Hey there y'all, my first post here.
So, tonight it finally happened, after 3 years of softmodding. My Wii was fully bricked and the System Menu won't boot. I have BootMii boot2 installed.
I'm a bit unsure as to how it happened, but I'm pretty sure it's got to do with mixturing around with System Themes and stuff. I installed some black theme and tried some different kinds the other day. Then tonight, the menu started glitching a bit and Cleanrip didn't work, so I decided to run a restore through BootMii (restore point from 2 days ago)... and that's what bricked the Wii. After that restore, the System Menu no longer boot. All I have is BootMii. HBC won't boot either.
Now, I've googled loads and loads. I've read something that installing a new System Menu Wad could get it to work again; that I somehow got the System Menu deleted. Is this true? I do have a 4.3E system menu wad, problem is, how am I to install it? Is there some wad manager you can run on the console in this state?
Seriously sorry about being a n00b. It's just really late here and I'm sad and worried, lol.

EDIT: I found a backup of my SD card from some weeks ago. I ran that restore point and the Wii booted now. Still, I'd like to know if somebody can tell me why it happened, and if there is a wad manager to use when it's dead.
