save from brick with bootmii ios Hi Guys Its my understanding that if bootmii is loaded as an ios, it cant restore a nand and so doesnt protect you in the event of a brick. If you have a wii that can only install bootmii as an ios then what protection can you get that would be similar to bootmii in boot2 form? I mean how can you recover from a brick that you could recover from if you had bootmii in boot2?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,33221,33221#msg-33221Thu, 16 Apr 2026 16:57:20 +0200 Phorum 5.2.23 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,33221,33315#msg-33315 Re: save from brick with bootmii ioshttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,33221,33315#msg-33315 SifJar FixMiiSun, 13 Sep 2009 13:37:27 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,33221,33278#msg-33278 Re: save from brick with bootmii ioshttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,33221,33278#msg-33278 TopGun96 FixMiiSun, 13 Sep 2009 04:27:37 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,33221,33271#msg-33271 Re: save from brick with bootmii ioshttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,33221,33271#msg-33271

whats the recovery menu for??

Recovery. lol

Its a feature built into the system menu which usually requires either a SaveMii dongle or a modded GC controller to access it. It will install the update from any disc inserted, provided the version is higher than the one installed. Useful for fixing bricks caused by installing the wrong region system menu.

EDIT: The System Menu isnt an IOS.]]> SifJar FixMiiSun, 13 Sep 2009 00:16:14 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,33221,33240#msg-33240 Re: save from brick with bootmii ioshttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,33221,33240#msg-33240 TopGun96 FixMiiSun, 13 Sep 2009 00:15:15 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,33221,33239#msg-33239 Re: save from brick with bootmii ioshttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,33221,33239#msg-33239 thedemon13666 FixMiiSun, 13 Sep 2009 00:15:11 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,33221,33238#msg-33238 Re: save from brick with bootmii ioshttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,33221,33238#msg-33238 darklink FixMiiSun, 13 Sep 2009 00:13:23 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,33221,33236#msg-33236 Re: save from brick with bootmii ioshttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,33221,33236#msg-33236
Preloader - Places itself before System Menu, and lets you choose to load it instead of System Menu by holding reset while powering on. From preloader, you can launch HBC or launch homebrew directly. This may allow you to fix some bricks, by reinstalling IOS or System Menu for example, or by deleting dodgy custom channels (which can now be done legally, but can bannerbrick you).

Preloader gives better protection, but both can be handy.]]> SifJar FixMiiSun, 13 Sep 2009 00:11:29 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,33221,33233#msg-33233 Re: save from brick with bootmii ioshttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,33221,33233#msg-33233
for an older wii which can install bootmii as boot2 i assume you dont really need starfall for brick protection.

For the newer wiis (lu64 Le250 etc), how does starfall/preloader protect you against brick protection?]]> thedemon13666 FixMiiSun, 13 Sep 2009 00:07:07 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,33221,33231#msg-33231 Re: save from brick with bootmii ioshttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,33221,33231#msg-33231 SifJar FixMiiSun, 13 Sep 2009 00:05:51 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,33221,33229#msg-33229 Re: save from brick with bootmii ioshttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,33221,33229#msg-33229 thedemon13666 FixMiiSun, 13 Sep 2009 00:01:46 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,33221,33227#msg-33227 Re: save from brick with bootmii ioshttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,33221,33227#msg-33227 TopGun96 FixMiiSun, 13 Sep 2009 00:00:35 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,33221,33224#msg-33224 Re: save from brick with bootmii ioshttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,33221,33224#msg-33224

There really is no benefit as of now for the Bootmii IOS... yet
As SIfJar said, I'm pretty sure preloader is the only thing that can help you right now...I think starfall has some brick protection functions, but I'm not sure.

As of now, bootmii IOS can't do anything. I'm pretty sure that eventually it will have the ability to run apps of of MINI.]]> WaxyPumpkin72 FixMiiSat, 12 Sep 2009 23:59:14 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,33221,33223#msg-33223 Re: save from brick with bootmii ioshttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,33221,33223#msg-33223 TopGun96 FixMiiSat, 12 Sep 2009 23:56:11 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,33221,33222#msg-33222 Re: save from brick with bootmii ioshttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,33221,33222#msg-33222 SifJar FixMiiSat, 12 Sep 2009 23:54:17 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,33221,33221#msg-33221 save from brick with bootmii ioshttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,33221,33221#msg-33221
