am using a universal programmer its a chinese brand. it can support all sorts of nand flash and etc. so this programmer has its own software. the nand that the wii use is in the list of its nand but then as the support team says its not yet tested, so the reason for the bug. am thinking that when i reprogrammed the nand it wasnt successful maybe the reason why it keeps on failing when i try to veby solac - FixMii
what is anonxiflash? wonder if this could be configured to word with my reader/writer ?by solac - FixMii
well my reader/writer is from china. it came with a software that updates from time to time. I have already emailed the company that made the programmer and the support said that that certain nand was not tested so it could have some bugs. i wonder if other software flasher can be used on my reader/writer. thanks yellow start, but i need to fix the issues for my nand reader writer, i have a gby solac - FixMii
bad news, already flashed the file to the nand. but for some reason after programming the programmer warned the verify error because of bad block. But i went on ahead since i thought the programming did finish. so installed the nand back to the board when i turned it on nothing just garbled screen. fan doesnt seem to work although never really noticed if it did work before. before removing nand wby solac - FixMii
i have already copied over the 0x21000 - 0x108000 from the good dump to the bricked dump. now if i can find time to flash it to the nand and solder it back to the wii to actually try if it will boot up with bootmii. :) by the way does the sd card have to be in the wii for bootmii to boot up ?by solac - FixMii
ok il try this out when get the chance, well hbc was installed in the bricked firmware since my bro told me that he used that to run the apps that bricked the unit. so i guess there is still some hope to revive this bricked wii:) so basically the bricked wii is a 4.0j with hbc installed but it got bricked upon downgrade. so after i copy the bootmii i hope hbc boots up :) il keep you guysby solac - FixMii
i was thinking instead of extracting keys from otp. Can i try to copy bootmii section of the good dump and replace the section of the bricked wii's dump ? in this case hbc might boot up and i might be able to fix my bricked wii? or bootmii can't be copied over because its encrypted? what is the starting offset of the bootmii ? and what offset does it end ? so maybe i can try this? amby solac - FixMii
already checked my boot2 compared the good dump with the bricked dump and its the same. although i don't know what version this is. how do you copy that section from winhex anyway ? so that i can show you guys. :) so does this mean if i flash the good dump to another nand and re-solder it to the wii, it should boot up since they have the same boot version? By the way i was thinking, sinby solac - FixMii
yeah if not to much to ask. Mmmm maybe you could also tell me how i could get the bootmii in the other dead wii's dump. Il upload the dump files asap when i get home :) thanks a heap yellowstar :) il pm you the download link once its all done :Oby solac - FixMii
by the way i got another nand havn't dumped it yet but it came from an early u.s. version wii. I am assuming that the nand and whats inside is still good. The wii that i took it out from had hardware problems it freezes up after a while of playing but it used to boot game and stuff with no problems. I was thinking of using this spare nand to use to my bricked wii. :) athough i have no idea wby solac - FixMii
yellowstar if its not too much to ask can i just send you the dump and can you check for me ? :) what you wrote kinda made me dizzy. hehehe :) althought the file is quite large its about 500+mb how can i send this file ? wonder if mega upload allows file size this big to be uploaded. :) I really don't know how to read hex files so before when i was tying to unbrick a psp a lot of people helpby solac - FixMii
thank you very much yellow star this really cleared things out for me. anyway how would i be able to dump my keys? so i have a good nand dump with bootmii installed, clearly i can't flash this dump to the dead wii's nand. I was thinking would it be possible to install bootmii externally ? (like a hex editor) In this way i could edit out the dump that i got from the dead wii so thatby solac - FixMii
hey guys am a noob here, need help regarding a bricked wii, already posted on a thread here but no replies. so i decided to start a new thread. anyway it was bricked due to downgrade fail. i wasn't the one who downgraded so i don't really know how it happen. I have already tried a couple of tips and tricks like pressing the directional buttons on a gc controller but nothing. Wheby solac - FixMii
i have a bricked wii as well its a japan version with system menu 4.0 my brother tried to downgrade it using banner bomb and didnt really know what happen. Now when you turn it on it just shows a black screen with no sound. Tried replacing the bluetooth dongle with no go as well. Tried to go to recovery menu (using gc controller) nothing as well. So i guess its the nand image. What do i needby solac - FixMii
