could you be so kind to explain to me how did you fix yours,
I've done the same mistake with mine (also 4.2U) and cant get it out of the preloader menu, (i used preloader .29)
all sub-menus are not working at all and is not recognizing the SD , so my chance to repair it will be via Disc,,

That is because you have a Korean Wii that has been converted to another region. There's nothing you can do atm.]]> bg4545 FixMiiMon, 21 Dec 2009 00:38:34 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,43915,44797#msg-44797 my wii says error 003 unothaurized device has been detectedhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,43915,44797#msg-44797 wiibrick FixMiiSun, 20 Dec 2009 15:03:54 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,43915,44255#msg-44255 Re: bricked wii 4.2u preloaderhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,43915,44255#msg-44255
And personally, I wouldn't trust Nintendo (or the Postal Services, for that matter). They might be able to fix it, but when? If you read their repair statements, they'll get to your Wii when they can. Not exactly reliable.]]> daxenryal FixMiiSun, 13 Dec 2009 21:27:58 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,43915,44219#msg-44219 Re: bricked wii 4.2u preloaderhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,43915,44219#msg-44219 judd328 FixMiiSun, 13 Dec 2009 03:24:58 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,43915,44188#msg-44188 Re: bricked wii 4.2u preloaderhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,43915,44188#msg-44188
I installed Preloader on 4.2U since my friend suggested it and wound up with a semi-bricked Wii. It still autoboots into Preloader, but whenever I try to install Priiloader, my Wiimote gets knocked off and, as far as I know, Priiloader doesn't support GC controllers. If someone could help me with this, that'd be awesome.

EDIT: So I went through Preloader and, using WAD Manager 1.5, was able to reinstall the System Menu 4.2. It took out Preloader, but it fixed my Wii and it's now running with Priiloader. Thanks for the help anyways.]]> daxenryal FixMiiSat, 12 Dec 2009 18:07:33 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,43915,44157#msg-44157 Re: bricked wii 4.2u preloaderhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,43915,44157#msg-44157 judd328 FixMiiSat, 12 Dec 2009 02:31:04 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,43915,43918#msg-43918 Re: bricked wii 4.2u preloaderhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,43915,43918#msg-43918
The issue is that Preloader needs ES_Identify in the system menu IOS in order to load the system menu. The best way to fix this is to install Priiloader, which is a modification of Preloader that has a few more features and does not need ES_Identify to load the system menu.]]> jbc007 FixMiiTue, 08 Dec 2009 19:40:03 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,43915,43915#msg-43915 bricked wii 4.2u preloaderhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,43915,43915#msg-43915 judd328 FixMiiTue, 08 Dec 2009 18:40:57 +0100
