Hacking Wii Shop Channel Error Code:200101

[iggloovortex]

Whenever i try to start the shop channel it gives me error code: 200101. I asked nintendo what that meant, and they told me it meant the shop channel was down. this would be fine and all but its been like this for several months, and unless i was the only one getting a sony psn outage on my wii then something is wrong.

The issue now is, i have no idea what. Im on 4.3, i was before, and everything was fine, then one day my wii over heated from standby, no biggie. open it replace parts, close it, all good. or so i thought, because now im stuck with this error.

Wii Shop Channel

There are appears to be a temporary problem with the Wii Shop Channel.

temporary my ass. anyways, ive reinstalled 4.3, and shop channel v20, and ios 56 v5662 at least a dozen times, to no avail, so here i am wondering now, wtf do i do. im about to attempt to install 4.1/2 to see if that fixes it

 

[iggloovortex]

Bump, and i didnt update to 4.1/2, but now my shop channel is refusing to be updated at all. awesome.

 

[iggloovortex]

bumping once again. downgraded to 4.1 to no avail.

 

[iggloovortex]

bump again

my shop channel restarting the system menu, not allowing itself to be upgraded/installed again, and also i have all the necessary ios' installed. for the record, WiiSCU doesnt work for me, what ios does it use?

OK someone need to answer here. I never had a problem with the shop channel, but I can think about some problems you could have. At first use ModMii to install the latest shop channel and needed cIOS. Then do this:
1st:
Give your wii a static dhcp. Google how it works for your router and do it. This gave me the possibility to update my 3ds, may it helps you to access the shop channel.
2nd:
Open all wii ports in your router. Check out this website for the needed ones. Google it for your router again. http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/w...ineFirewall.jsp
3rd:
Check out if your wii can play wii games online after doing the things above. If not then your router may be incompatible in general or your internet speed is too slow.

my internet works fine, and my shop channel refuses to install anymore, it freezes while attempting to install the content 2/18

Bad, very bad. Sounds like something on your wii is broken... Someone should seriously help this guy!

This may sound silly, but have you tried formatting your console? I think the problem is related to your Wi-Fi MAC Address, which was automatically changed when you replaced the Wi-Fi module.

According to this page, formatting your console will reset the flags in /shared2/succession/transfer.id (this file contains info related to your physical MAC Address).

If you already did that and it didn't work, then I'm out of ideas. Maybe if you have BootMii as Boot2 present in your console, you may want to try the Comex's NAND Formatter way.

How are you upgrading/updating shop channel. an since no one is sure whats going on. if you have priiloader, marked as "block updates" an not using wads. that could be causing the problem. worth a shot.

 

[iggloovortex]

ive tried, wad, dop-shop, MMM, Wii Mod, everything. it reaches content 2/18, and just sticks there for hours, both installing and uninstalling

Did a REALLY old nand restore after backing up saves. looks like everything is ok to an extent. hopefully i never have to go through that again

 

[danielz20081]

maybe this works for you, download Nus Downloader on wiibrew.com download it. when it finishes open it and search on database for wii shop channel, check in the box that converts it into wad and put a save location after that download it and install the wad file to your wii. see wiibrew.com for information

Figured I'd revive this thread seeing as how its been over a year, the Wii U is now out, and I'm still the only one with this error code and cant access the shop channel to transfer my data.
I've installed and reinstalled Shop Channel 21, as well as IOS's 56 and 61 for 4 hours now. No matter what I do, Shop Channel still gives me error code 200101.
When I look up the error code on the Nintendo support site, this is the response:
Error Code: 200101

Have you ever changed your region settings. Does your SN in setting.txt match the SN on your wii?

 

[iggloovortex]

I havent, and it should, where can i find settings.txt?

 

[mauifrog]

You can extract the setting.txt from a nand backup. It is in \title\00000001\00000002\data\setting.txt
You may be able to view the info with wiimod, not sure on that.

 

[iggloovortex]

I'm currently reinstalling Darkcorp, I'll check afterwards

 

[mauifrog]

You'll need this to open the setting.txt
