Warning - Possible Full Brick after Downgrade to 3.2 from 4.0+ System Menu.

anteros · 10-09-2009, 12:42 PM

I had 4.2U and I installed IOS50 v4889.wad then I downgraded to 3.2U, but my wii still bricked.

I can still run bootmii, what system menu should i install to fix it?

Well if you got 3.2 installed then it should be that one. Your brick is unrelated to this thread by the way. IOS50 only prevents the upgrade 4.0 to 3.2 then to 3.4.

Install IOS30 for 3.2, then System Menu 3.2 for your region.

Hi, my wii is "bricked" because the system menu doenst work. i have installed bootmii beforehand. i have the files armboot.bin, ppcboot.elf and bootmii.ini in my bootmii folder.

Is there still a way to fix it for me now? and how?

i also have a backup from nand.bin that i made before my wii crashed. i hope that my wii can be fixed.

bootmii is launched by having the bootmii files on your sd card.

unless you installed bootmii as an ios

XeroxNL · 10-18-2009, 06:57 AM

I just bricked my unit. I have the D2Ckey installed. Can I but a wii and swap the entire DVD drive, leaving my chip on the old drive and run it on the new wii? Or do the new wii's prohibit this?

Thanks
