Gaming Wii stuck at health and safety screen, no option to press "A"

[wicksand420]

It's a solderless chip, goes in between the PCB board and DVD drive via ribbon cables

Ahh, I was wondering why anybody uses mod chips in this day in age, especially because the wii you have can read burnt discs without a modchip, it just cant read 2 layered discs

That might be harder, but can be accomplished using betwiin or the newer punetwiin (sp?)


ModMii will have an update soon-ish, in the meantime Google for wii(dot)guide priiloader

Ok, I tried IOS249 still no joy!

I then tried to uninstall the System Menu and an interesting message came up! "Aborted for Wii's Safety!" Have you ever seen this before??

Is this locked down somehow and cannot be re-written?

Could a corrupted or bad NAND cause all of this?

Oh, and I tried the black screen hack...all disabled

AHBPROT. Keep going you got this.

AHBPROT - enable or disable?

Thanks, every time I think I get a little further I hit another brick wall!! :-)

I will get it though

Ok, I was going through Wii Mod Lite again and was going through the different options for the IOS's. When I chose IOS236, I can see that NAND permissions is "Yes" but shouldn't the /dev/flash (Flash Access) also say yes in order to actually write the System Menu to it?. Also Trucha Bug says "No" but on my sysCheck log file says "Trucha Bug" And AHBPROT is disabled

What wad manager? This is expected behavior from yawmm as it has additional brick protection built in (remember I said this could be dangerous for ppl in other situations). I'm not sure about wii mod lite, but mmm should permit this as long as u have a cios loaded.

message came up! "Aborted for Wii's Safety!" This was MMM

I also tried WiiMod Lite and YAWMM, neither of them would let me uninstall the SM

Very strange, see if u can uninstall a different system menu wad? U can uninstall your system menu using any system menu IOS wad. But at this point I'd be considering ohneschwanzenegger

Yeah, i'm just going to try the ohneschwanzenegger option

I will let you know

Thanks again :-)

Hi all,

Ok, I tried the ohneschwanzenegger method and that worked perfectly!! :-) I guess it was a corrupted NAND?

Thank you very much to all of you for your help and advice, it took a long while to get this sorted but i'm glad I never gave up. Lesson truly learnt about having brick protection on any modded device and to always backup your NAND!

Now to restore my game saves
Install Bootmii 2
Install HB channel
And BACKUP the NAND!! and keep it in a safe place

Do I really need to install Priloader as well?

I suggest u use modmii again. U don't necessarily NEED priiloader since u have bootmii as boot2, but some of its system menu hacks are nice, like blocking updates, etc. And if u want to autoboot into another app directly instead of the system menu or the hbc u can do so only with priiloader

Ok, I ran sysCheck and used Modmii and got the following output. I take it I have to now install what is required here?

Do I backup my NAND first at this point before doing this or once everything is patched then do the NAND backup?

Thanks

Considering u already have a totally virgin nand dump, u can make a new one at the end of the softmod process

That makes sense, thanks again :-)
