SD not working after Homebrew and BootMii update

Last night I updated my Homebrew and BootMii as boot2 to the newest versions. Now, I am unable to see any applications in Homebrew, just bubbles. I am also not able to access the SD card from Wii data management. I am getting "The device inserted in the SD Card Slot cannot be used" error when clicking the SD Card menu. However, I am able to restore and create NAND backup using bootmii as boot2, so that leads me to think that the SD reader and card are ok. I am on a 4.2U using a 2GB SD card that was loading all apps before the update. Can anyone give me some help? Thanks a million.

Strange problem. I don't think I've heard of anyone else experiencing this problem...Make sure the read/write switch on the card is off.

EDIT: Oh, and don't make more than one topic for the same thing please.

The switch is not locked and I am able to read and write to the card using boot2. I have tried 3 different cards and they all give the same problem. Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Hmm...check what IOS HBC is running on (press Home in HBC and it'll say it the top right corner).

Are you sure you did NOTHING except install HBC between the card working and it not? If you did, and you decide not to mention it for some reason, it could seriously hamper our chances of helping you...

When you say you can restore NAND dumps via BootMii/boot2; If you do so, and restore a dump from before you upgraded HBC, does SD card work again?

Could you please post your HackMii Installer log file too? Not here, as that'd clutter the thread, but post in on pastebin.org or something and post a link here.

I am running IOS 61 v21.29.

I am positive that I did not do anything except update and create the NAND backup. Unfortunately, I can't find my previous NAND dump. So, the only dump I have is after the 1.0.7 update.

Here is my installer log: [pastebin.org]

Thank you very much for your time.

Hmm, IOS60 is patched, perhaps that is causing issues in SM? Never heard of that causing issues before, but I guess its possible. Try installing a clean, unpatched IOS60 with dop-Mii, making sure to have a NAND dump before doing so. There is a chance that may fix the issues in SM. But it's probably unlikely I guess...

I will try that. How can I use dop-Mii without SD use?

Oh. Didn't think of that lol. Uhm...try loading it from a USB drive in HBC if you can.

So, upon close inspection, I noticed that one of the plastic pillars on the side of my SD card was missing. I examined the SD slot of the Wii and sure enough it was stuck in there not allowing for a solid connection. Talk about strange timing. I pulled the plastic piece out and all is well. Thank you so much for helping me SifJar.

Nevermind. I spoke too soon. The SD slot is still not working. How do I go about loading dop-Mii from the USB drive? I am now completely lost. Grrrrrrr

Well, I'm gonna guess this is a hardware issue now :( So dop-Mii probably won't help. But for loading apps off USB, just make an "apps" folder on the root of your USB drive (as you would an SD card for HBC) and fill it as usual. Then load HBC with USB drive plugged in. If apps don't show up immediately, try changing to USB by pressing 1 (or 2, can't remember) and selecting USB. Note that many drives are incompatible with HBC.

The SD icon lights up blue when I insert the card, and BootMii can read and write to the card with no problems. These 2 things make me wonder if it can be hardware. I will try an unpatched IOS60 this evening and let you know. Thanks again Sif Jar.

Hmm, yeah it BootMii can read/write SD card, it can't really be hardware...

What benefits, if any, does a patched IOS60 provide? I am curious as to how I got that to begin with. Hopefully restoring it with Dop-Mii will do some good.

The only "benefit" is being able to run custom channels off the SD card, however, that in itself is pointless IMO, because if you're gonna have to load SD Menu anyway, you'd be just as quick to load HBC and load homebrew from there.

Sif Jar, What do you think about running the Pimp My Wii to update all my IOSes after installing the non-trucha IOS60?

i think its a terrible idea. that app will perform many unnessecary patches whether you want them or not. you'd be better to do it manually with dop-mii

I installed the non-patched IOS60 v6174 using DOP-Mii . I am still unable to access the SD card outside of BootMii as boot2. I was hoping that would be my saving grace. Any other ideas?

Sorry as of August 14th we don't support patched IOSs - [forum.wiibrew.org]

My IOS is no longer patched as suggested by Sif Jar. My SD card is still unusable by the Wii System Menu after upgrading to 0.7 and now 0.8.
