I didn't realize my PMs until now, I will try both the suggestions I got and get back to you guys.

Thanks again for the help :] hopefully I'm competent enough to figure it out <.<

This certainly can be fixed. Comex's NAND formatter really should work, but you aren't the only person to have problems with it. You could find another version of it and try that. It may work, and would be the easiest way to fix it. If that doesn't work, you could use Betwiin to convert a NAND backup from another wii to work on yours. However, unless you have another wii with the same boot1 and same or greater boot2 version as yours, this may be impractical. I'll PM you something else that may be useful.

Still no help huh? =/ bummer.... It's been almost a month, and it would have been nice to at least hear if I'm 100% bricked or not. Could have saved me a lot of time...

Maybe I did something wrong with the Nand formatter?

Re: Problem, please help!

nothing has changed, I went through and did the wads individually like you said, and everything still looks the same except my nand usage went up to 64.2%

I still have no clue whats going on, lol.

Just a quick thought. If only his sysmenu was deleted, couldn't he just re-install it, rather than formatting?

Simply installing a system menu and its IOS would not work. However this probably would. Unfortunately, since he can't access the Homebrew Channel, launching it would require the use of an unsupported program. Besides, this version of the formatter only installs WADs, it does not actually format the NAND.

which wad is installing? And are you using sysmenu 3.1 and ios30?
If so remove all the wads from the folder and copy first the ios30 wad to the wad folder then the sysmenu. And then the rest
Then try again and see what happens

I did that, a screen came up at is said installing, fsize, and then done... what do I do after that? it freezes up there. I can't exit or do anything and my system menu still doesn't know

EDIT: I should add, it looked like only one of the wads installed... and I go back to do it again and it still only installs one

On the root of your SD card, make a new folder and name it wad. Put the four WADs mentioned in the readme in the folder you just created. Finally, launch the NAND formatter from the SD card section in Bootmii.

Fino — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 20:42:13 +0100

Okay, so I finally got the files. it says I should put the files in my wad folder... I don't have one on my sd card. I'm wondering if there's other files I might need. what should my sd card look like?
like, have the formatter.elf file on the root and my wad file on the root as well?

Thanks, hopefully I'll get this figured out before mlg orlando. haha

Get WineBottler (http://winebottler.kronenberg.org/) if using OSX, or Wine if using Linux, and use that to run NUSD to get the WADs.

Re: Problem, please help!

Fino — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 19:20:08 +0100

oh cool... to get the wads I need a windows computer... fml

lol

Re: Problem, please help!

jbc007 — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 19:14:49 +0100

Use NUS Downloader to download the WADs mentioned in the readme. Make a folder called wad on the root of your SD card and put the WADs in it. Then launch the formatter from Bootmii.

Re: Problem, please help!

Fino — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 19:11:14 +0100

okay, so I have the .elf file at the root... what other files do I need?

Re: Problem, please help!

jbc007 — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 19:09:47 +0100

This simply means that your system menu was deleted. There should be no issue using Comex's NAND formatter to fix it.

Re: Problem, please help!

NAND FS usage: 62.3%
What does that mean .-.?

I don't know much about this stuff sorry, guess that's why I came here for help =]

EDIT: also, for system menu it says "unknown bootia boot2v2"

Re: Problem, please help!

jbc007 — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 18:51:00 +0100

It would be nice if you answer my question, as it could make a difference if your NAND FS usage is 3.3%. Anyway, you can put the NAND formatter wherever you want. Make sure that you have the correct WADs in a folder called wad on the root of your SD card, then locate and select formatter.elf in the SD section of Bootmii.

Re: Problem, please help!

Fino — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 17:52:16 +0100

Yeah, I didn't make a backup =/

Did you see this first?

What is your NAND FS usage? You can see this by selecting the gear icon in Bootmii. Also, what does it report for your system menu version? Anyway, restore a NAND backup, assuming you made one.

Re: Problem, please help!

Fino — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 07:01:18 +0100

the formatter.elf file you linked me to

Re: Problem, please help!

jbc007 — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 01:29:52 +0100

What file?

Re: Problem, please help!

Fino — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 19:13:11 +0100

So, do I just put that file at the root of my SD card?

If you don't have a NAND backup, you can use Comex's NAND formatter. Be sure to read the readme first.

Few days ago I updated to the latest version of homebrew. This afternoon I try to turn on my wii, and the screen on my tv is blank. I try holding the power button on my wii to turn it off and then turning it back on and I get the same result, also tried unplugging my wii. However, when I did this the blue led light on the front started flashing. I thought it might be a problem with bootmii, so I take the sd card out and try again. Again, nothing appears on screen, but the blue light stopped flashing. Later, I put the SD card back in and tried again and this time boot-mii loads, but when I try to go to homebrew or the system menu the screen goes blank and nothing happens.

I'm not sure what to do at this point and would really appreciate some help.
