Hi !!! I work with the program (dop Mod IOS v2.6 Wii Mod), I installed an IOS, I selected an option incorrectly. I think I chose something korean version. After finishing the program, the Wii console was brick. The message I get when I turn on the console is ( Error: 003 Unauthorized device has been detected ). I can not do anything with the Wii. I want to know if you know how to fix the problem. I would appreciate any help you can give me. Thank you very much for your time and attention.

Seeing as you have BootMii/boot2 (I know this from your other thread), you can just rename the "bootmii" folder on your SD card back to "bootmii" and it'll load when you turn on the Wii. From there you can boot HBC (use reset button to move and power button to select in BootMii menu), and in turn load a program and fix your Wii. Without knowing exactly what you did, I don't know exactly what to advise to fix it, so on this occasion, I will ask if you could post a SysCheck (I say "on this occasion" because it is one of the rare occasions where it may actually be useful, but on certain other forums, it is asked for with any problem anyone ever has).

Hi Sif Jar !!! Sorry for not having given all the information. I have another Wii Console and this happened to me with the other Wii Console(Second Console). The last time you helped me was a problem with the (First) Wii Console.( Re: Console start with Bootmii Screen July 18, 2012 07:19PM ).The first time everything worked fine. This time I started to program the second Wii console(2nd). and I work with the program (dop Mod IOS v2.6 Wii Mod), I installed an IOS, I selected an option incorrectly. I think I chose something korean version. After finishing the program, the Wii console was brick. The message I get when I turn on the console is ( Error: 003 Unauthorized device has been detected). I was installing an IOS to play some WiiWare games. Then it was that happened to me. I can not do anything with the Wii. I want to know if you know how to fix the problem. I would appreciate any help you can give me. Thank you very much for your time and attention.

Well in that case, there is no easy fix. Seeing as you presumably don't have BootMii/boot2 on this Wii, you can't use that to fix it. I assume that seeing as you didn't install BootMii/boot2, it wasn't possible to install it, and therefore the hardware method for installing BootMii/boot2 will not work. Unless you happen to have a NAND backup from BootMii/IOS, there may very well be no way to fix the Wii. The problem is you must have a Korean Wii, with it's region changed to US or EU or whatever. This causes Error 003 on 4.3 (and possibly 4.2, can't remember). The "solution" devised by some people in the Wii scene is to install an old IOS (IOS60) in place of IOS80. You must have reinstalled IOS80, but installed the proper IOS80 instead of IOS60 in the IOS80 slot. Therefore Error 003 shows.

The only ways I know of to fix this are:

(i) restore NAND dump with BootMii/boot2 (simplest, but only works on older Wiis were BootMii/boot2 can be installed)
(ii) use BootMii/boot2 to load HBC, then load a homebrew app and either install IOS60 to the IOS80 slot, or else install System Menu 4.1 and IOS60 to the IOS60 slot (still fairly straight forward)
(iii) use Priiloader to load HBC, then as (ii) (requires Priiloader to already be installed before brick, and slightly more risky than with BootMii/boot2)
(iv) use the recovery menu and an autoboot disc to load a piece of homebrew to fix the issue (requires a modchip and patched System Menu IOS, or very patched System Menu IOS ["cIOScorp" or "darkcorp"]; alternatively you can use a modchip that supports autobooting retail discs along with a copy of Super Smash Bros Brawl and the Smash Stack exploit; there is also another lengthy workaround for using other game based exploits as well, modchip still required)
(v) use a hardware NAND reprogrammer to flash a backup made with BootMii/IOS (requires specialist hardware, which may not be available anymore, and a certain level of expertise; alternatively you can pay someone else to do it - you MUST have a BootMii/IOS NAND backup for this to work)

Without BootMii/boot2 or Priiloader, it depends whether the IOS80 you installed had any patches. Even if it did, you most likely need a modchip to be able to use option (iv). Option (v) is probably a last resort, and will ONLY work if you installed BootMii/IOS and made a NAND backup before bricking the Wii.

I can't think of anything more to tell you.

Thanks for your answer !!! I will try with the modchip first. Thanks for all your experience and attention. OK, I will tell you later what happend with the modchip.
