Hacking Wii system corrupt

[Arras]

compat won't even load. And I tried Wanin 249 base 56 and Wanin 21 d2x2 thing base 56.

When you say BRICKED what do you mean? You cant start WII ? You get a black screen? What happens?

 

[Arras]

Start Wii and it says: "Wii system files corrupt. Read manual for more information" or something to that effect. It won't do anything apart from that.

 

[cobleman]

Did you unplug the WII before you reinstall ios? Sounds like its stuck useing cIOS as system menu

 

[Arras]

Even if it did it has nothing to do with the problem. The problem is:
-Boot game using CFG
-Save
-Return to Wii Menu
-BRICK!

If you have NO protection installed, YOU ARE SCREWED!
Happens with Hermes AND wanin CIOS.

There are 2 things you can do:
1. Wait until the next nintendo console (Rumors say that it will be revealed at this yeats E3)
2. Buy another Wii and DON'T screw up.

i dont think it has ever been documented what triggers the "system files are corrupt" message.
if i had to guess, i would say it has something to do with writing that playlog bullshit before booting the game.

if i were trying to track down the cause and fix it, i would first use nandBinCheck . there are lots of things that it is able to detect that there are no other tools capable of detecting. run it first on your working nand.bin. and then on a bbricked nand.bin and see if there are any differences.

if this doesnt turn up anything, i would open each nand.bin up in nandExtract compare file permissions and stuff like that.

if you still havent come up with anything that jumps out at you as the cause of the brick, i would extract both nand dumps with that tool and compare them on the file level.

I have bootmii v2 and no Nand backup...

Huh?

Is bootmii installed into boot2? Must be if you can still get to HBC.

If all else fails then you can use comex's nand formatter.

I'll try it, but has'nt anyone been able to brick it with M&S at the winter olympics PAL?

 

[DeadlyFoez]

for future reference... use wiiflow

Yes bootmii in boot 2.
The problem is not that I can't fix it..
I want to warn people and find ou what causes this brick.
It's easily done by children, and if you do not have protection, Well goodbye Wii....

How do I run the NANDBINCHECK? I can't get it to work....

 

[DeadlyFoez]

nandBinCheck is a cmd line tool.

The easiest way to avoid this issue is to use the much better wiiflow. Done.

I hate to burst your bubble but it also happens on Wiiflow...
Better solution other than not playing this game?

Would a usb gecko here help to see whats happening?
Has anyone else tested this as it only appears to be you so far Hiel?
I don't have bootmii as boot2 so I aint trying it. lol

 

[xabby666]

Uhm... The ones with priiloader can test this and solve or is needed to have bootmii in boot2?

It's easliy fixed by installing a ios60 ( unstubbed ofcourse, lol ).
So if you have Priiloader there's no real harm.

It seems it only happen on SM 4.1 so far.
Allready tested it on 2 other Wii's. Same error.

Sometimes it only shows the message and the Wii can still boot.
But sometimes the Won't boot anymore and only shows the message.

Just wanting to redirect people to this thread,

It is most likely nand access patching on IOS60.

No it's not.
With a clean IOS60 there's still bricking potentional.
