How can I format nand on fully brick wii? Hello.Can anyone help me.You see my wii is bricked.I think that formatting the nand chip or replacing it will fix it.Will it work or I have to replace it or replace the motherboard.By the way my wii has gamecube ports telling you guys how old it is.http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,72772,72772#msg-72772Thu, 12 Mar 2026 21:43:06 +0100 Phorum 5.2.23 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,72772,72793#msg-72793 Re: How can I format nand on fully brick wii?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,72772,72793#msg-72793

Note that most of these devices will require soldering onto the NAND chip in your Wii.]]> SifJar FixMiiMon, 01 Apr 2013 23:03:32 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,72772,72786#msg-72786 Re: How can I format nand on fully brick wii?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,72772,72786#msg-72786 metroid_maniac FixMiiMon, 01 Apr 2013 22:21:44 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,72772,72785#msg-72785 Re: How can I format nand on fully brick wii?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,72772,72785#msg-72785 gugu FixMiiMon, 01 Apr 2013 21:43:30 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,72772,72782#msg-72782 Re: How can I format nand on fully brick wii?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,72772,72782#msg-72782The Wii's hardware keys are encryption keys required to create a working firmware for your wii. They are console-specific, so they must be obtained from Bootmii.
If it is a software error, you will need a hardware NAND flasher to check your Boot1 version (to see if the Wii is old enough to install Bootmii) and actually install Bootmii. That'll require tampering with the hardware which may be difficult.
It may also be a hardware error. Can you turn the Wii on with the Wii remote?]]> metroid_maniac FixMiiMon, 01 Apr 2013 19:43:15 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,72772,72781#msg-72781 Re: How can I format nand on fully brick wii?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,72772,72781#msg-72781 gugu FixMiiMon, 01 Apr 2013 18:23:30 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,72772,72779#msg-72779 Re: How can I format nand on fully brick wii?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,72772,72779#msg-72779

How would he check his Boot1 version?
By dumping the NAND (using the hardware flasher) and looking at the beginning.]]> tueidj FixMiiMon, 01 Apr 2013 07:12:47 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,72772,72777#msg-72777 Re: How can I format nand on fully brick wii?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,72772,72777#msg-72777

If you do not have the nand keys, I do not think you can flash anything to the nand chip to fix it.
It depends if the Wii is old enough to allow BootMii/boot2 installation. If it is, this can be done using a hardware NAND flasher, then it can be used to extract the keys, which can then be used to create a clean NAND to flash. If it's too new for that, nothing can be done.

To the OP: Having GC ports is not a sufficient signal of the age to determine is BootMii/boot2 can be installed or not.
