Thread: Semi-Bricked 3.4E on NTSC

Without actually checking the region I accidentally updated my firmware with 3.4E -- this has left my wii semi-bricked. Everything loads, I just can't access the system menu.

Attempting to access the system menu gives me the infamous "/fix/us/eng/index01.html" error.

I thought I would try and use AnyRegion Changer 1.1b -- but now it too gives me an error as seen [Only Registered Members May View Links| Click here to register]:
Identifying as SU...Error! ES_Identify (ret = -1017)
Initializing Filesystem driver...OK!
Error! ES_OpenTitleContent (ret = -1026)

So my installed region is identified as "."
The only reason I can tell the sysmenu version is bootMii identifies it as 3.4E
The Homebrew channel identifies my IOS36 v12.18

Unfortunately, I must have overwrote my NAND, or done something out of sequence because it tells me my backup belongs to another system (I think I installed boot2 over the backup).


Am I really stuck here until a new NTSC update? Or is there something else to do? I have a wiikey and the homebrew channel is loading.
I tried downloading System Menu v385 (3.4U) using NUSD v1.2 and installing it as a WAD but it gives me error (ret = -1035).

Unfortunately I'm very new to all of this -- I have only been reading enough to be dangerous -- so any help is appreciated
