QuoteErikieIf you install a nand flasher you can flash bootmii also in the nand and can then recover your own wii. No need for a conversion of another nand. Fixed many wii's that way. Most wii's are bricked by a stub IOS so installing the correct sysmenu fixes most of the issues Could you walk me through what I would need to do this and how exactly I'd do this?by pikay2k - FixMii
Quotejbc007The Bootmii files will not help you without Bootmii installed as boot2. If you have to launch Bootmii from the Homebrew Channel and it does not appear when you turn on the wii, it is installed as IOS, not as boot2. By the way, did you ever downgrade your wii from 4.0 or higher or install a stub IOS 50? Doing either of these things would cause the brick. If you did neither of thesby pikay2k - FixMii
Question: I still have the armboot.bin and ppcboot.elf files on my memory stick. Those are pretty much useless without bootmii installed as boot2 though, right? When Bootmii installs straight from HBC, it doesn't install as boot2?by pikay2k - FixMii

They will not be able to tell that you have homebrew, and they may fix it for free. What exactly are my chances at a free fix? I mean, if a customer called telling them that they just did a mandatory upgrade to play a game they purchased, then got screwed over,by pikay2k - FixMii
I researched a bit on this, and although other cases are similar, I have one that I'm not sure is fixable or not. Okay, so I've had my wii Twilighted for quite some time with no real problems. I also installed Bootmii on it directly from the homebrew channel, but apparently it wasn't installed in the way that can resurrect my wii (The LED doesn't flash 2 times when I boot iby pikay2k - FixMii
Quotejbc007The only way that Nintendo can find out that this wii was modified is if he tells them. It looks exactly like a wii that was bricked by a failed update, which Nintendo fixes for free. But my Wii bricked with HBC still installed. Wouldn't they be able to tell just by looking at my channels? Or do they actually adhere to some privacy policy and don't look into your channelsby pikay2k - FixMii
