Did you install bootmii as boot2? If so, is the SD card you used to install it inserted into your wii?

No no no...

It should be:
Root/bootmii/armboot.bin, bootmii.ini, ppc.bootelf

So essentially, take the contents of the "boot" folder you have, and place those into your "bootmii" folder. Then, delete the "boot" folder.

I'm not sure if this would work (because I know nothing about themes), but you could try launching Dop-IOS MOD through the HBC, and installing IOS50 and a system menu.

I can't go on my computer right now (I'm useing my iPod) so is there any reason why restoremii isn't working???

I'm not sure...Sorry. You should probably just wait until you can access a computer.

I'm not sure if this will work but do you think I can fix it by just uninstalling the theme with the app?

Lol, well that would probably do it. :P

I don't know how themes work, otherwise I would've suggested that before. Go ahead and try it. :)

Edit: BTW, I would suggest forgetting about installing themes. They're pretty useless and generally illegal, so stay away from them.

Did you make your NAND backup with Bootmii Beta 3? If you did, that is why it says that it is from a different wii. This was fixed in Beta 4. I recomend that you update Bootmii and make another NAND backup now that it is fixed so that you will not have a problem the next time you need to restore a backup.
