Bricked wii - Sysmenu unknown w/no backup nand from Bootmii..

Bricked wii - Sysmenu unknown w/no backup nand from Bootmii.. Hey you guys, I have an issue to discuss.. I have a bricked wii that has the following information to the wii: Bootmii v1.1 Stub v1.1 mini v1.1 Console ID - 03528223 (idk if it's required) Sysmenu - unknown Boot1b boot2v4 (I need to change "unknown" to an actual number) Nand FS Usage - 5.5% (somewhere around 5%) I originally had a 3.2U.. But it changed to unknown when I turned it back on.. Is there anything that I can do to get it fixed? I tried comex's nand formatter, which did install the IOS 30 and the Sysmenu 3.1U that I got from NUSD, but when it tried to install the EULA and RGNSEL files, it freezes.. And it still says Sysmenu - unknown.. Tried to upload someone else's working Wii Nand, which still saying it's from a different Wii, which I don't understand.. is there anyways I can fix this? at all? please respond fast? Thanks a lot.. BTW, My Bootmii still works.. I can restore and backup files normally, but I only have the backup file for the info above..http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,40887,40887#msg-40887Thu, 05 Mar 2026 08:53:35 +0100 Phorum 5.2.23 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,40887,52428#msg-52428 Re: Bricked wii - Sysmenu unknown w/no backup nand from Bootmii..http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,40887,52428#msg-52428

You need to take keys.bin and nand.bin and put them on the root of your SD card, for example E:/
(Replace E:/ with the letter assigned to your SD Card)
Then, if you're on Windows, open a Command Prompt by clicking Start>Run and typing "cmd.exe" and pressing enter
Then type "cd E:" (replace E with letter of SD card)
Then type "copy keys.bin+nand.bin flash.bin"
Let it finish and there will be a new file called flash.bin.
Move your nand.bin onto your computer, then delete it from your SD card.
Rename flash.bin to nand.bin, then remove SD card from computer.
Run BootMii and restore the NAND dump.

1. We both got the same boot1b boot 2v4
2. His is a working nand.bin and his keys.bin works too
3. I downgraded his system to 3.2U (I hope it don't make a difference)
4. My system used to be system 3.2U before it said "unknown"
5. I used Betwiin, and it still says that "dump is for a different wii"..

I don't get the concept of how his working wii just doesn't work with mines.. I don't get it.. can you help me?]]> blazefrom183rd FixMiiSun, 15 Nov 2009 01:00:18 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,40887,41250#msg-41250 Re: Bricked wii - Sysmenu unknown w/no backup nand from Bootmii..http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,40887,41250#msg-41250 SifJar FixMiiSat, 14 Nov 2009 23:33:23 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,40887,41244#msg-41244 Re: Bricked wii - Sysmenu unknown w/no backup nand from Bootmii..http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,40887,41244#msg-41244

I did put my cousin's NAND.bin and his keys in the output, changing NAND.bin to flash.bin, and put my keys.bin in the output folder and clicked on betwiin.py..

Did you definetly put the flash.bin (renamed from NAND.bin) and the keys.bin from a WORKING wii in input, and the keys.bin from YOUR wii in output?]]> SifJar FixMiiSat, 14 Nov 2009 19:46:23 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,40887,41210#msg-41210 Re: Bricked wii - Sysmenu unknown w/no backup nand from Bootmii..http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,40887,41210#msg-41210
The only thing it did was improve my nand FS usage from 5.6% -> 71.0%.. IDK if it even makes a difference since my sysmenu still says unknown.. :\]]> blazefrom183rd FixMiiSat, 14 Nov 2009 19:25:52 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,40887,41127#msg-41127 Re: Bricked wii - Sysmenu unknown w/no backup nand from Bootmii..http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,40887,41127#msg-41127 SifJar FixMiiFri, 13 Nov 2009 23:40:15 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,40887,41126#msg-41126 Re: Bricked wii - Sysmenu unknown w/no backup nand from Bootmii..http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,40887,41126#msg-41126
I did get the nand.bin file and the keys.bin file from my cousin, I put both of them in the input folder, renamed nand.bin to flash.bin, and put my keys.bin in the output folder, doubleclicked "betwiin.py", then got a flash.bin file in the output folder..

1.Do I need to rename flash.bin to nand.bin, then put both the nand.bin AND the keys.bin file in the root of the SD card?
Or
2.Do I need to leave flash.bin as is, and put it as the way I would do to a normal nand.bin on the SD card and likewise with the keys.bin?]]> blazefrom183rd FixMiiFri, 13 Nov 2009 23:22:04 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,40887,41118#msg-41118 Re: Bricked wii - Sysmenu unknown w/no backup nand from Bootmii..http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,40887,41118#msg-41118

Well, I'm sorry.. But I need help.. So I'm trying to get answers quickly.. And these are forums, not an IRC Channel..

Uh, thats what Arikado said. It made sense in the context of his comment, not in the context of yours. Do you know what an IRC Channel is? Cause if so, you'd realise how stupid your comment is.

what's an IRC channel? can i get it on freeview or is it sky & virgin only. any good films on it?

I'm actually using windows vista.. hopefully, it still operates just as well as an XP would or other system versions..

Thanks for the links.. I was wondering why didn't python 2.5 was working..

I do have a working Nand.bin file, but I don't have the keys.bin file that comes with it.. Can't I replace my own keys.bin file for the other required keys.bin file to make it work? Or do I need the working key.bin file that came with it?]]> blazefrom183rd FixMiiThu, 12 Nov 2009 20:41:26 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,40887,41012#msg-41012 Re: Bricked wii - Sysmenu unknown w/no backup nand from Bootmii..http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,40887,41012#msg-41012
EDIT: BTW, if you're on Windows, here are links to all you need to install:

Python : [python.org]
NumPy : [sourceforge.net]
PyCrypto : [www.voidspace.org.uk]

(I'm assumong you have 32-bit Windows.) Just download and run those files, the Python installer first, then the other two, and betwiin should work after that.]]> SifJar FixMiiThu, 12 Nov 2009 18:57:44 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,40887,41010#msg-41010 Re: Bricked wii - Sysmenu unknown w/no backup nand from Bootmii..http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,40887,41010#msg-41010
I've heard of an alternative for the nand.bin.. about the hex editor? I got that program and everything.. is it easier with the Hex editor or the Betwiin program? Because for Betwiin, I need to download specific programs for it to work, and unfortunately, i guess it's not working..

And for the hex editor, I need to insert a "space" between console and ID in key.bin file, then copy it, then open the NAND.bin file, and paste it at the very end of it.. or so it seems.. Will either work? or is Betwiin the only possible way that I can fix it?]]> blazefrom183rd FixMiiThu, 12 Nov 2009 18:53:37 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,40887,40996#msg-40996 Re: Bricked wii - Sysmenu unknown w/no backup nand from Bootmii..http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,40887,40996#msg-40996 SifJar FixMiiThu, 12 Nov 2009 18:06:10 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,40887,40947#msg-40947 Re: Bricked wii - Sysmenu unknown w/no backup nand from Bootmii..http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,40887,40947#msg-40947
Now since I got the required programs, how do I do this?

It has an input and output folder, Do I need 2 different key.bin's for this to work? Or do I put the same key file in each one?

And Same with the Nand.bin, any working Nand.bin file has to be only in input or in both?]]> blazefrom183rd FixMiiThu, 12 Nov 2009 00:46:57 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,40887,40934#msg-40934 Re: Bricked wii - Sysmenu unknown w/no backup nand from Bootmii..http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,40887,40934#msg-40934 SifJar FixMiiWed, 11 Nov 2009 21:58:37 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,40887,40926#msg-40926 Re: Bricked wii - Sysmenu unknown w/no backup nand from Bootmii..http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,40887,40926#msg-40926
