I was downgrading IOS and it simply never completed. I left the thing running for like 8 hours, never finished. Restarted the Wii and I was toast. Cannot boot into system menu or the HBC. I did have bootmii installed, however. I do not have a NAND dump. Since I cannot run the cboot2 installer I've been trying to piece together the files, but with no success yet.

Have downloaded cboot2 from a few different sources. Have used those as well as NTSC startup.elf (the one with cboot2 is PAL). Same results. The only possible difference is the bootmii folder.

I know this isn't a cboot2 forum, but there are a lot of smart people here... I'm either close or my Wii is so bricked I'm hosed. Don't know of anyone else with a modded wii, but downloaded the "bootmii" folder of someone online claiming they have run the installer. Followed the other cboot2 instructions as far as I know.

Originally I had an error every time I tried loading the system menu - "Your system files are corrupt." Read a few places online and was advised to just start reinstalling everything. During my IOS downgrade something went wrong. Now I can boot into Bootmii (boot2), but trying to load the homebrew channel or the system menu just gives a simple black screen.
