I have a wii at home that boots fine into bootmii boot2. I can backup NAND / restore nand etc.
However when I try to boot into sysmenu it does not work. I got it to work 1 time out of 100 but then it fails again.
Also when I use a cboot2 enabled program (signcheck / wadmanager) it errors out with: Failed to load IOS (in red) .
I was able to run signcheck once. What could cause something like this? Is it the ARM cpu that is bad as bootmii runs on the ppc cpu?
I am trying to fix this wii and it would be nice to get it working again.

Nothing loads from bootmii when it needs an IOS. Mini apps works. So I am going to try to run linux later.
See if that works. I am just trying to troubleshoot this wii. Not particular apps. one of the symptoms is that cboot2 gives this message.
If there are any test apps or mini compatibel apps around I will gladly try them

This wii has been re-installed using the comex nand formatter tool. Which installs without a problem. (And I have done more than one with this tool without any problem before)
When I got the wii working again I went through all the steps to install the software and I got to the system menu.
Than after a reboot the wii went black again. As before. So every now and then it boots to menu.
And I am still figuring out what is wrong with it. Is the nand that is not working properly? or is one of the cpus is the dram bad ...

If IOS 30 is installed together with sysmenu 3.1 and regionselecter with EULA v2 which is standard procedure with the nand formatter.
Than you just type in your wii name and screen type. All things you normally do with a freshly installed wii.
Even bootmii says it has 3.1E installed (it is a pal wii) when checking systems.
Also I tried a converted nand with betwiin and that one also did not work
