Allows you to browse and extract Wii NAND dumps, including BootMii and any other "standard" Wii NAND dump (ECC and non-ECC).

Single file or selected directory extraction supported.

Displays total space used, total files, and each individual file mode, attribute, UID, GID, and size.

Hi,
the tool looks great but it have a little problem.

If i use the "Extract All" function the Wii NAND Extractor 0.1.2.0 didn't extract all files from any dump. If i extract the files manualy the tool has no problem with any file.

EDIT:
Now it work!?

ps. Now we need a NAND Editor.

That's my next goal for this program. It's already in progress.

If there are any other ideas for nand tools, I'd love to hear it. A "title database" feature, to list installed titles and their versions, is also on the list.

Adr990 · Sep 15, 2009

Woah!

Thanks for this app dude.
It's way more easier than setting up Segher's zestig/twintig/tachtig.

Thanks!

Ohhhhh, i can post a long list with ideas.

This are my first ideas:
NAND Converter like betwiin to convert a NAND from a Wii to another with output for boomii v02 and v03.

Bootmii Converter to change a dump from/to bootmii v02v03.

Information about boot1/boot2/sysmenu version.

Brick-Check and fix-function for the sysmenu/IOS/settings.

NAND Encrypter to encrypt and add a file/folder to a NAND dump. Output format should be in bootmii format for v02 and v03.

NAND CleanUp to delete every personal settings like the login for the WLan and the Shop-Channel(title0010002\48414241\date\ec.cfg, wv24*).
That help to use a dump on another Wii.

Full NAND CleanUp to delete HBC, cIOS, ...

Bootmii injection to add bootmii to a NAND dump.

...

Yes love all them Hibit

Congratulation and thanks for the (family) update!

taco-jim · Oct 28, 2009

I was able to use the common-key.bin thats floating around in google land and the actual keys from my wii.. both had the same output when i extracted with wii nand extractor. Will this only work up-to a certain menu version? ie. 3.4U etc? Is viewing the key possible after the nand is extracted?

G0dLiKe · Dec 25, 2009

Is there an app where we can add files or folders in the correct format to a dumped nand and restore to it then?

WiiUBricker · Jan 26, 2010

Awesome App, big thanks parannoyed

ShowMiiWads is what you are looking for

D3M0N23 · Feb 15, 2010

same question as that other person,
is it possible to show my nand key ?
and how ?
thanx

Erikie · Feb 16, 2010

Using the common key does not work, I tried it on several dumps I have of various wiis. You will get files but the contents are garbled. No use for it.

D3M0N23 · Feb 16, 2010

and with a nand dump
is possible to get the key of that wii out of there somehow ?
cause i have been looking around in my nand but wouldn't have clue were to search

tj_cool · Feb 16, 2010

The keys are not stored on the NAND
You can get the keys by making a NAND dump with BootMii (which you should've already done)

giantpune · Feb 17, 2010

yes. ive been looking forward to an app that will encrypt a directory into a nand.bin. when you get that part done, you will help many people that have their key and no nand backup to restore.

D3M0N23 · Feb 17, 2010

tj
i had it but it wouldn't restore(still don't know why), so left it on my pc, but that got problems and had to go back to the store and get a new one, but lost all my data... (typic situation of life being a (censor) -_-)
and i can still acces it and make a nand dump but it won't give me a keys.bin only a nand.bin
if i were able to get my keys that way i would've allready been able to unbrick my first wii
also looked at the complete dump process but that only shows 8 console id digits and 8 key digits and showmiiwads asks 32 digits so i'm 16 short
that's why i'm searching for another way to find them
but i'm guessing i'll have to be looking more into the infectus now

thanx for the info

Click to expand...

hypothetically speaking, would the app still need to analyze an existing nand.bin dump for bad blocks and compensate for that when building a modified nand.bin?

dolph_boy · Apr 27, 2010

my wii is not a well one

i have tried copying my friends nand and key, deleted his key and saved my key and his nand in the same file, ran bootmii key fix
it ran, and used bootmii and used the restore, but upon conpleshion on the screen, I rebooted the wii. took out the sd card, and still getting the black screen.

what am i doing wrong ?

please help if you can

Click to expand...

yes, bad blocks would need to be taken into account. but im thinking you could just do this
>have a wii that you can get into bootmii but for some reason you want to restore a nand dump. too bad you dont have a nand dump to restore
>use bootmii to take a nand dump and get the keys
>use the yet-to-be-made pc app to annalize that dump or bootmii log to figure out the bad blocks, and then create a empty 528MB file and let the user install wads and other files to that blank nand. then use the keys to encrypt that nand into something that can be installed with bootmii
