keys.bin specific to nand.bin? Hello all, I did a bit of searching on Google and this forum, but couldn't really find anything so I thought I would ask. Is the keys.bin file specific to its nand.bin or could I use the keys.bin with any nand.bin. The problem is that when I did my first backup I failed to grab the keys.bin, so I was wondering if I could just generate a new one with a new backup and use that file with my old backup. Thanks in advance and sorry if this has been asked and answered elsewhere.http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?25,60756,60756#msg-60756Mon, 13 Jul 2026 08:16:41 +0200 Phorum 5.2.23 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?25,60756,70465#msg-70465 Re: keys.bin specific to nand.bin?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?25,60756,70465#msg-70465

Yeah, I believe only the first versions of BootMii created the key.bin separately.

Nope, pretty sure that's wrong. The first versions didn't create a keys.bin, that was added later, to make it easier for people to get their keys, rather than having to take them out of the nand.bin with a hex editor or whatever. Makes tools like Betwiin much easier to use.]]> SifJar BootMii BetaTue, 08 May 2012 17:36:01 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?25,60756,70464#msg-70464 Re: keys.bin specific to nand.bin?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?25,60756,70464#msg-70464 bg4545 BootMii BetaTue, 08 May 2012 17:14:05 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?25,60756,70463#msg-70463 Re: keys.bin specific to nand.bin?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?25,60756,70463#msg-70463 SifJar BootMii BetaTue, 08 May 2012 13:29:26 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?25,60756,70462#msg-70462 Re: keys.bin specific to nand.bin?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?25,60756,70462#msg-70462 tueidj BootMii BetaTue, 08 May 2012 13:06:28 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?25,60756,70455#msg-70455 Re: keys.bin specific to nand.bin?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?25,60756,70455#msg-70455
BootMii not showing up I'd more of a problem. Can't look at the image you posted right now, but make sure your SD card is definitely set up right. If you turn on the Wii without an SD card inserted, does the drive light flash twice? If not, you don't have bootmii as boot2 (anymore, at least).

EDIT: check the autoboot setting in bootmii.ini, make sure it's turned off.]]> SifJar BootMii BetaTue, 08 May 2012 01:16:06 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?25,60756,70450#msg-70450 Re: keys.bin specific to nand.bin?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?25,60756,70450#msg-70450
As I'm typing, I'm having an odd feeling.
My Wii is semibricked [I can see first warnings, but no sys menu] (btw: never be scared to over-insist about the importance of being careful whenever you let your 'friends' play your Wii).
Well, I thought I had been clever enough to copy the nand.bin file on a secure HDD... but I missed keys.bin (Call me whatever you feel the need to) Is it too late now ? And is it why my Wii is not booting on BootMii, even thought I installed it on boot2 and I got an SD card in ?

See [cl.ly] for structure of SD card.]]> PaxBrew BootMii BetaMon, 07 May 2012 22:20:36 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?25,60756,60862#msg-60862 Re: keys.bin specific to nand.bin?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?25,60756,60862#msg-60862 shiftymccool BootMii BetaMon, 18 Oct 2010 03:57:50 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?25,60756,60781#msg-60781 Re: keys.bin specific to nand.bin?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?25,60756,60781#msg-60781
So if you have a nand.bin without a keys.bin and you generate a new keys.bin using the same console, you should have no problems restoring the nand.

I hope this helps,]]> Axel BootMii BetaSat, 16 Oct 2010 21:21:24 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?25,60756,60768#msg-60768 Re: keys.bin specific to nand.bin?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?25,60756,60768#msg-60768 headfirst4halos BootMii BetaSat, 16 Oct 2010 17:41:57 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?25,60756,60766#msg-60766 Re: keys.bin specific to nand.bin?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?25,60756,60766#msg-60766 jbc007 BootMii BetaSat, 16 Oct 2010 16:47:20 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?25,60756,60756#msg-60756 keys.bin specific to nand.bin?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?25,60756,60756#msg-60756
