Ok :) The nand is the flash memory inside the console. You need a working wii with bootmii installed, bootmii will let you backup the nand memory and the console keys. For extracting the keys from your wii you need to use infectus 2 chip and flash a working backup so you will have bootmii installed on the console. Installing infectus 2 is not a simple procedure, you need soldering skilby vola - FixMii
the files are /bootmii/ppcboot.elf and /bootmii/armboot.bin. I can send you the files if you need...by vola - FixMii
How you have installed bootmii? You have 2 options for installing: boot2 (the bootmii starts before sys menu) and IOS (bootmii starts from the HBC home menu). If you have the first option all ok, just put the bootmii folder on SD, otherwise you can do pratically nothing.by vola - FixMii
QuotepauloyuThanks for the reply, Vola! My have a backup from a working Wii extracted with bootmii. So, bootmii is already instaled in NAND? Yes, of course. If it is a bootmii v0.1 or v0.2 backup you have to strip out the last 1024 bytes from the file, with bootmii v0.3 you have 2 files already splitted.

I had the same problem, it's quite impossible to restore the sysconf in this state... at least I was not able to find a way... Anyway there is a solution, already posted: betwiin. Just search for a compatible working dump from another wii and you can convert it for your wii! I can help with it!by vola - FixMii
If you have a complete image containing bootmii, just flash it to nand chip "as is" (you can use another wii backup with the same boot1) Maybe these 17696 bytes are only the boot2 area for bootmii, you have to find the correct place to insert it. Bushing is saying you have to flash "at least" the first 1081344 bytes for install bootmii into the console. After that you will able to start bby vola - FixMii
You can recover converting a nand backup from a working wii to your wii with betwiin. I done this thing, see my post:by vola - FixMii
First, have you bootmii installed on the bricked console? I think no :) The thing you have to do first is to find a "donor" console with the same version of boot1 and bootmii installed and do a backup. Once you have this backup, with and hex editor strip out the last 1024 bytes (containg bootmii infos and keys) and then you can flash it directly "as is" on the nand with an infectus2.

Last update: I successful unbricked the console !!!! After comparing some dumps I definetly see that the range 0 -> E7A60 looks similar except some ECC data... So I pick this data from the working briked dump ad replace to the generated dump and the restore was done!!! Thanks bushing for your tool :Dby vola - FixMii
Don't worry for gbatemp, I was just looking around for the problems and ideas to solve it :)by vola - FixMii
I tried another trick, since bootmii says me: bootmii found in boot2, ok to proceed. Warning: boot1 mismatch, not writing sry, i haz fail: -1 and this is not true (I read other people on gbatemp with the same problem), I tried to replace the first 17k of the generated dump with the same part of a working backup (the backup is of the bricked situation and restores). No luck also thisby vola - FixMii
Thanks super_ness, if you can upload it somewere... note that i need a PAL backup :) Anyway the problem is very strange, i re-check the versions of boot1 and boot2, and : bricked wii has boot1b and boot2v2 the first backup I used has boot1b and boot2v3 the second backup has boot1b and boot2v2 The read me of the program says, boot1 must be the same and boot2 equal or newer...

I checked the boot1 hash with the bootmiichecker and looks the same: 2cdd5aff .... etc The bootmii credits also looks the same: boot1b boot2v2by vola - FixMii
Hi all, I have a bricked wii with bootmii installed and a non-working backup, I can boot only hbc. The wiimote is not synchronized and doesn't work within any homebrew app, only gc controller. Many of homebrew apps doesn't support gc controllers so I can't do pratically nothing. In the last days I see a new cool tool by bushing, betwiin, which can convert a backup from a woby vola - FixMii
You can just copy the last 1024 bytes of a bootmii-generated backup to another and restoremii will accept the backup, but I'm not sure that the other tools bakcups are in the same format of bootmii, since there is ECC infos with the data. So the risk is to restore not valid data and nothing will work.by vola - BootMii Beta
The bootmii nand dump contains a 1024 byte footer with the console unique keys, these keys are checked before restore, if they don't match, restoremii refuses to restore. The other tools backups don't have this infos in the file, I think if you check the file sizes, they are different.by vola - BootMii Beta
