered that port 21 (IIRC) was open not long after the Wii was released.

 

[cheesyPOOF5]

Wow I can only hope this tiny discovery can lead to a much larger one.

 

[Dylaan]

So what exactly is possible with this? Nothing so far right, just a cheesy message? Would be awesome if this allowed who knows what to happen!

I'll explain you what he did, he was being an ass, as usual.

For those too lazy to do it.

Also, it deleted my record of playing BWii for an hour from the message board.

Also, my friend has 2.2U and cannot get it to work. I have 3.0U and it works.

That's odd...
My Wii doesn't have an "ok" button, the message just slides down off the screen after a few seconds.
Anyway, I can't find that it does anything. Except delete things from the message board.

 

[MrKuenning]

how do you delete things, mine doesnt let me access the message board..

 

[Elrinth]

sounds like this isn't useful for anything ._.

 

[WrathofGod]

I have a 2.2 u version of the wii and it doesn't bring up anything maintnance. Fyi doesn't work 4 me.

...yet. (i hope)

Hope to generate more attention so more people can try testing things out, who knows where this might lead us to?

 

[1337Nemo]

i think everything is tested allready and it wont help us anything..

I think if Nintendo plugs in some extra-deluxe super hardware XXL and then enters this mode, they can debug it etc .. but thats non of our buisness

 

[DaRk_ViVi]

Anyone tried importing a downloaded wii channel (one from a different wii, better if a game) in maintenance mode? I can't test it myself as i'm at work. :/

 

[1337Nemo]

Not working.

 

[Mr_Grinch]

Do updates run when games launched through maintenance mode? Does freeloader run (original)? Is it reverting back to to stock firmware level?

 

[gEist]

Well, i copied my Super Mario Galaxy Save game in normal Mode and in Maintance Mode...
then i compared both... via Hex Editor... there are some changes in it...about 189 changes ;>
