QuoteyellowstarNever mind, it's simple to find the boot2 version inside an NAND dump /w spare data: check the big-endian u16(2 bytes) at 0x21ee0 in the dump, for the boot2 version. I found this by searching for 0000000100000001 twice, then the version is 0x50 bytes after that. @yellowstar I have 0x21ee0 00 03 00 01 00 00 00 00-00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 0x21ef0 00 00 00 00 00 02 3F 71-EAby Juan - FixMii

Hi, I am relatively new on this unbricking work. So, not yet, and not any time soon if I do it myself. But I believe it will work. What's important is that bushing's answer will help many people. After reading bushing's answer, people who have necessary skills should be able to do it quickly.by Juan - BootMii Beta
Hi, I am sure the following information from bushing will be very helpful for you: bushing said: "There are copyright issues that make it annoying to distribute a raw form of BootMii (since it normally reads boot2 from NAND, patches it, and writes it back out). However, it's pretty easy to install it with a hardware NAND flasher. boot1 is stored in block 0 of flash (pages 0-0x3fby Juan - FixMii
I want to thank bushing for the answer. And I know I am only one of many many people who really appreciate what Team Twiizers have accomplished. Thank you!!by Juan - BootMii Beta
Marcan said that "BootMii-Core replaces the boot2 ELF loader with a composite file consisting of our own ELF loader (the “stub”), and the BootMii-Core payload (the “loader”). Our new “boot2? now consists of three parts: Our stub ELF loader, the BootMii-Core ELF, and the original BOOT2 ELF - the former two taking up the spot of the original ELF loader." So for question 1, it seems that both theby Juan - BootMii Beta

According to Wiibrew Wiki, BootMii is comprised by four pieces of software: the Installer, the Loader stub, MINI, and bootmii-ppc. The BootMii-beta Readme said that the HackMii installer installs BootMii into NAND and creates several files on SD card: /bootmii /bootmii/armboot.bin (MINI) /bootmii/ppcboot.elf (BootMii GUI) /bootmii/bootmii.ini (configuration file) So to install BootMiiby Juan - BootMii Beta
