Hacking Wii Music Pal Upgrade - Semibricked my Wii NTSC(3.3u)

[desi90]

Friends,

I have Wii (USA) running 3.3u with Wii Key and accidentally I said yes to upgrade while using Wii Music PAL. I was suppose to say no and ran blick blocker to remove that update but as always mistakes happen.

I would appreciate if experts can guide me to fix this. I do not have home brew channels installed and also never connected my Wii wireless with my router either.

Thanks a Lot.

you may fix it only with internet, i guess.

 

[desi90]

but How Do I do that by using Internet ?? as my settings are disabled as I am getting error while using settings

 

[Holt]

Semi-Brick Remover, just google it and search for USA version.

 

[desi90]

it is not working.. I did tried my old semi brick DVD that I used in Aug 2008

 

[Holt]

maybe if you update to 3.4 with some game...

 

[desi90]

Can you please advise me any new game that has 3.4U and will that stop me playing the back up games??

 

[Holt]

you have wiikey, i'll be fine. but which game, i don't know, Animal Crossing city folks, i guess.

 

[D-Jay]

There's still no game with 3.4 available.
Maybe you can create a Autoboot-Disc with a dump from another Wii or use Auto-Boot WAD-Manager to install a new systemmenu.

Hello D-Jay, Can you please guide me how I can create a Autoboot-Disc with a dump from another Wii or use Auto-Boot WAD-Manager to install a new systemmenu.

Also I have one question though My Wii is semibricked and it allows me to run my backup games so if I leave it semi bricked till new version comes will that be a problem ??

Please advise

Cheers

Yes, Unless you access the settings all the time.
2. Is there any solution to fix this without HBC.
No, and yes.

No, because there's an easy way to fix this using HBC. Why the fuck you don't want to install HBC?

Yes, there is a few ways.
1)Get a Autoboot WAD Manager
2)Use Wii Update Manager, and replace the update you got in whatever .iso, to 3.4. (May not work though)
3)Use Wii Scrubber or Trucha Signer, head for the update partition, replace the system menu wad with 3.4's System menu WAD
Please help !!

For you, 1,2,3 is too technical. Better install HBC

Thanks for the reply but the way I read few forums I was told that I need wifi conection to install HBC, if that is wrong than pleaseadvise how I should install hbc without internet connection as my settings are disabled.

Also if some one can guide me technical way by using WAD manager than I can do it as well. I tried running autoboot 1.3 but it gives me error.

Again u r pro and appreciate for your help please

Where the hell did you get your info? HBC DOES NOT need internet to install.

Install HBC.

Get WAD Manager.

Get a System Menu WAD of your region (v289 for US)

Then Install with WAD Manager

Here you go, just download all those files (check your pms for all the links).
Then create the directory /00000001/00000024/v1042/ in the root of your SD card.
Copy all downloaded files to this folder and put the SD card in the front SD slot.
Then try and reinstall the loader by selecting sd card if ever asked for the location to download.


QUOTEAlso if some one can guide me technical way by using WAD manager than I can do it as well. I tried running autoboot 1.3 but it gives me error.

WadManager is really straight forwad: you browse all your wads that are in a WAD folder at the root of your SD.
To install a wad, just browse to its name with up/down (all wads might not show up, just scroll) then install with '+'.
If you ever wanted to remove a previously installed wad, just reselect it but this time use '-' instead or you can still use AnyTitle Deleter and select your previously installed file.

@afif95:
inded, it needs to get some files off the internet to install (tmd.1042, cetk, 00000000, 00000001, 00000002...)

Don Killah, wrong topic?

He got a semi brick, and does not have HBC. Refuses to install as he thinks that it needs wifi.

If you read the whole thread, you'd know (Not flaming, just telling)

And he's not installing a loader too you know

So Don if I want to use WAD manager technique what software and files I need so I can run and remove the updates I did this morning.. Some one else advise me to download autoboot WAD manager 1.3 and I burned on DVD but it gives me an error when I ran that on my 3.3 semibricked Wii.

Afif I am sorry for the confusion but if either of you masters can guide me I can install HBC as I am not sure if I can install HBC without internet connection as I never configured my Wii to connect to internet through WIFI..

Please guide me with best and fast method.. I am technical so I can follow your technical advise...

@afif95:
yep i've just read the post too fast and didn't really noticed, just saw hat he needed some files to get HBC to install without the internet.

@desi:
check your pm, i've made an error while copy-pasting, my bad.

 

[Deleted User]

desi90, pay some attention to the stickies and you'll find your answer.

@Don Killah, well start reading slowly

.

Conclusion is, HBC DOES NOT need internet. And it's easy to install too.
