I'm not going to remove the link. It's what I used to fix my Wii and people who have the same problem that I did might come across this thread later and I want them to know what worked for me.by cruddybuddy - FixMii
In case anyone else runs into the same problem I had, here is the solution I used... I used the comex formatter, which did NOT reinstall the system wads like it was supposed to. This essentially bricked my Wii, but in doing so it set me up to use the following guide to fix a full brick. So I followed the steps in this link, and it was like I had a brand new Wii.

UPDATE: I was able to install the 4 wads as directed by the readme file. When the wads were done installing, the message "done" appeared on the screen. I turned the power off, then back on, but I can't get the Wii to boot. I can still load up bootmii, and it would seem the comex formatter did indeed format the wii's NAND, but it did not properly install the required files. Any suggesby cruddybuddy - FixMii

Has anyone here even been able to get the Comex formatter to work? I followed the steps perfectly, but it doesn't install the wads. It SAYS it's installing the first wad, but then nothing happens.by cruddybuddy - Ideas, requests
The original poster hasn't responded to this, but I did get a copy from yellowstar, and while the filesize of comex's formatter is different from the other two I have tried, it does not seem to progress during the installation either. I'm just going to leave it running for a while, but it doesn't appear to be doing anything. I created the WADs and left the original filenames,by cruddybuddy - FixMii
