I have the black screen, due to my roommate deleting everything. I can only turn on the console with the wiimote, no bootmii boot2, and savemii won't work. So, can anyone help me determine if I can recover my nand with an infectus. I bought the wii in fall 2008 and it's serial begins: LU35889XXXX My understanding is that you must have a console that is boot1/boot2 vulnerable, so that you can write bootmii and restore your wii.

The installed boot1 version prevents a boot2 install (-2)

Do you think I should hold onto it hoping that some day they will find a new vulnerability to wake my brick?]]> m00nstone FixMiiWed, 17 Feb 2010 05:28:13 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,49262,49441#msg-49441 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,49262,49441#msg-49441
Somewhere in the log, it either says that Bootmii can be installed (meaning that it can be installed as boot2), or that it can only be installed as an IOS.]]> jbc007 FixMiiTue, 16 Feb 2010 18:28:09 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,49262,49403#msg-49403 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,49262,49403#msg-49403
$65US to find that out would be a hard pill to swallow.

Can anyone share any links to places where people are trying to track serial number/manufacture date/boot1 change?]]> m00nstone FixMiiTue, 16 Feb 2010 05:28:13 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,49262,49346#msg-49346 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,49262,49346#msg-49346
If you don't have a working NAND backup from your wii or its keys, the only way to fix it is to manually install Bootmii as boot2 (there are more steps after that, but they are easy and practically certain to work). Based on when you purchased your wii, it is possible that it has a fixed boot1, which prevents Bootmii from being installed as boot2; thereby preventing you from repairing it. However, it is also possible that it has the old boot1, which would mean that you could install Bootmii as boot2 and fix your wii.

Unless you already know what version of boot1 your wii has, there is no way to find out except to install an Infectus and try manually installing Bootmii. We don't know what serial number coincides with the change from boot1b to boot1c (the trucha bugged one and the fixed one), however, the change almost certainly happened in wiis manufactured around July or August of 2008. Therefore, your wii could have either version of boot1.]]> jbc007 FixMiiMon, 15 Feb 2010 22:42:55 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,49262,49262#msg-49262 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,49262,49262#msg-49262
