A few days ago, I updated my Wii through Nintendo. I had a functioning homebrew install prior to this. After the update, either the HBC itself would crash out or some of the apps would not load. I can't remember which case it is. I tried to reinstall HBC--not sure what methods I used. I know everything was done through priiloader. If this sounds strange to you, I assure you it's because of mental health problems who's treatment leaves me with a very bad short term memory.
With that being said, through pure negligence, I may or may have not performed an illegal modification to my wii while trying to recover my homebrew. I am not be snarky, I just can't remember what I did. I was following any kind of guide that would get my homebrew back. IOS files have been modified--if that's illegal, please don't ban me, I have no intent to be a pirate or anything other than a "law" abiding person.
Facts:- Wii is not "bricked" as far as I know by my understanding of the term. System menu
4.3U loads fine. All my regular channels including disc channel work.
- I deleted HBC in an attempt to reinstall, so I have no HBC.
- Priiloader works. Bootmii appears to work, but I cannot restore my nand backup--some kind of error message starting with "Try harder..."
- Most homebrew apps
do work thru priiloader-->wiiexplorer.
I have tried running hackmii through priiloader to try and reinstall HBC, but it errors out. I'm aware I haven't provided enough information here, but I haven't homebrewed a Wii in a long time, and my memory/cognition issues are preventing me to help troubleshoot this thoroughly. Any input is greatly appreciated. Please don't ban me, I'm just an "idiot" with no intent for malice.
