If you have DarkCrap (I didn't watch that video), use DOP-Mii to install the latest revisions of all IOSes, but do not install any stubs. Install the oldest revisions of IOS 60 and 70. There is nothing else you should need to do.by jbc007 - FixMii
If you want to re-update to 4.3, Nintendo's online updater is safe. The only issue is if you update from a game that has 4.2. I think DOP-Mii can delete IOS 70 (it can at least downgrade it, which would be fine), otherwise you can use AnyTitle Deleter or a WAD installer. This is unnecessary if you re-update to 4.3, though.by jbc007 - FixMii
It is possible that there is something wrong with the Priiloader hacks; try disabling them. I have no idea what that title is, and I suppose it could be the problem. I certainly don't see how deleting it could cause any (major) problems.by jbc007 - Homebrew General
It will. It is almost easier to update the shop channel with homebrew (WiiSCU must be downloaded manually; the HBB does not contain NAND modifying applications for the most part), but there isn't much harm in updating. 3.4 is kind of pointless anyway.by jbc007 - Homebrew General
It doesn't really matter, though it would be easier to just uninstall IOS 70. Nothing other than Bootmii/boot2 could protect you from this sort of brick (priiloader is deleted upon system menu installation, and besides, it relies on the system menu's IOS, which in this case would not be functional), so you must not let it happen.by jbc007 - FixMii
There is really no benefit to updating, but if you want to then just do it. The HBC will still be there. Bootmii/boot2 will be removed, if you have it, but it can be reinstalled.by jbc007 - Homebrew General
Also, you now have a stub IOS 70 (unless you deleted or downgraded that too). Therefore, if your wii is ever updated to 4.2 (from a game disc, for example), it will fully brick. This can only be repaired with Bootmii/boot2 or by restoring a working NAND backup with hardware. This is why downgrading is often considered a bad idea.by jbc007 - FixMii
That should work.by jbc007 - Getting Started
That program is a PC utility for extracting and packing game saves. It requires a key dump from XYZZY or Bootmii, but that is it. It is not useful for brick recovery or key extraction. Some keys are on the NAND (the common key is included in each IOS, IIRC), but I'm not sure that the NAND encryption key is. Again, if you are able to read that key from the NAND, you already have the keyby jbc007 - FixMii

If you read through the various stickies on the forum, you will be led to believe that Bootmii Beta 1 is the latest version and it may have been abandoned, Bushing still wants to convert people's NAND dumps to run on different wiis (unless he really still does, despite his release of Betwiin quite a while back), nobody has found a solution to a brick in two years, and this needs more relevanby jbc007 - Feedback & Support
QuoteMagilNow, I'm still a bit baffled by the ammount of keys the Wii requires for many tasks, but isn't there some sort of "master key" approach we could use? No, the NAND encryption keys are unique to each wii. It will not accept any sort of "master key". QuoteMagilOr in any event... aren't the keys encripted somehow in the NAND also, so that if we somehow dump it using theby jbc007 - FixMii
Good luck with that. The OTP is part of the Starlet, which is part of the Hollywood. Here is a picture of the Hollywood, though it's really much smaller than this makes it appear. . Somehow I doubt that anyone is going to open that up, locate the Starlet inside of it, and then find the OTP inside of the Starlet. Even if you somehow manage to locate it, dumping the OTP is completely anotby jbc007 - FixMii
AnyRegion Changer can change it back, but it still requires a trucha bugged IOS 36. Normally, you won't have this on 4.3. Therefore, use DOP-Mii to install IOS 36 v1042. Then run AnyRegion Changer. After this, you may optionally re-update IOS 36 (there is no benefit to doing this).by jbc007 - FixMii
Bootmini.elf will not help you. If you have a working NAND backup, restore it and your wii will be fixed. If you don't have a working NAND backup, we must determine what is wrong so as to choose the most appropriate method of repair. Find the section of Bootmii where it tells you your NAND FS usage and system menu version, and tell us what it reports for these.by jbc007 - FixMii
The keys are stored in the OTP, which is part of the Starlet. They can be extracted without decrypting the NAND file system, otherwise Bootmii would not be able to access them, and fixing a wii by manually installing Bootmii/boot2 would be impossible. In theory, it should be possible to extract these keys using hardware, but this has never been done. AFAIK, no body even knows exactly where theby jbc007 - FixMii
Formatting through the system settings does not actually format the NAND file system. If deletes some things and that's about it. It is quite possible that there is some system file left that would not be removed by the format. Also, I doubt that this is hardware failure. Do any unusual hidden channels, IOSes, or anything else that would not normally be on on a wii appear in AnyTitle Dby jbc007 - Homebrew General
Bootmii/IOS will not help you recover from a brick. If you can access Priiloader, repair is possible. Though, we really need to know how your wii became bricked in order to help.by jbc007 - FixMii
That is an interesting idea. Boot2 normally boots the system menu's IOS, which then load the system menu. However, when gamecube games are launched, boot2 is used to launch MIOS (in case you are wondering, Nintendo does not use boot2 to launch anything else). In theory, it may be possible to have it boot into gamecube mode automatically (I really don't know for sure; we are reachingby jbc007 - FixMii
These are all good questions. Its been awhile since I had a good theoretical discussion of the wii anyway. The NAND file system is encrypted with a set of keys unique to each wii. These keys can only be extracted by software, such as Bootmii or XYZZY. Therefore, without already having the keys, it is impossible to install anything on the NAND file system by hardware. Boot1 and Boot2 are stby jbc007 - FixMii
Normally, the Bootmii files can only be created by the Hackmii Installer. However, you likely can find them online. I recommend you google it unless someone is willing to send them to you. I could give you the files from Beta 2 if you want; they are somewhat out dated, but should work.by jbc007 - FixMii
This seems like an appropriate place to continue this discussion. Betwiin can be used to convert a NAND backup to work on another wii. This is one option for fixing a brick, either with a hardware NAND programmer of Bootmii/boot2. However, to do this, you must have the keys from the bricked wii.

I apologize. I was suggesting you read through this topic and that guide, but not to move our discussion here. I have no problem answering questions, but let's leave this topic for discussion Karrde's issue. I will continue this discussion in your topic.by jbc007 - FixMii
Well, good luck. I hope you succeed at your FailMii removal attempt. Though, if you encounter any unusual problems (this really is quite possible), I would like to hear about it. Edit: Come to think of it, there is one major flaw in your plan: you don't have cIOScrap! Therefore, I have a hard time envisioning you successfully removing it.

The HBC will be removed unless you have the latest version. The Twilight Hack and Bannerbomb will not work after the update, so if you do not update the HBC first, you will need one of the currently exploitable games to reinstall it. On system menu 3.3+, the HBC and all other custom channels can not be copied from the SD card to the wii. After updating, homebrew relying on old IOS exploits (trby jbc007 - Getting Started
Why go to so much unnecessary effort when there is no possible benefit? Of course, making a NAND backup is still a very good idea.by jbc007 - Homebrew General
That has nothing to do with this topic, and I suspect you know which topic it really is relevant to. In any case, that guide answers those questions, if you take the time to read it. A NAND backup from one wii will not work on another wii. Therefore, the only way to fix such a problem is to manually install Bootmii/boot2 or restore a working NAND backup from the same wii.by jbc007 - FixMii
There is essentially no benefit to updating. You will get the SD card channel and SDHC card support in the system menu (but not in old games, and homebrew already supports SDHC cards), but this is not that useful unless you have purchased many things from the shop channel. Also, you will no longer be able to copy the Homebrew Channel and other custom channels from an SD card back to the wii. Bby jbc007 - Homebrew General
First of all, your wii is not bricked. Anyway, is the game damaged? If it was used, this is quite possible. You may want to exchange if for another copy of the game. Also, what do you mean by the Indiana Jones pack? If you downloaded some premade package from another website, it likely contains things that will cause you problems down the road.
